June 2, 2015

My favorite part of looking back on the season is remembering the extraordinary plays that made their mark.  In this edition, I’ll be taking a deeper focus on top goals.  Friday’s story will be top plays overall. Goals are one of the coolest parts of the game, and they’re even better when they’re scored in ridiculous ways.  Sure Sergio Perkovic and Myles Jones have incredible speed on their shots, but…

As part of the Syracuse Men’s Lacrosse team, losing to Johns Hopkins two Sundays ago did not go well with anyone on the team.  We all had high expectations of making Championship Weekend in Philadelphia and even winning the school’s 12th (if you’re a stickler, 11) NCAA Championship in the sport. But while most of my brothers and coaches headed back home this weekend, I also went back home to…

It was a feeling that many Denver players couldn’t describe. Some of them didn’t think that it was possible winning a national championship. But they did just that. For the first time in NCAA Division I Lacrosse history, the Denver Pioneers claimed their first ever National Championship with a 10-5 victory over the Maryland Terrapins. The victory gave Head Coach Bill Tierney his seventh national championship, his previous six came…

At his postgame press conference, Tufts Head Coach Mike Daly used the word tough a lot to describe his program. Work ethic and toughness were two of the building blocks that past Jumbos used to build the program that it currently is today. His team needed some of that toughness today against Lynchburg. To begin the game, the Hornets scored the game’s first four goals and took the game’s first…

Matt Rambo’s Twitter name is “Lion,” and he certainly played like one today, especially in the 4th quarter in an 11-10 win over Johns Hopkins. The sophomore from nearby Glenside and alum of La Salle College High School scored four goals and two assists to lead the Terrapins to their first national championship game since 2012, where they fell to Loyola. Maryland got on the board first with a goal…

What a game the first semifinal turned out to be! It looked to be a low-scoring affair for the first three quarters, as Denver took a 6-4 lead. But Denver got four more, and Sergio Perkovic added all five of his goals in the game before Nick Ossello tied it with nine ticks left in the game. Wes Berg got the game winner with 2:03 left in OT. Denver and…
