MLL Draft Prospects 2015: Goalies
If you missed it last week, I previewed the 2015 MLL draft at both the attack and midfield. This week, I shift gears to the man tasked with stopping them from scoring, the goalies. The goalie position is arguably the most important position in lacrosse. Similar to hockey, a hot goaltender can make a fringe playoff contender dangerous. A great goaltender can also be the key in erasing some of the…

2015 MLL Draft Prospects: Midfield
Last year, the midfield had the best player in college lacrosse in Princeton’s Tom Schreiber. The senior was the unquestioned No. 1 overall pick when the draft came around. In total, seven midfielders were picked in the first three rounds of the 2014 MLL Draft. As the draft rolls around this year, there isn’t the game-changing type midfielder like there was in Schreiber. In fact, I would say that this…
2015 MLL Prospects: Attack
The MLL Draft is quickly coming up on the lacrosse world as the temperature drops and snow falls from the sky. Last year, the attack position had several high impact players including Duke’s Jordan Wolf and St. John’s Kieran McArdle who both seemlessly transitioned from the college game to the professional level. Albany’s Miles Thompson and Virginia’s Mark Cockerton were also key contributors for their respective MLL teams. This season,…
What to Watch in the New B1G
The B1G conference has always been known as a football conference and why wouldn’t it be with national powers such as Michigan and Ohio State gracing the conference every year. However, the lacrosse world throws its hat in the B1G ring and in its inaugural season. Obvious programs such as Ohio State and Michigan make up the core of the conference landscape. Meanwhile, Penn State leaves the CAA, Rutgers leaves…
Fall Ball Check In: Colgate Raiders
At the end of 2014, the Colgate Raiders were on the outside looking in when it came to the NCAA Tournament. The Raiders went 9-7 in 2014 before losing five of their last seven games to close out the season. That included two consecutive losses to Loyola in the Patriot League Semifinals and then Syracuse to end the year. What is in store for 2015? Well before we can take…
Fall Ball Check In: Maryland Terrapins
The Maryland Terrapins ended 2014 with yet another Final Four loss, this time at the hands of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish by a score of 11-6. As they look ahead to 2015 and complete their fall ball season, the team brings back about half of their starters from last year’s team but lose a lot from a defense that ranked third in the nation in goals allowed per game…

Ohio Machine 23-Man Protected Roster Evaluation
The Ohio Machine had the biggest turnaround last season, in large part due to the addition of severa l LXM Pro Players and the addition of 2013 first round pick Peter Baum and 2014 first round pick Tom Schreiber. After finishing in last place last season, the Machine made the playoffs before losing to the Rochester Rattlers in the first semifinal game. As they head into 2015, here is the…
