The Syracuse Orange have very high expectations this year. To get an idea of what these expectations are, their seniors are on the record using the phrase “championship or bust.” Nearly every player that goes to play for the Orange does so knowing that they want to compete for a national championship. The Orange were last in a championship game in 2013 when they lost to Duke and last year…
Photo Credit: LehighValleyLive.com Coming up this Saturday February 7 is the opener for both Lehigh and Marquette. There’s a lot of amplified following behind Lehigh this season, and Marquette still stands as a strong program also. I predict Marquette will be a bit off-beat to start 2015 as they don’t see their home turf until their fourth game of the season. Their first match-ups away are Lehigh, Hofstra and Richmond….
The Panthers proved to stalk their prey first half and attack second half, as they broke away from the Blue Hens in the third quarter of Sunday’s season-opening matchup to win 15-10. Both teams scored the same for the first two quarters: 3 goals in the first and 4 in the second. In the third period, Delaware was only able to find the back of the cage one time compared…
The Hofstra Pride had a great 2014 season as they went 11-5 and finished the year ranked 13th in the country. After starting the season with two straight losses, the Pride found their groove as a team as they went 10-2 to close out the season. That included two winning streaks of four and six games. The Pride even reached the CAA Final where they lost a heartbreaker to Drexel…

Now, in their final preseason exhibition match, sources are claiming other defenseman Tanner Scales injured his Achilles tendon enough to sit him out the rest of 2015! Scales was going to be the one to step up and take over the command void left by Danseglio. Now that it’s…
The MLL Draft is almost a week old and everyone has had time to give their draft grades as well as their surprises of the draft. With more time than I probably needed, here is a little bit of a different break down of the draft. Some of it is a little look behind the scenes and some of it is actual draft analysis and some of it is just…
The 2015 MLL Supplemental Draft was held December 17 and the Charlotte Hounds selected first overall this year. In that powerful position, the Hounds selected Garrett Thul, an attackman who played lacrosse out of Army in college and more recently on Team USA in the 2014 FIL World Games held in Denver. Thul is a monster on the field and has two seasons of MLL experience with the Hamilton Nationals…

His biography on the Denver University roster page is glittering and shining with numerous awards, milestones and honors. His play progresses consistently every year, as reflected in his stats. But we cannot just hold him to…
The UCLA Men’s Lacrosse team is preparing for its 2015 schedule, which includes seven home games and six away games. The Bruins’ 2015 schedule includes many great matchups.
