Who: Albany @ Penn State When: Saturday, March 22, 2014 Where: University Park, PA. PSU is gearing up for another outdoor home game this weekend in Happy Valley. After defeating Dartmouth 10-6 on Saturday, they’re hoping to channel that momentum into this weekend’s match. The Lions started this match a bit shaky, but were able to get into a great flow during the second half of the match. Sanders…
It’s March Madness, so everyone will be watching college basketball for the next month. In the past few days since the bracket was announced we have seen brackets made up saying “what if it were college football teams?” which is an interesting exercise. But what if it was lacrosse teams? This is tougher because most of the teams on this bracket would be in the MCLA, which at times is…
1) Maryland (7-0)—The Terps survived Villanova’s second half push to remain undefeated. With five games to go before the ACC Tournament, Maryland faces North Carolina, Virginia, Robert Morris, Johns Hopkins and Notre Dame—do not be shocked if Maryland suffers their first loss. They have looked good but each week teams are inching closer to nipping them off. Something tells me the offense is due for a bad week. 2) Loyola…
WHERE: @ Georgetown WHEN: Wednesday March 19 @ 6:00 Loyola is one of, if not the hottest team in the country right now. After losing their season opener by one goal in overtime to Virginia, the Hounds have won six straight games, four of which have come against ranked teams. If the defense hadn’t collapsed worse than the Titanic in open ocean waters, the Hound would be 7-0 right now…
For the second year in a row, No. 17 Hofstra saw its four-game winning streak snapped by St. John’s in an 11-10 overtime loss. With the loss Hofstra drops to 4-3 overall on the season while St. John’s moves to 4-2. “It leaves a bad taste in our mouth,” Hofstra Head Coach Seth Tierney said about the loss. “I thought we had opportunities to win.” Hofstra was led in scoring…
WHO: #4 Cornell @ University of Penn WHERE: Adams Field (Penn Park), Philadelphia, PA WHEN: Saturday, March 22, 1:00 pm EST UPENN My personal surprise of the season. Always a consistent team with pretty tough schedules, UPenn is really drawing attention this season. They come into this game 3-2 and off a close loss to #16 Princeton. The battle against the Tigers was high octane as UPenn recorded 45…
No poll is perfect and to believe that any body of voters could accurately rank every team in the country is foolish. But this week’s edition of the USILA Top 20 has inspired doubt in me because of the way its voters have treated the No. 5 Stevenson Mustangs in the wake of their loss to top-ranked RIT. It’s just wrong. The Mustangs have done nothing but lose to the…
Inconsistent Albany If you can figure out what is going on with the Albany Great Danes, feel free to let me know. They play Syracuse into overtime, drop a dud against Drexel, have a good win against Harvard, stomp all over UMass, and then they follow that win up with a loss to Bryant. This Albany team seems like it is all over the place and simply not focused. In…
This week’s USILA Top 20 has seen some upheaval thanks to RIT’s win over Cortland in its second No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup of the season. The Tigers remain No. 1 in the country after beating the Red Dragons and Western New England this week while Cortland slides all the way down to No. 6. Taking their place in the top pairing are the Seagulls of Salisbury who improved…
Number 17 Hofstra will put its Colonial Athletic Association schedule on hold for a non-conference matchup against the St. John’s Red Storm this Tuesday in Queens, New York. Taking a look at the numbers for both teams so far this season, Hofstra (4-2, 1-0 CAA) has a 9.07 gpg average while St. John’s (3-3, 1-0 BIG EAST) has scored 11.54 gpg and is ranked 23rd in the nation in scoring offense….
