This Saturday, Yale will take on Fairfield on the road for their third regular season game. For Yale, a win would continue their undefeated opening to the season, while for Fairfield a win would place them above .500 on the season for the first time since Week 3. Comparing 2014 statistics is difficult at this time because Fairfield has played twice as many games as Yale. Currently, the Bulldogs are…
WHO: Syracuse and St. Johns WHERE: Kennesaw, GA WHAT: Cobb County Lacrosse Classic WHEN: Saturday, March 8 @ 4 pm SYRACUSE Woof. What a rough road it’s been. Despite stellar performances on offense and the same defense as previous seasons, the Orange’s shortcomings all come down to one factor: realignment. In 2015, NCAA lacrosse divisions and conferences are being reorganized to better reflect other sports in the league and…
WHERE: @ Loyola WHEN: Sunday March, 9 @ 6:00 Duke returns to the state of Maryland this Sunday as it tries to avoid its second straight loss. Loyola will look to hand Duke another loss and extend its four game winning streak when the two face off on Loyola’s campus. It is also a rematch of last season’s NCAA first round game where Duke upset the Greyhounds on their way…
With five games inside the top 20, I’m in a NY State of mind for this week’s preview. #1 Maryland @ Stony Brook—Interesting matchup as Maryland travels to Stony Brook’s LaValle stadium. The Seawolves are coming off an inspiring 12-9 win over Rutgers, while the Terps defeated Duke 10-6 at Byrd Stadium last week. Look for this game to be settled at the faceoff with Charlie Raffa having the edge…
WHERE: @ Princeton WHEN: Friday March, 7 @ 5:30 For the second week in a row, Princeton will be the site of another high profile matchup on Friday. North Carolina comes off a startling overtime defeat to Notre Dame while Princeton got served a nice dish of humility by Johns Hopkins. Both teams entered the season with high hopes that had fans of both schools thinking Final Four or better….
WHERE: @ UMBC WHEN: Saturday March, 8 @ 12:00 Johns Hopkins sure has dispelled any notion that they will not make the tournament this season. Wins over Ohio State, Princeton and Towson have solified their expectations of an NCAA Tournament bid. They enter Saturday’s game undefeated and will take on a UMBC team who has beaten up on two first year programs in Monmouth and Richmond after getting blown out…
The 10th ranked University of Massachusetts Minutemen and the 17th ranked University of Albany Great Danes, go head-to-head this weekend at Garber Field. University of Massachusetts is climbing up the NCAA Division I rankings, with their impressive play and 4-0 record. Nick Mariano is leading UMass in points with 15, on 14 goals and 1 assist. His talent at the Attack position has surged the Minutemen offense. The Great Danes…
We have a new top team in the land. Maryland is the new number one team with Virginia seizing the second spot while Syracuse continues to tumble. Penn also earned another early season win over a top 10 program in Denver. 1 Maryland (4-0)—It was a good day for Turtle Nation. Mike Chanenchuk put on another clinic tying his career high with five goals, the defense was aggressive, led by…
Tewaaraton Trophy Watch List Last week the Tewaaraton Foundation posted its list of the top 50 players in NCAA men’s lacrosse. While a very early release, the committee left off a few notable names. Although Virginia had four players included on the list, one player was conspicuously left off: James Pannell. One would think after awarding the Trophy to James’ brother Rob, the Foundation would remember the Pannell name. All…
The 15th ranked Cornell Big Red (3-0) hosts #44 Canisius (2-1) tomorrow at Schoellkopf Field. The Golden Griffins lost at #5 Denver last weekend while Cornell squeaked by #39 Michigan in OT to move up in the standings from last week’s rank of 19th. This is Cornell’s last game against competition outside of the Top 25 before facing top 5 Virginia and top 20 Yale. That being said, this is a…
