WHERE: @ Georgetown WHEN: Wednesday March 19 @ 6:00 Loyola is one of, if not the hottest team in the country right now. After losing their season opener by one goal in overtime to Virginia, the Hounds have won six straight games, four of which have come against ranked teams. If the defense hadn’t collapsed worse than the Titanic in open ocean waters, the Hound would be 7-0 right now…
For the second year in a row, No. 17 Hofstra saw its four-game winning streak snapped by St. John’s in an 11-10 overtime loss. With the loss Hofstra drops to 4-3 overall on the season while St. John’s moves to 4-2. “It leaves a bad taste in our mouth,” Hofstra Head Coach Seth Tierney said about the loss. “I thought we had opportunities to win.” Hofstra was led in scoring…
WHO: #4 Cornell @ University of Penn WHERE: Adams Field (Penn Park), Philadelphia, PA WHEN: Saturday, March 22, 1:00 pm EST UPENN My personal surprise of the season. Always a consistent team with pretty tough schedules, UPenn is really drawing attention this season. They come into this game 3-2 and off a close loss to #16 Princeton. The battle against the Tigers was high octane as UPenn recorded 45…
Inconsistent Albany If you can figure out what is going on with the Albany Great Danes, feel free to let me know. They play Syracuse into overtime, drop a dud against Drexel, have a good win against Harvard, stomp all over UMass, and then they follow that win up with a loss to Bryant. This Albany team seems like it is all over the place and simply not focused. In…
Number 17 Hofstra will put its Colonial Athletic Association schedule on hold for a non-conference matchup against the St. John’s Red Storm this Tuesday in Queens, New York. Taking a look at the numbers for both teams so far this season, Hofstra (4-2, 1-0 CAA) has a 9.07 gpg average while St. John’s (3-3, 1-0 BIG EAST) has scored 11.54 gpg and is ranked 23rd in the nation in scoring offense….
The Nittany Lions will host Dartmouth on Tuesday night, hoping to redeem themselves after a tough loss to No.14 UMass on Saturday. Dartmouth has not had a game since March 1st, when they came out with a win over Sacred Heart. Last match, the score was tied in the middle of the fourth. Senior Attackman, Mike Olentine scored the eventual game winning goal, after a huge rally by Dartmouth. Freshman…
This weekend was about as close in performance NCAA games have been thus far in 2014. I don’t mean scores… I speak of statistics and in-game situations. Many games this weekend were neck and neck until teams took advantage of opportune situations. Virginia – 9 Notre Dame – 18 The Fighting Irish came out with a very mobile and inclusive offense full of assists, offensive rotation and off-ball movement. They…
Senior co-captain Torin Varn scored a career-high three goals while fellow seniors Drew Coholan and Lance Yapor netted two goals and one assist to help Hofstra earn an 11-9 victory over the Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens in game one of the Colonial Athletic Association slate. The win for the Hofstra Pride (4-2, 1-0 CAA) was their fourth straight and ended Delaware’s season high four-game win streak. The Fightin’ Blue…
Baltimore, Maryland – Syracuse University used to three goal runs in the first half to beat the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays at Homewood Field on a beautiful afternoon in Baltimore. A packed house saw a great game by both teams, but in the end the Orange held on for a two-goal win. The scoring started with Ryan Brown scoring on the Jays opening possession. Syracuse defense held strong for…
Big ECAC match up today pits heavy weights OSU (1-4) against the Denver Pioneers (5-2). Just based on the win loss column, I’m giving the Pioneers the edge. Conference play is tricky and you can usually throw everyone’s records out the window, but the Pioneers look strong this year. With top flight wins. King will get his goals, but believe OSU will have serious trouble with the balanced offense of…
