The Tewaaraton Trophy is awarded annually to the most outstanding male and female college lacrosse players in the country. Since 2001, the year of the trophy’s inception, just two players from a non-blue blood school have ever won the award. In its 13 years of existence, just seven schools have been represented:…

Game Notes: What We Can Take Away From D-I Championship

Setting Following a lacrosse season that competed the majority of the 2014 season in winter elements, the field at M&T Bank Stadium was somewhere between 95 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit real-feel temperature. An occasional breeze was noticeable but most likely not to the players moving on the field in equipment. As every year, semifinals games are a mere two days before the championship. This gives the two winning teams a…

Carey: Myles Jones, Jordan Wolf Led Devils

What a game it was. It was all it was hyped up to be. The machine that is the Duke Blue Devils against the team from “out west,” but really from up north in Indiana.

Everything either of these teams have worked for over this past season comes down to this game. This is the NCAA D-I Championship, one of the most recognized lacrosse events in the United States. The stage is set for a 2010 rematch between these two teams but everything is different now. For Duke, Myles Jones was not around in 2010. He has become a reliable power house of ability and…

Game Notes: Pioneers Could Have Beaten Duke

The final score of yesterday’s bout was 15-12 in Duke’s favor. It was not until there were less than three minutes remaining in the game that they were able to play toss-the-ball-don’t-stall. For that reason, amongst many others, I feel Denver could have and should have won. Duke and Denver went back and forth all day while still controlling some possessions and producing quality offensive opportunities for both teams. The…

Notre Dame Faces 2010 Rematch with Duke

Coach Kevin Corrigan and the Notre Dame team are familiar with playing on someone else’s home turf in front of a hostile crowd. “You know what, we were up at Hofstra last week and I think there were 37 people cheering for us in a sellout crowd of 13,000.
