The Powerhouse Conference Championship was nothing short of spectacular, and anyone who attended or viewed the event got their expectations blown out of the water. Syracuse came into the game No. 4, while Notre Dame sat No. 9. Randy Staats was on fire for the Orange, scoring five goals and maintaining an intimidating offensive presence all game. Kevin Rice, Hakeen Lecky, Dylan Donahue, Scott Loy, Billy Ward, Nicky Galasso and…
Even though they will not see Colonial Athletic Association post-season action, Penn State University, used its last CAA rival matchup with a vengeance defeating number 12 Hofstra 8-7 in University Park. With the loss, Hofstra, the number one seed in the CAA, drops to 10-4 overall and breaks its perfect record in the CAA to 4-1. The win allowed Penn State to improve to 7-6 on the year, 3-2 in…
Just a short month ago, Syracuse sat at 4-3 overall and 0-3 in the ACC. Their scoring margin was -6 but that reasonable statistic does not show the magnitude of the 16-8 loss to Maryland, 17-12 loss to Virginia and 21-7 loss to Duke. I’ve watched a lot of lacrosse in my life and I can definitively say that Maryland-SU and Duke-SU games easily top my list of the two…

Friday Night Lights Kicks off an action packed Weekend of College and Pro Action Patriot League Playoffs Army vs. Lehigh I like Lehigh in this matchup between two very well coached teams. Lehigh is balanced on offense and has strong goaltending with junior Matt Poillion. My prediction is Lehigh by three. Loyola vs. Colgate I made the mistake of not picking Loyola in the regular season matchup. I’m not going…
With over 60 players named to the Tewaaraton Watch List throughout the season, the award is not lacking from a great group of talent across the lacrosse world. However, it seems to be that there is no clear cut Tewaaraton favorite this season. Lyle Thompson and Tom Schreiber may be putting up the points but their teams are likely to not even make the postseason. So does that mean that…
Baltimore, Maryland–Hopkins completed a stretch of four games in 11 days to upend the Villanova Wildcats at Homewood Field. In the seventh all-time meeting between the two schools, the Blue Jays turned an 8-7 lead into a 13-7 win. Villanova started the game with three of the first four goals and looked to be in control early. Johnny Gallaway opened the scoring in the first minute of the game, with…
After clinching the number one seed in the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament with an 11-6 victory over the University of Massachusetts, number 12 Hofstra will finish out regular season play against Penn State University this Saturday. Looking at the numbers for the matchup, Hofstra has scored 9.85 goals per game while Penn State has scored 10.50 gpg. Hofstra’s scoring defense is ranked 12th in the nation (8.46 gpg) and Penn…
See where your favorite teams stand heading into the postseason: 1) Duke (12-2)—The Blue Devils will take on Syracuse for the third time in less than a year. Wonder how these new rivals will treat each other going forward. Brendan Fowler could be in for a fight as Frank Daddio and the Orange faceoff unit have played at a high level since the ‘Syracuse Slaughter’ a month ago. 2) Loyola…
