The DU Pioneers are ranked #1 in practically every preseason poll. When I had the privilege of interviewing Head Coach Bill Tierney, he was able to give me more insight into Denver’s growth and how it goes beyond the team. Denver has (P)ioneered their way to three NCAA Final Four appearances in the last four years. The team is averaging well over .740 winning percentage and has a Denver-career record…
NCAA lacrosse season is fully underway as of this weekend. Both teams are matched well for the first time in two or three seasons and each squad has its advantages. Game time is set for noon EST in Durham, N.C. DUKE They’re a powerhouse that just repeated National Championship victories. Deemer Class and Myles Jones return following great 2014 performances. Deemer Class (midfield, junior) posted 65 points in 2014 behind…
Bethlehem, PA — According to news sources local to the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, three Lehigh lacrosse players had a little too much fun and cost them dearly. Alex Eaton, David Telesco and Patrick Corbett were out on the town one night and decided to have a snowball fight. Unfortunately, some of the targets included moving vehicles, which is a small offense all its own due to distracting drivers. The…
Many people claim that MCLA lacrosse teams are weaker or can’t compete at the NCAA level. I beg to differ. To participate in the NCAA, a team must be able to compensate for their travel (airfare, hotels, meals, transportation, missed classes, communications with professors, etc.). With that said, Colorado has become the lacrosse-mecca of western USA and the Colorado. Buffaloes are ready to show the NCAA what it’s missing. Colorado…
Photo Credit: LehighValleyLive.com Coming up this Saturday February 7 is the opener for both Lehigh and Marquette. There’s a lot of amplified following behind Lehigh this season, and Marquette still stands as a strong program also. I predict Marquette will be a bit off-beat to start 2015 as they don’t see their home turf until their fourth game of the season. Their first match-ups away are Lehigh, Hofstra and Richmond….
The Panthers proved to stalk their prey first half and attack second half, as they broke away from the Blue Hens in the third quarter of Sunday’s season-opening matchup to win 15-10. Both teams scored the same for the first two quarters: 3 goals in the first and 4 in the second. In the third period, Delaware was only able to find the back of the cage one time compared…
During this past offseason the Virginia Cavaliers released Danseglio (defense) from both the team and the school. He transferred to Maryland. Now, in their final preseason exhibition match, sources are claiming other defenseman Tanner Scales injured his Achilles tendon enough to sit him out the rest of 2015! Scales was going to be the one to step up and take over the command void left by Danseglio. Now that it’s…
Colorado remains the only undefeated team in the NLL this season. However, it’s only 3-0. So what if other teams have already lost, it’s still early in the season to make it a huge deal. What’s more is the Mammoth travel to Vancouver tonight, a mere week later after an initial meeting with the Stealth. I’d like to start off objectively: the Stealth lost last week in an away game…

His biography on the Denver University roster page is glittering and shining with numerous awards, milestones and honors. His play progresses consistently every year, as reflected in his stats. But we cannot just hold him to…
Photo Credit – Ian Neadle In both the USILA Coaches Poll and the Big East Coaches Preseason Poll, Denver U is predicted to be number 1 all around. Many of their players even make the all-conference teams. There’s more to the Pioneers that makes them so great. #GrowTheGame The obvious one is helping grow lacrosse in the west. Colorado has a huge lacrosse following these days, from youths to adults…
