Boston, Massachusetts – Deemer Class ended 2016 with 49 goals, five coming in today’s contest. Duke would enter in the NCAA Tournament after a 15-8 win over the host Boston University Terriers. Boston University came on strong to begin the contest, taking the first four shots of the game. Duke’s goalie Danny Fowler had to be strong from start and was able to come up with the first save of…
Ah, the Patriot League. Welcome back into the College Lacrosse Weekend Preview Foray my friend. It’s been just under two months since we last talked about you as our main subject. And now, it’s your time to shine again. Usually, there would be a big weekend preview out today, but since I got caught up in binge listening to Prince’s music (RIP), we’re doing something different. Today will be part one…
With so much drama in the ACC, it’s kinda hard getting into the NCAA Tournament scene. But they, somehow, some way, keep coming up with interesting storylines every single day. I’m no Snoop Dogg, but if you use your imagination and tinker the first four lines of Gin And Juice with ACC references, it’s actually a pretty good summary of the conference’s season. Except Notre Dame, who’s sitting comfortably as…
We’re starting the final stretch of the season with under a month until Selection Sunday for the NCAA Tournament. Unlike last year, it’s a very wide open field, with only two ACC teams in the top 15 in RPI. Some early Bracketology projections have Notre Dame and Syracuse in, with some even including Virginia. Except for Notre Dame, the ACC is on the bubble for some spots, with UNC and…
Alright, so some conferences have already started their conference schedule. But this weekend, nearly every team that’s playing will have a conference game, including the CAA, which opens up conference play on Saturday. For some teams, it’s a chance to get that top seed in their respective conference tournaments en route to a possible automatic bid. For other teams, the road to the postseason begins now. One loss might be the…
It’s time for some teams to prove one of two things. Either they’re contenders when May comes around, or they still need some work to do. It’s been about a month since the season got underway, and we’ve seen Towson, Hofstra, and even Rutgers rise into the Top 20, while Duke, Virginia, and Georgetown have been disappointments thus far. But is this the biggest weekend of the season? Sure there’s been…
Photo: Jim Pierce Anytime a team is without its two leading scorers from the previous season it can become problematic. 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…
Photo: Reegan Ludd The Boston University Terriers defeated the High Point Panthers 13-10 on Tuesday afternoon to start their season 3-0 for the first time in program history. 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…
Weekday lacrosse games aren’t the most exciting on paper, but can provide some good excitement if you tune in to some of these games. And it’s rare that there’s a top five matchup on a weekday. The highlight of the work week comes from Division III, where a top five matchup will take place Wednesday in Maryland, with No. 2 Lynchburg taking on No. 5 Salisbury. This game was originally…
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…
