The National Lacrosse League trade deadline is never quite as exciting as the trade deadlines in other sports. However, several teams in this 2016 season have needs, which could lead to a few more moves than we are used to seeing. The Rochester Knighthawks might need to add a lefty with Cory Vitarelli on the shelf. Quinn Powless was added in a trade with New England earlier this season, but the…
If you follow any sports social media today, you were probably graced with the presence of one of the NLL’s top highlights of the season. Colorado Mammoth goaltender Alex Buque laid out Calgary Roughnecks transition Karsen Leung in one of the best viral lacrosse videos of the year.
Last year around this time, I took the schools who made the NCAA basketball tournament and decided to look at it from a lacrosse perspective. Several websites and sports blogs will do this for football or other sports, because most of those schools have division one or at least varsity programs. Lacrosse is different, and most of these will be club teams, which certainly makes this an interesting exercise. This…
The Atlanta Blaze remained active in the trade circuit for the second straight day, sending attack Ryan Walsh to the New York Lizards in exchange for attack Conrad Oberbeck and a 2018 third round draft pick. Oberbeck, a draft pick out of Yale in last year’s draft, played one game with the Lizards last season where he scored a goal. He is second all time in goals scored with Yale….
The Atlanta Blaze acquired two players this afternoon when they traded for Nicky Galasso and Joe LoCascio of the Florida Launch. Going to the Launch in return is a 2017 second round supplemental draft selection and a fourth round collegiate draft pick. Galasso, a midfielder and former player for Syracuse, has been with the Launch since last season. In 2015 he played in three games where he picked up one…

Joe DiMaggio’s famous hitting streak in Major League Baseball was at 56 games. The National Lacrosse League has not been around *quite* as long as MLB, but Adam Jones of the Colorado Mammoth has hit that exact mark. In Colorado’s 14-13 victory over the New England Black Wolves in week ten of this NLL season, Jones scored a goal in his 56th straight NLL contest, dating back to the 2012…
Maybe it’s not a good idea to declare a goal the best of the week before the rest of the games have been played. While Josh Byrne’s goal for Hofstra in the Pride’s loss to Georgetown was incredible, Kyle Jackson from Michigan may have had him beat. Take another look at Kyle Jackson’s overhead BTB from earlier today… @Inside_Lacrosse@[email protected]/qli01BwmFZ — Michigan Lacrosse (@umichlacrosse) March 5, 2016 Michigan faced Vermont yesterday…
This college lacrosse season has been one of upsets. Loyola and High Point defeated Virginia, then Towson beat Loyola. Boston University topped Navy, Hofstra defeated North Carolina, and then Georgetown defeated Hofstra. Duke had been immune thus far, until the Blue Devils faced the 12th ranked Harvard Crimson on Long Island. Ranked fourth in the nation, Duke is led by incredible talent, and though the Crimson have been a strong…
Have you seen this goal yet? ICYMI: Here’s that Josh Byrne goal for @HofstraMLAX…in the running for best of the weekend. #SCtop10pic.twitter.com/327feH2Vi1 — Travis Eldridge (@tgeldrid) March 5, 2016 Now you have. Josh Byrne, in his first season of Division One lacrosse, has lit it up for the Hofstra Pride. Today the Pride lost their first game of the season, 11-6 to Georgetown, but he scored this ridiculous goal. It’s…
