Former Virginia head coach Dom Starsia went from his alma mater at Brown to Virginia and spent 24 years in Charlottesville. Before he left Rhode Island, Starsia coached a young Lars Tiffany and they have been very good friends ever since. When Brown was still in the NCAA Tournament, Starsia went to many Brown practices and games to support his alma mater and Tiffany. And now, Tiffany will follow in…
The Boston Cannons have added former Michigan attackman, Kyle Jackson in this week’s College Waiver Draft. Jackson had a breakout season for the Wolverines this past season scoring 29 goals in just the nine games he played in. He also notched seven assists bringing his points total for 2016 to 36. He missed four games during his senior season due to injury, disallowing him from being included in statistical categories….
Another coaching vacancy is vacant no more. Jacksonville has made two splashes for the upcoming 2017 season, as the Dolphins hired Syracuse greats John Galloway as their head coach and Casey Powell as their offensive coordinator. The former Cuse goaltender comes to the “Sunshine State” after spending four years as an assistant at Providence after spending a year as a volunteer assistant at Duke. The 27-year-old ended his college career…
It looks like Virginia might have their man. As recently reported by Eric Hobeck, and rumored way before, and first from the In Your Face LaxCast (start at the 5:00 mark), Virginia will probably name Kevin Corrigan as their next head coach. It makes sense for the Wahoos to steal Corrigan away from Notre Dame. Corrigan graduated from Virginia back in 1982. He played there for three years, and was…
Championship weekend in Philadelphia was all a lacrosse fan could ask for. Heck, it was all a sports fan could ask for. There were five games played at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The final scores tell a story. Division I Semifinal – North Carolina 18, Loyola 13 Division I Semifinal – Maryland 15, Brown 14 (OT) Division III Championship Game – Salisbury 14, Tufts 13 Division II Championship Game…
Three years ago, the North Carolina women’s lacrosse team ended Maryland’s bid for a perfect season, beating the Terrapins in the 2013 National Championship Game. That game went to triple overtime and was played at Villanova University, just outside of Philadelphia. On Sunday, UNC ended the Terrapins’ 26-game winning streak at Talen Energy Stadium, home of the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer. In the end, the result was the…
If there was ever an NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship game to see, it was this one. Maryland and North Carolina came down to the wire and then some. 1st Quarter Things got off to a hot start for the Tar Heels as they won the first face-off of the game and scored just over a minute into the game thanks to Luke Goldstock, his first of the game. Stephen Kelly…
This game started typical UNC/Maryland. The Tar Heels came out with four goals in the first 4:10, but then the Terps came back with a vengeance. Scoring four of their own with two of them coming from Dylan Maltz. The defense on both sides seemed to be invisible the first quarter as a total of 11 goals were scored. The second quarter seemed to start off the same way with North…
Yesterday Salsbury and Le Moyne took home national championships in division three and division two, respectively. We captured some mages of the teams celebrations and action, all photos by Brian McLoughlin.
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. …
