These two teams have a mirror image of each other They like to attack the net and have two similar offensive strategies.

Last season, High Point were scorn with key injuries. Injuries was a huge difference maker with this team. High…
With the MLL draft tomorrow night I’ve decided to look at the chance of an MCLA player getting drafted. With Connor Martin (Chapman ’10) being the only field player in the MLL from the MCLA, I think the chances of having an MCLA player drafted this year may be a long shot. I’m not knocking the players in the MCLA right now, I’m knocking the MLL really. What I mean…
There have been questions concerning this conference. Lacrosse has been out shadowed by basketball. Basketball has been this conference’s “bread and butter.” Lacrosse has been a new sport in recent years for these schools. I believe if all of these schools agree on a solution, lacrosse would grow into a sport that many would like. As the sky changes, so does the decisions that these schools will make. Since the departure of Rutgers,…

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…
