After a chain of ripple effects caused by transitioning college coaches, Duke University Men’s lacrosse hired Ben DeLuca today as the volunteer assistant coach for the 2014 season. For those who don’t remember, DeLuca was the head coach at Cornell University, where he is coming off a 2013 season of 14-4 and a 6-0 Ivy League title. In the fall, Cornell fired him after incidences of team hazing were reported…
A busy slate of games starts the unofficial opening weekend of the 2014 season. It’s the unofficial opening weekend, because while you were on the checkout isle buying guacamole for the Super Bowl last Saturday, Delaware defeated High Point 10-3 and Lehigh beat Furman 13-6 to start the 2014 season. My game of the weekend will be on TV Sunday on ESPNU, as Johns Hopkins attempts to rebound from not making the…
Pitt is one of the top competitors in the MCLA Division 1. With a 2013 record overall of 11-7, the Panthers were ranked No. 25 in the MCLA preseason coaches’ poll.

WHERE: @ Bucknell WHEN: Saturday February, 8 @ 5:00 Delaware had the unique opportunity to get their feet wet this season by opening with a 10-3 victory of High Point last weekend in one of only two lacrosse games to be played.

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…
Next up: Teams from the Centennial and ODAC, of course.
