As Villa Julie College changed its name to Stevenson University, this rivalry has been an epic clash of titans in Division III lacrosse. As Stevenson Coach Paul Cantabene had always proclaimed, “we want what they have.” Born was a rivalry that has been a treat for fans to watch ever since, even though both coaches downplay the game as a “rivalry.” Both these teams offer excitement all over the…
Syracuse, New York – Syracuse University overcame an early and late deficit to advance the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament with an overtime win against North Carolina.

Baltimore, Maryland – On a beautiful day for Hopkins to host their 2014 Homecoming, the Blue Jays defense held Maryland to six goals in their 11-6 win. Long possessions that ended with timely goals also helped Hopkins grind the Maryland offense. Maryland is preparing for the ACC Tournament while Hopkins is preparing for three more games in eleven days. The pace of the game ran fast with both teams…
Chesapeake held its first pre season camp this weekend in Annapolis. Even though it was a little chilly, the team was having fun and spirited first workout.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_of_March #3 Johns Hopkins vs #10 Syracuse I like ‘Cuse to defeat Johns Hopkins in this contest. While the Orange has struggled on faceoffs, they are still an elite program that is still working out its lineup. Each week this team continue to improve and on Saturday, Randy Staats, Dylan Donohue and Kevin Rice will give the Hopkins defense fits. I’m calling for a big day for the Orange vs….
With five games inside the top 20, I’m in a NY State of mind for this week’s preview. #1 Maryland @ Stony Brook—Interesting matchup as Maryland travels to Stony Brook’s LaValle stadium. The Seawolves are coming off an inspiring 12-9 win over Rutgers, while the Terps defeated Duke 10-6 at Byrd Stadium last week. Look for this game to be settled at the faceoff with Charlie Raffa having the edge…
Behind Chris Hughes four goals and Kyle Rowe’s 16 for 24 faceoff performance, the Stony Brook Seawolves defeated Rutgers 12-9 at a cold LaValle Stadium on Saturday Night.

(It’s more than just the FOGO Kyle Rowe) had a very strong game, with Long Stick Dylan Curry and SSDM Lucas Rock boxing out Rutgers wing players, for…
