They went 14-1 all season and destroyed the majority of their conference opponents. This…

They worked together over the season to establish better locker room comeradary and…

This is a very special gear column coming at you this week as I’m highlighting Maryland versus Notre Dame from Saturday. Both teams were sporting special uniforms and helmets in honor of the final regular game that depicted ACC postseason seeds/standings. Notre Dame sported their Shamrock Series gear. Their Cascade R’s were white with a green/gold combo making the ND decal. The same green outlined in gold was the player’s…

Irish Put Up a Fight, Maryland is Able to Soar Into ACCs

The primetime match up on Saturday of Maryland and Notre Dame started off on a bumpy note. Opponents were trying to get a feel for the other’s competition and systems, Notre Dame wasn’t capitalizing on the opportunities they had, and the Terps were unloading on Conor Kelly in goal. Maryland played aggressive offense, continuously bodied up against their defenders and made the Irish work for their protection. Matt Rambo, Mike…

Neadle’s Notes: Highlighting Those JV Moments

April 18, 2014

It all came down to this moment for my high school lacrosse career. I was going to be a senior, which meant varsity was the only option. Up to this point, I had been double rostered. I was definitely not the best player on my team. The competition of the area I come from is top notch high school athletics. Many players of many sports went off to schools on…

Lizards Run Up on Israel; Israel Third Int’l Team to Compete Against MLL

April 14, 2014

As was expected, JoJo Marasco and Rob Pannell looked as good on the field as they usually do. Unexpectedly, Israel performed extremely sub-par. The Lizards ran up the score to a final of 21-3. I equate this game to a previous one I watched this NCAA season: Lehigh versus Loyola. Both teams are very good, but the Lizards and Loyola are much higher caliber lacrosse programs than either Israel or…
