Here is what to look for in tonight’s finale of the 2014 season. Calgary—For the Roughnecks to accomplish their mission they must play a carbon copy of Game 1.

In a rainy homecoming for the Lizards, Boston jumped out to an early 3-1 lead thanks to goals from Paul Rabil, Kevin Buchanan and Stephen Berger. The lone Lizards goal was scored by Crotty. While…
It seems like you can’t talk about Miles Thompson without mentioning Lyle. You can’t mention Lyle without Miles. It’s fitting that the brothers were named co-winners of the 14th annual Tewaaraton Award on Thursday evening. The Thompson brothers have not only helped rewrite the record books, but have also led Albany to national prominence. The Great Danes won their second straight America East Championship this season and recorded an NCAA…
Following Duke’s back-to-back championship wins, it seems there’s a solid perspective on the ACC as the Power House Conference. I think that’s accurate.

Let’s take a glance at the season-ending records of the ACC teams: Maryland 13-4 Duke 17-3…
Maryland jumped out to a 5-0 lead less than five minutes into Sunday night’s National Championship Game and it looked like the Terrapins would run away with the title. Lacrosse is a game of runs, so that thought was quickly dispelled by the Syracuse Orange. Syracuse answered with the next four goals to pull right back into the game. The Terrapins went on a 6-1 second-half run to take a…

Four of the five Tewaarton finalists took the field, Alyssa Murray and Kayla…
The Division II Championship took place at 4pm today in Baltimore, MD. Limestone went head to head against LIUPost in a heated and aggressive match. Though the crowd was bigger for the D-III match earlier today, I personally feel the D-II game was much more intense and dramatic. Both teams were missing basic shots under high defensive pressure. Limestone led the momentum of the game, but LIU Post kept at…

The question was asked of Maryland head coach Cathy Reese following her team’s 9-6 win over Northwestern. Was this the case of the better team winning? On paper, it looks like the answer is yet, but credit Reese for how she responded. “Anytime you step on the field, you have to compete,” she said. “You have to compete and you have to play well and execute if you want to…
