The Hofstra Pride had a great 2014 season as they went 11-5 and finished the year ranked 13th in the country. After starting the season with two straight losses, the Pride found their groove as a team as they went 10-2 to close out the season. That included two winning streaks of four and six games. The Pride even reached the CAA Final where they lost a heartbreaker to Drexel…
During this past offseason the Virginia Cavaliers released Danseglio (defense) from both the team and the school. He transferred to Maryland. Now, in their final preseason exhibition match, sources are claiming other defenseman Tanner Scales injured his Achilles tendon enough to sit him out the rest of 2015! Scales was going to be the one to step up and take over the command void left by Danseglio. Now that it’s…
The MLL Draft is almost a week old and everyone has had time to give their draft grades as well as their surprises of the draft. With more time than I probably needed, here is a little bit of a different break down of the draft. Some of it is a little look behind the scenes and some of it is actual draft analysis and some of it is just…
The 2015 MLL Supplemental Draft was held December 17 and the Charlotte Hounds selected first overall this year.

With High Point and Delaware kicking off the NCAA division I schedule this week, I thought we should overview some of the more relevant rule changes taking effect this year. Starting this year, all facilities capable of displaying a shot clock will have shot clocks installed to visually count down the 20-second timer-on calls. By 2016, all facilities must have shot clocks installed. Last year the referees counted down the…
Lukas Mikelinich has progressed as a student, athlete and all-around person, much like the Lehigh men’s lacrosse program he’s now leading. Often overlooked, Mikelinich has used a hard-working attitude to become an All-League defenseman and senior co-captain for a Mountain Hawks’ program with high aspirations entering the 2015 season. He embodies the type of attitude, mindset and identity that head coach Kevin Cassese wants in his program. “In high school,…
As the new year hits the University of Massachusetts, the only thing Minutemen fans can look forward to is a new start.
