Jeremy Sieverts Position Midfield Height 6′ 3″ Weight 205 lbs. College: Maryland When I began writing the story of Mike Simon (Stevenson/Bayhawks) that reminded me that he might not be the only one who has a similar story. Then it came to me that Jeremy Sieverts, even though much more known to the lacrosse world than Simon in the beginning, has traveled the road less traveled to get his…
What can be said about the emergence of Eric Law in the last 12 months? A high school All-American, Division III midfielder, a third option on a good attack line, field quarterback for an NCAA Semi-Finalist, a regular on a stacked Denver Outlaws rosters, and now making the cut to 52 for the United States World Team. That might be the definition of a journeyman. I had a chance to…
USA Profile: Michael Simon Height: 6’5” Weight: 230 lbs Position: Long Stick Midfield / Defense School: Stevenson University If I were to ask about Michael Simon, what could the average lacrosse enthusiast tell me? On a roster filled with great names like Paul Rabil, Matt Danowski, Ned Crotty, and Michael Evans, its hard to come across a name of someone the average fan knows a great deal about. The…
The Big East lost a considerable portion of their notoriety with Syracuse (ACC), Rutgers (2015 Big Ten), and Notre Dame (ACC) walking away from the limelight for new digs. Syracuse seemed to have a hold of the Big East Lacrosse spotlight. Notre Dame can look forward to getting around competition like St. Johns, which seemed to have the Irish’s number. Villanova no longer can surprise Syracuse. Rutgers will be entering…
The Boston Cannons finished the season in disappointing fashion, I am sure something that would be verified by their players. The attack dominant offense could not find enough in the tank to make it to the playoffs for a run at the title. Points were heavily in favor of their attack, which needed balance from their midfield. The defense and goal did not show their usual strengths either. The mid…
The Great Conference Realignment of 2013 has now subsided, so we can get to focus how things will be shaping up on campus this fall. Pieces of their respective puzzles have had the summer to recharge their batteries and set their goals for 2014. It is almost had to believe that most early fall meetings have already happened and off-season practice begins this coming week on some campuses. Focusing first…
With the MLL Championship Weekend coming to Philadelphia this weekend, its time to reflect on what steps these teams have taken to be in contention for the title. Congratulations to the Charlotte Hounds for making it to their first Championship Weekend appearance. They hit a nice groove to conclude the season and they have made great strides for such a young team. The Hamilton Nationals and Chesapeake Bayhawks, welcome to…
The migration of talent from north of the border continues and is finding more success each year. The graduations of Cam Flint, Jason Noble, Jake Hayes, Reid Acton, Robert Church, and the list goes on and on, prove that Canadians are successfully putting their stamp on the American Collegiate Lacrosse game. The infusion of their talents are not taking as long as had it been. Here is a list of…
With the graduates of 2013 making their way into future endevours, its about time we look at who will be the next best on the field. Starting out with defensemen is an easy answer. Why? As I told you before, a coach told me that if you cannot protect the back end, you won’t be able to play out the front door. Defense will be the staple of the next…
The 2013 College lacrosse season has been one for the ages. The championship team had five losses on the season and the number one ranked team going into the tournament had three. Favorites were nearly upset in the first round and the champion was a timeout away from making an early exit. I think 2013 could be mostly remembered for the young guns that came up to play big minutes…
