WHERE: @ Georgetown WHEN: Wednesday March 19 @ 6:00 Loyola is one of, if not the hottest team in the country right now. After losing their season opener by one goal in overtime to Virginia, the Hounds have won six straight games, four of which have come against ranked teams. If the defense hadn’t collapsed worse than the Titanic in open ocean waters, the Hound would be 7-0 right now…

The one thing that the MLL has over every other professional sport is the unique ability to select college players before their respective final seasons on college campus. It has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. A team could pick a diamond in the rough and pick the player that breaks out in his final year on campus. On the other hand, a team could pick a player that…
Duke thought that Mike Sawyer graduated last year. Well, they are right, he did. Unfortunately, for the Blue Devils, his brother Matt Sawyer did not. On Sunday, Loyola and Sawyer torched the Blue Devils in one of this weekend’s showcase games. Sawyer and junior Nikko Pontrello combined for 11 of the team’s 14 goals as the Greyhounds routed the Blue Devils 14-7. Sawyer scored six goals while Pontrello added five…

WHERE: @ Princeton WHEN: Friday March, 7 @ 5:30 For the second week in a row, Princeton will be the site of another high profile matchup on Friday. North Carolina comes off a startling overtime defeat to Notre Dame while Princeton got served a nice dish of humility by Johns Hopkins.

WHERE: @ UMBC WHEN: Saturday March, 8 @ 12:00 Johns Hopkins sure has dispelled any notion that they will not make the tournament this season. Wins over Ohio State, Princeton and Towson have solified their expectations of an NCAA Tournament bid.

The sport of lacrosse is growing. Two weeks ago, the LXM Pro Tour and the MLL agreed upon a merger to allow players to play in both leagues. It also brought in a couple of new sponsors and companies to help grow the sport as well. With all the recent signings and mergers, it presents an interesting problem though. Will players have to choose between the NLL and MLL before…
