Merry delayed Christmas everyone, it’s been awhile since my last post and I’ve got a lot to cover this week. With only a couple of weeks left before the kick off to the season I wanted to take a look at who, when, and where this season big games are. First off some of you are probably wondering why a number of teams only have half a schedule list on…
UCLA Men’s Lacrosse Head Coach Jacques Bagley is excited to announce the official schedule of the 6th Annual PAC-12 Lacrosse Shootout. The 2013 Shootout returns to Los Angeles this February featuring some of the top teams out West. “We have 11 of the PAC-12 teams attending in 2013, our biggest field yet,” noted Bagley. “We welcome the PAC-12 and the lacrosse community to UCLA to see some of the best…
The Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference is considered the third best conference behind the UMLL and the CCLA. It has great programs like Westminster, Montana St., and Northern Colorado. In the last few years the conference has taken a back burner in the D2 level, mainly because of its D1 level that has won a number of championships and had countless teams in the top 20. They also have become more…
With the MCLA Executive board having met this last weekend in Dallas, TX and one of the big topics was the restructuring proposal. The proposal is headed up by Gary Podesta, former head coach at UC Santa Clara and Chair of the Competition Committee. This proposal, which I have come to call the Podesta Proposal, has a nice ring to it don’t ya think, mainly deals with separating the current…
This conference has some outstanding schools that will put fear in opponents. Here are the schools; Georgetown, Notre Dame, Providence, Rutgers, St. Johns, Syracuse, and Villanova. Notre Dame was the Big East Champions. Notre Dame has an aggressive attack style. They play fast and up tempo. If you are not aggressive bumping them out their defense strategy, they will hurt you. The way you can stop them is slowing up their attack.Score first, so you…
Ok over last few weeks we’ve had a lot of action with the Big10 and new teams coming into it. For most of us we see the teams that moved and say that all they want is the money that the Big10 network rakes in every year. A ton of people have weighed in on this whole subject and most are saying that they hate the idea of Maryland and…

The Redmen were crowned CUFLA champions for the first time in program history as they defeated the Western Mustangs in a thrilling 7-6 overtime battle. The weekend was full of emotion and excitement as McGill knocked off the Guelph Gryphons in another overtime win, this time by a score…
As the season approaches these teams have some very good talent. Delware, Drexel, Hofstra, UMass, Penn State, Saint Joesphs, and Towson are the toss up teams in the division. Last season both UMass and Drexel battled for the CAA Championship. As we know, UMass was undefeated, with their stifling defense and their outstanding offense. As Drexel struggled with UMass and lost the game. Questions and concerns for this organization would be more skilled players…
The Liberty Flames are one of the newest teams in the MCLA. The Flames hail from Lynchburg, Virginia and in only three years have become a force to be reckoned with in the SELC. The Flames last year went 7-2, only losing to SCAD and Elon. The Flames finished their season with a rematch against Elon in SELC semi- finals, Elon went on to win the SELC later in the…
