Division 1 Men’s Championship Memorial Day Monday was a good day to wear red as both teams playing in the Division I championship use red in their logos. Red, the color of fire and passion. The color of blood. The color of the winning Cornell University with their decisive 13-10 victory over Maryland. This fiery matchup was the first time 1 and 2 seeded teams played against each other in…
Most of this NLL season has been a battle for the Toronto Rock. They returned to Paramount Fine Foods Centre in Mississauga on Saturday night looking for their fourth straight win. Their opponents, the San Diego Seals, opened the scoring and led until the Rock fought for a fourth quarter, five goal run. However, a late pair sealed the 11-10 victory – San Diego’s first ever against Toronto, and the…

Chaos 14 Redwoods 12 Lacrosse is a game of runs. That was certainly true of the Chaos-Redwoods match up on Sunday. In the end, Chaos (4-3) reigned as they chopped down the Redwoods (3-4) with a 14-12 victory that was pretty much decided on 2-point goals. Those blistering 2-point goals came from in the third and fourth quarters. They were, arguably, the difference makers in the game. Ian MacKay snuck…
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – Daniel Kelly’s step-down shot fired past Matthew Nunes in the cage for the UVA Cavaliers, and the No. 4 Maryland Terrapins stormed Klockner Stadium as they defeated the previously unbeaten No. 1 Virginia 14-13 in an overtime thriller on March 18.

Women’s field lacrosse is a hell of a sport, and it doesn’t get the coverage it deserves from us. I hope to rectify that someday with more staff and resources. Women’s field is a vastly different sport from the men’s game, with its own rules and nuances, and should be appreciated as such. The athletes are strong, talented and inspiring and I encourage you to check out a game near…

The game was closely matched in the first half with the Redwoods leading with six goals to the five scored…
It was a bad day to be a Whipsnake. Chrome Lacrosse Club picked up their first win of the season on Sunday with a decisive 16-6 victory over the defending champions. Either way, a streak was going to end in this one. The Whipsnakes were working on a win streak dating back to 2019, and Chrome had yet to win a game this season. Zed Williams, injured on Friday, did not…
