Furman Beats Canisius in OT
This game was millimeters from becoming a blood bath. With a final decision of 9-8 in OT in Furman’s favor, refs were losing control of the game, snow began to dump on Denver around halftime and dirty play went on all around. The ball went back and forth all day in a match much closer than the Denver-Air Force event opener. Furman and Canisius split 21 face-offs 11-10 respectively. Canisius…
Denver Tops Air Force 16-6
In a hard fought battle between the two Colorado powerhouses, Air Force came out fighting but Denver had all the answers on the day.

Second Half Surge Not Enough for Penn State
After a hard fought battle at Ridley Sports Complex in Loyola Maryland yesterday, the Greyhounds came out on top of PSU 8-6. There were many moments in the game where it seemed like the Nittany Lions would pull off the upset; there were just as many moments where you could tell Loyola had the advantage. Penn State drew first blood in the game and showed an early sign of life…
Edmonton Rushes Past Mammoth
Game momentum changes all the time in sporting events, but I’m not sure I ever saw one change hands as quickly as Friday night’s game between the Rush and Mammoth. Colorado kept the first half competitive as it was a fight the whole way. After locker room time at halftime, the Rush came out revived and swept the game right out from under the Mammoth’s feet, winning 11-7. Edmonton opened…
Clash of the Titans: Denver v Duke
Talk about a Cinderella story! To progress forward, one must pick up where they left off. That’s very literal for the DU Pioneers, who after ending their 2014 run with a loss to the Duke Blue Devils will consecutively open their 2015 season against that same opponent. This is ‘Clash of the Titans’ for a few reasons. For one, Duke is traditionally a powerhouse of lacrosse. In all 2015 preseason…
Ohio State Hosts Robert Morris
Buckeyes are coming off a poor introduction to the 2015 season and, more importantly, commencement of the BIG10 Conference. Three days ago, they fell to Detroit by a one-point margin. Robert Morris comes into this game starting their season, with only high hopes in their minds, versus Ohio’s post-game concerns. THE OHIO STATE The Buckeyes are a younger program than the majority of NCAA Division-I programs, but they’re much further…
Duke Tops Air Force in Second Half Surge
Following Duke’s win over High Point on Saturday, Air Force flew in to North Carolina for a second Blue Devil game yesterday (Sunday). The Falcons came out swinging and full throttle, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Duke roster depth, as the Blue Devils came out victorious 13-7. FIRST QUARTER Of the four goals committed in the opening period (two each side), three were on man-up opportunities. Duke drew…
