Lots of teams are kicking off their 2013 seasons this weekend. While some are already on their second or third games of the year. Here’s a look at what’s to come this Friday in NCAA Men’s Lacrosse competition: Friday, February 8 D1: High Point vs. Towson – High Point (0-1) put up a good fight against Delaware last Saturday, but came up short dropping the competition to the blue Hens…
The NCAA season is opening tomorrow with High Point taking on Delaware. What are the stories to watch this season throughout college lacrosse? Syracuse Loses Galasso to Foot Injury – Whatever plans the Orange had in their pockets with UNC transfer, Nicky Galasso, it will have to wait another season. The attackman has decided to get surgery on his foot after an injury he suffered last year at North Carolina…
The 2013 MLL Draft was nothing less than out of the ordinary. Big trades, coaching changes, and some questionable draft picks (per the norm). For Rochester, their game plan was to go for role players and prospects rather than starters. Owner Rob Clark mentioned in an interview with In Lacrosse We Trust’s Marisa Ingemi that, “We did immense research and peeled several “layers” back evaluating talent this year that was…
The Denver Outlaws were busy during the 2013 MLL Draft, trading players to get better picks. The biggest trade of the night for Denver was when they sent Mark Matthews to New York for Will Mangan and a draft pick. This was probably the biggest shock trade of the night, as Matthews helped the Outlaws overcome a Lizards 10 goal lead to come back and win in last year’s MLL…
After a disappointing end to the 2012 season, the Colorado Mammoth continued that downward spiral dropping their home opener to the Washington Stealth last weekend 17-13. The biggest lead Washington took on the Mammoth was 8 goals in the third quarter. The Mammoth will have to wake up as they head to Calgary to take on the Roughnecks. Calgary themselves are in the same predicament as Colorado is. The Roughnecks…
Today the Minnesota Swarm open up shop in Oakville, Ontario at the Toronto Rock Athletic Center. 2012 saw Minnesota playing tug of war throughout the season, back and forth with winning and losing. Before their engagement into the rigorous sessions of training that the Swarm are about to embark on, they were able to sign their first round pick out of Bucknell, Brock Sorenson (1st round, 2nd overall), along with…
2012 wasn’t what Coach Garber and the Ohio Machine were looking for. However, it was looked over since the team is in their first year and players are just learning how to play with each other. Going 2-12 will make anyone agitated, but for the Machine fans, they stuck through the highs and the lows and showed their support. Not many fans would do that. Luckily for the Ohio fans,…
Going into 2012, Long Island experienced a lot of turbulence. Their previous owner, Scott Rosenzweig had passed away, Max Quinzani decided not to participate in the MLL and their number one draft pick, Rob Pannell, requested and was granted a fifth year at Cornell after injuring his foot at the start of the NCAA season. There were also trades that threw their fan base off. It’s safe to say, the…
Head Coach Mike Cerino and the Charlotte Hounds organization have a very good put together 23 man protected roster. They’ve released some talent but have gained it as well with a few trades. Charlotte has brought in a few new faces with Peet Poillon and Casey Cittadino from Denver, and Kevin Drew out of Rochester. Midfielder Poillon was sent to Charlotte for attackman Jeremy Boltus. Peet brings his 37 with…
The University of Maryland is preparing for what should be another stellar season for Coach John Tillman and the Terps. 2012 ended in a rough fashion for Maryland, as they lost in the NCAA Lacrosse Championship game to the Loyola Greyhounds, 9-3. It was the Terps’ eleventh trip back to the championship game, after they lost last year 9-7 to Virginia in the finals. Two years in a row, both ending…
