There was some controversy following the Colorado Mammoth victory over the Vancouver Stealth game on Saturday, in which Adam Jones scored with one second left to win for Colorado, capping off a record six-goal fourth quarter. Before that goal, it had appeared Vancouver may have scored and without any challenges, Colorado could not challenge it. Today, the NLL released a statement about the incident. With 8:03 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Vancouver…
At the time of the demise of the Edmonton Rush, it could have been argued that the relocation of the 2015 NLL champions was the peak of the league’s biggest concerns. Just weeks after the Minnesota Swarm relocated to a small arena in Gwinnett, Georgia, and less than a year after the league’s oldest team, the Philadelphia Wings, located to a casino in Connecticut, now the champs were leaving. Saskatchewan…
The Patriot League is one of the most fascinating to follow in college lacrosse. Not only because of teams like Loyola defeating the likes of Virginia and Johns Hopkins, but because the teams ranked second through fifth in the conference can compete with nearly anyone. Navy, now 2-1 on the season, were one of the biggest dark horse picks before this season to make the national tournament. The Midshipmen proved…

This is what the Boston University Terriers faced on Tuesday afternoon when they had to face their toughest opponents yet in 2016, the High Point Panthers. “I definitely had that game circled on the schedule,” said Sam Tenney, a BU midfielder who transferred from High Point two seasons ago. “I…

James Burr scored three times and Sam Tenney scored twice to lead the Terriers despite a banged up roster going into the game. Leading point getter from last season Cal Dearth and leading goal scorer Ryan Hilburn each did not make the…
Rock Bottom I don’t know how many times I have written about the Toronto Rock this season, but it has been far more often than any other team in the National Lacrosse League. Toronto, now 0-6 following a Valentine’s Day matinee loss at New England, seems to have a new issue every week. Josh Sanderson made his return to an NLL floor when he suited up for the Rock on…
Photo: BostonLax.net The Boston University Terriers are in just their third season of play at the Division I level. They also are almost ready to compete for a Patriot League title, or at least a chance to play in the conference’s tournament. Much of the early success for the young program can be attested to recruiting, and after a 9-5 victory over Providence on Saturday, which opened with a goal…
The Boston Cannons made a splash on Friday afternoon, acquiring Chesapeake Bayhawks goaltender Tyler Fiorito. Cannons starting goalie Jordan Burke retired last week, leaving Boston without any goaltenders with starting experience in Major League Lacrosse. Going back to the Bayhawks is 2016 first round draft pick Greg Coholan, midfielder Tyler German, attack Ryan Young, and the 2017 first round draft pick of the Cannons. The Cannons also added a 2017…
