The college lacrosse season ends cruelly for most teams. The Dream of chasing a ring can end abruptly in May, and the harsh reality hits you that the run with your teammates is over. Instead of advancing and keeping the good times rolling, it’s time to return to a mostly-empty campus, pack up your belongings and head home.

For the eight top seeds, the Dream continues this weekend in the NCAA Quarterfinals. D-Fly & Dixie are here to get you set for a big weekend as the nation’s best vie for a coveted spot in Championship Weekend. They also talk about All-American teams, the transfer portal, the “Gio” saga and a whole lot more.
