This morning began what for most of the team is the second week of training camp. This is going to be the first weekend with just the full team as last week featured several free agents trying for spots. Nearly all players were in attendance for the morning session, with less than a handful missing, but they should be set to go for the evening and Sunday practices. The Black…

Providence Scrimmages to White Team Victory
On Friday, November, 7th, Providence College held an intra-squad scrimmage to give their players some live action as the fall calendar winds down. Rather than a typical scrimmage of likely starters vs. everyone else, the squad was split into two groups (black and white) that were established earlier in the fall, making the competition between teams much more balanced. This afforded us the chance to see plenty of players and…

We reached out to Adrenaline, who is the force behind LXM to see what their…
Prospecting 2014: Top NLL Transition Players
Transition is an interesting position in the NLL. Every team approaches it differently as some make them glorified defenders or just forwards that won’t get yelled at if they are stuck in the back end of the floor. Others such as Minnesota and Buffalo make them a large part of how they want to act as a team by causing turnovers, pushing the ball up the floor and creating mismatches…
Syracuse Looking at Goaltender Options for 2015
Being a lacrosse goalie requires a number of very specialized skills that few master. The ideal player can command the defense, throw accurate 40 yard breakout passes, defend out of the cage when needed, and of course stop every type of shot thrown at them. Because of this level of specialization, most programs are never able to find someone who can do all those things at a truly elite level. Coaches frequently…
