The Maryland Terrapins ended 2014 with yet another Final Four loss, this time at the hands of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish by a score of 11-6. As they look ahead to 2015 and complete their fall ball season, the team brings back about half of their starters from last year’s team but lose a lot from a defense that ranked third in the nation in goals allowed per game…

The last time these two teams met during the regular season, UNC took down MSU by the score of 22-6. So of course MSU wanted revenge. Over the summer MSU has done some excellent recruiting and it’s paying off. So far this…
It’s that time of year again. The foliage is back, the brisk air sways it’s way in, and fall lacrosse is in action. We are finally starting to get some of our questions answered here in New England. Whether that be the 2015 surprises or who may even drop off the map. Starting in the southern portion of the map, I will keep a close eye here on Yale. The…
Freshmen are coming onto campus more and more expecting to play right away. Gone are the days where development would allow for a year or two before someone could crack into the lineup. A lot of rookies are going to be asked to contribute heavily to guide their teams to the heights of Division I lacrosse. Joel Tinney – Johns Hopkins – Midfield Sure Stanwick has to live up…
Every team has to start somewhere. UMass Lowell will be entering their inaugural year on the Division I level. They will be led by first year coach Ed Stephenson who was the associate head coach at UMBC, University of Maryland Baltimore County. However the closer we get to the fall, the more curious i become with this River Hawks squad. For one, the team is compiled of primarily freshman and…

The Fighting Irish dominated the faceoff circle and scoreboard in the opening quarter of action, jumping out to a seven-goal lead. Matt Kavanagh seeming to have his way, he would go on to score three…

In last year’s scrimmage, the DU Pioneers defeated the Outlaws by the final score of 10-5.

This past weekend I had the priviledge of attending The 8th Annual Nicholas Colleluori Classic. A total of 14 teams participated in the two day event. Some of the top Division 1 Schools attended the event. Syracue, Bellarmine, Binghamton, Monmouth, Hartford and Hofstra highlighted day one. But what seemed to make this extra special this year was the venue of the event. The site, Ridley Senior High School in Folsom,…
New England has become a hot-bed of lacrosse action as of recent. With the addition of the New England Blackwolves and the increasing coverage of the Boston Cannons, it’s safe to say that New England is starting to develop some high-class players. Although there are a list of which to go down, in terms of players to watch for the upcoming season, my list has been condensed to three. Again,…
