This past season was one of incredible highs and equal lows around Homewood Field. The Blue Jays were within a goal, or two, from returning to the championship game at Lincoln Financial in Philadelphia. Some familiar faces will return for the Jays, but there are holes that need to be filled as they look forward to the 2016 season. Offensively, Hopkins is in prime position to be able to gun…

The Western Mustangs have established themselves as a defensive powerhouse for a half decade. Since 2009, the Mustangs have led the West Division in goals against average, while owning the best GAA in all of CUFLA lacrosse in four of those seasons. Despite a major turnover on the back end, which includes the graduation of All Canadians Matt Spanger and Zach Grade, coach Mike Frith ensures that Western’s “defense first”…

Part of the reason why people love sports is its unpredictability. A team expected to go to a championship game may be upset by a team that snuck into the playoffs during the last week. Conversely, a team that is expected to do terribly in the upcomign season could exceed expectations due to a number of factors. With that in mind, In Lacrosse We Trust is identifying this year’s NCAA…

For the better part of four months, many of us watched some exciting college lacrosse, whether it was on TV, online, or in person.

I take a look back at all 69 Division I teams and how they fared this season and what…

As the final seconds ticked off the clock in the 2014 Baggataway Cup final, Head Coach of the McGill Redmen Tim Murdoch could only think to himself, “Why didn’t we play like we did in the final 10 minutes for the entire game?” In those final eight minutes, the Redmen scored seven unanswered goals to close an 11 goal gap, but unfortunately for McGill it wouldn’t be enough as the…

For the first time in program history, the Brock Badgers had a senior class graduate without ever hoisting Baggataway Cup. For most programs, that five year drought may not seem like a big deal, but for the Badgers, it’s an epidemic. Coach Justin Kennedy isn’t ignoring the fact the championship dryspell has taken a toll mentally on the players, but he still has great faith in his team. “The pressure…
