When people talk college lacrosse it’s usually the big universities in division one, Denver, Maryland Notre Dame, etc.  But when Memorial Day weekend hits, there is plenty of action in divisions two and three.  Such was the case today in Philadelphia. The LeMoyne Dolphins (20-0) defeated Limestone Saints (21-1) 8-4 to win their fifth National Championship.  LeMoyne is about 10 minutes from downtown Syracuse, while Limestone is in Gaffney, SC. …

March 11, 2015

The start to the 2015 season has been beyond intense with number 1 falling and an abundance of one goal games in regulation and overtime. This past Tuesday was nothing short of that. North Carolina at one point was down 6-2 against Bryant but climbed their way back to win 10-9. Saint Joseph’s gave Virginia a scare, but the Wahoos squeaked by with their one point victory as well. Fairfield,…

Photo Credit: Ian Neadle Playing lacrosse in the snow is not easy. It is harder to pass, clear, collect ground balls and see the ball as a goalie. Snow leads to a sloppy game and creates parody between unequal teams; that is what we saw in the Loyola-Holy Cross game. Three games had game times changed or were postponed on Saturday: UMBC-Monmouth, Penn State-Villanova, and Georgetown-Towson. I can’t tell you…

With more time than I probably needed, here is a little bit of a different break down of the draft.

With High Point and Delaware kicking off the NCAA division I schedule this week, I thought we should overview some of the more relevant rule changes taking effect this year. Starting this year, all facilities capable of displaying a shot clock will have shot clocks installed to visually count down the 20-second timer-on calls. By 2016, all facilities must have shot clocks installed. Last year the referees counted down the…

It’s that time of year again. The foliage is back, the brisk air sways it’s way in, and fall lacrosse is in action. We are finally starting to get some of our questions answered here in New England. Whether that be the 2015 surprises or who may even drop off the map. Starting in the southern portion of the map, I will keep a close eye here on Yale. The…

September 11, 2014
0 comment

Photo Credit: Ian Neadle Let’s face it, draw rules change. Every. Single. Year. Everything has modified from no clamping, to different stances, down to different procedures. Now, the NCAA is saying that the faceoff midi cannot carry the ball in his stick after a faceoff. Immediately this has attracted controversial reactions for all around. Most saw a rule change coming, but few, I think, saw this happening. A shift in…

Limestone Tops LIU Post 12-6 to Claim D-II Championship Title

The Division II Championship took place at 4pm today in Baltimore, MD. Limestone went head to head against LIUPost in a heated and aggressive match. Though the crowd was bigger for the D-III match earlier today, I personally feel the D-II game was much more intense and dramatic. Both teams were missing basic shots under high defensive pressure. Limestone led the momentum of the game, but LIU Post kept at…
