James Synowiez scored twice in Baltimore’s win over the Boston Rockhoppers last night. He spoke with us after the game about the first win of the Bombers’ season. “Playing in the first game was really exciting, even though it wasn’t a home stand for our team.” said Synowiez. “The stands were packed and the crowd was really into the game. Both teams were extremely hungry for the win. Big hits…
The Kentucky Stickhorses picked up their first win of the season last night when they defeated the Rhode Island Kingfish at hone, 17-14. Travis Bland led the team with four goals while Mike McClellan picked up three, so both new offensive players contributed the way they were expected. Also scoring was Dave McCarthy who picked up two, and he said he made it simple for himself. “Individually I think what…
As the season approaches these teams have some very good talent. Delware, Drexel, Hofstra, UMass, Penn State, Saint Joesphs, and Towson are the toss up teams in the division. Last season both UMass and Drexel battled for the CAA Championship. As we know, UMass was undefeated, with their stifling defense and their outstanding offense. As Drexel struggled with UMass and lost the game. Questions and concerns for this organization would be more skilled players…
The Vermont Voyageurs defeated the Montreal Phoenix to get to the Quebec Senior Lacrosse League finals, where they will take on the Kahnawake Mohawks. “Kahnawake has a deeper roster with more experience than Montreal has.” said Chad Fairfoull, the coach of the Voyageurs. “Kahnawake also has a very creative style of offence that is more about reading the play and reacting to it. Â Kahnawake will make tou pay for any…
This past Friday night the Voyageurs swept the series against a very tough and competitive team in the Montreal Phoenix. After playing a very difficult first game in Montreal with only 11 runners on a Tuesday night and managing to get away with a 13-12 win, we were back in Essex with a much deeper bench but with a bigger challenge as well. Our coach warned everyone that the swept…

Rogowski scored four of the ten Vermont goals on the night. The Voyageurs also saw scoring…
It is playoff time for the Voyageurs! Last Tuesday was the first game of the best of three semi-final series against the Montreal Phoenix. We knew this one was going to be difficult for a couple of reasons. First of all the Phoenix is a very competitive team that won’t give you an inch. I’ve read many articles this year talking about how much they’ve improved with stronger offense and…
This past weekend was a big one for our team and for the organization as a whole. First of all we hosted the Johnny Mourandian indoor lacrosse clinic on Thursday and Friday at the Essex Skating Facility. Johnny is the GM of the Philadelphia Wings as some of you may know and one of the most passionate lacrosse people I’ve ever met. On Thursday morning I’ve had the chance to…
As I write this its 4am Monday morning and I’m waiting for my flight back to Charlotte, a little early to say the least, but I have to work this morning and it’s not too strange of an occurrence for lacrosse players trying to maximize their chance to play at every opportunity. Especially indoor players, a high level box lacrosse game summertime in Charlotte doesn’t just find you. So myself…
Flowers to my teammates It’s Monday already. I’ve got a pile of work to do, this blog to write and I have one day to recover before heading back to the gym. It’s a good life, especially when we are wining like we’ve been lately. The Voyageurs are 3-0-1 since the last 4 games coming out of a 1-0-1 weekend against the Injuns (Tie 10-10) and the Muskies (Win 17-9)….
