WHERE: @ Colgate WHEN: Saturday February, 8 @ 1:00 Colgate and Bryant have created a nice little rivalry over the past few years. While this rivalry technically hasn’t been long at all, having lasted only two years, it has become a very exciting matchup. In the first matchup, Bryant beat Colgate 10-8 in 2012 and then Colgate got revenge the next season by beating Bryant 14-13 in overtime. Therefore, when…
As a hockey player, I love the cold weather. Whenever the twenty degree weather and snow hit the homeland, my fellow Long Islanders look at me with the evil eye. To be fair, I agree, there is not much that can be done during this weather. Other than hitting the outdoor ice, building snow forts and shoveling, it is probably not wise to do anything when you are exposed to…
Denver Pioneers @ Air Force Sat. Feb. 8 1:00 pm Two Colorado schools will go head-to-head this coming Saturday for a season opening showdown: Air Force and Denver U. Both teams have young programs in comparison to other colleges and both have taken off at monumental rates of success. Air Force will host the game at their field. Coach Eric Seremet said, “With such an experienced, senior-led team this year,…
Loyola @ Virginia Game Time: 7:00 pm Date: February 6, 2014 Location: Charlottesville, Va 2013 Teams change and great players graduate, leaving behind an empty spot for someone to fill. Loyola and Virginia both have shoes to fill. Virginia is coming off one of their more disappointing seasons after a long run as one of the top teams in NCAA men’s lacrosse. They started off strong going 5-1 in the…
Elon and Duke Women’s lacrosse are both practicing hard for this Friday’s match at Elon. The tension between the two in-state rivals is high; especially considering Duke’s former associate head coach, Josh Hexter, left the team for a head coaching position at Elon in 2012. This will be one of the first games that both teams play this season, and they are both ready to put up a fight. The…
Alex Urquhart With the NCAA season starting right around the corner we take a look at two teams, the University of Virginia and the University of Michigan. The Virginia Cavaliers made it to the ACC finals last year but missed out on making it to the NCAA Tournament. The Michigan Wolverines, in their second season, went 1-13, but looked immensely better from their first season in 2012. The Cavs have…
STONY BROOK (NR) 2013 Record: 7-9 The Skinny It should be an exciting year for Stony Brook. Jim Nagle’s team returns mostly intact with a young, experienced core ready to make a move on the national scene. While questions exist in the backfield, the team’s offense will push them towards the top of the America East. Stony Brook nearly knocked off Albany in last year’s conference tournament, but just fell…
HOFSTRA (#24) 2013 Record: 7-7 The Skinny Hofstra got off to a strong start in 2013 winning five of their opening six games, including an impressive road win over No. 2 Notre Dame. However, the Pride dropped four one-goal affairs and only won two of their final eight games to drop out of postseason contention. Focusing on the little things will be the biggest challenge for Seth Tierney and his…
**Photo Credit: The Daily Collegian** The college lacrosse season has yet to start, but the UMass and Harvard teams are already making headlines. For UMass, this means being included in the preseason Top-20 polls, done annually before the start of the season. The polls, an Inside Lacrosse Media and United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Coaches Polls, both included votes for the Minutemen squad. These polls are of course just estimates…
The Princeton Tigers are looking to improve on their 9-6 season starting with their home opener on February 22nd at 1 PM when they host Hofstra. Last season, the Tigers advanced to the IVY League Tournament Championship game but fell to the Yale Bulldogs 12-8 on May 5th. The Tigers will rely heavily on the MLL’s #1 overall pick in the 2014 Collegiate Draft; midfielder Tom Schreiber who led the…
