Drexel faces Fairfield, while Towson travels to face UMass in CAA action this weekend. This past weekend the Drexel Dragons (4-6) traveled about 100 miles south to face the #10 ranked Towson Tigers (9-1). Unfortunately for the Dragons they fell 11-7. For the first three quarters the Dragons looked as if they would pull off the upset of their season. But a six goal run by the Tigers was the…
The Fairfield Stags continue to break the hearts of Seth Tierney and his Hofstra Pride men’s lacrosse team as they defeated the Pride 9-8 in the CAA opener. Hofstra fans can recall last year where it came down to the final game in the regular season to determine if Hofstra would make the CAA tournament or not. Fairfield crushed any hopes of Hofstra making it to the tournament with a…
We are just over halfway through the 2016 campaign so it seems appropriate to check in on some of the 2017 MLL draft prospects. Specifically, I want to look at this years draft-eligible midfield group. Last season, I don’t think it was much of a question that Duke midfielder, Myles Jones, was the best midfielder and would be drafted #1 overall. Is Sergio Perkovic that guy this year? It is still…
Alright, so some conferences have already started their conference schedule. But this weekend, nearly every team that’s playing will have a conference game, including the CAA, which opens up conference play on Saturday. For some teams, it’s a chance to get that top seed in their respective conference tournaments en route to a possible automatic bid. For other teams, the road to the postseason begins now. One loss might be the…

Lehigh enjoyed a strong start on Saturday, taking a 2-1 lead after one…
An intense battle between two of the dominant programs in college lacrosse ended with six ties, overtime, and an epic finale as Virginia bests Johns Hopkins at home. Both teams are no strangers to overtime finishes, as each team finished their prior game in overtime. After Virginia winning the opening possession, Hopkins would be the first to open the scoring. Attackman Wilkins Dismuke would tally first after linemate Shack Stanwick…
In a top ten NAIA lacrosse match-up, #3 Indiana Tech Warriors cruised their way to an important non-conference 16-8 victory over #9 St. Gregory’s Cavaliers.

Indiana Tech got an early jump on the Cavaliers, blasting four straight goals in the first quarter to…
Up until a fourth quarter offensive run by the Pioneers, the match up with Ohio State was a defensive battle the entire way. Jake Withers of Ohio State gave Trevor Baptiste a hard time at the faceoff for the first bit of the game, pulling out scrappy F/O wins that led to the Buckeyes leading the game 2-1 at the end of the first quarter. In a very back and…
