Regional coverage of the Baltimore Bombers, Chesapeake Bayhawks, Baltimore Indoor Lacrosse League, and college teams like the Maryland Terrapins, UMBC Retrievers. Johns Hopkins Blue Jays, and Towson Tigers.
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. The Terps looked as good as they had at any point this season early on against the top-ranked team in the country. Virginia used a 5-1…
“This was their game, not my game and they just wanted to take this win,” Frostburg State head coach Steve Gartelman said after the Bobcats knocked off defending the Division II National Champion University of Tampa Saturday 14-12. Gartelman stood in between the pipes at Limestone (then College, now University) as the starting goalie for JB Clarke in Clarke’s first two years as head coach at Limestone, where he won…
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 PLL returned to Homewood Field in Baltimore this past weekend and fans filled the seats to watch some week 4 lacrosse action. The opening game featured the Redwoods against the Whipsnakes in a Friday night showdown. The ever-potent Whipsnakes slithered away with a 12-11 win as they wowed the crowd. 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…
Cannons Lacrosse Club struggled against Atlas LC on Sunday afternoon at Homewood Field, losing 18-17 despite a valiant effort from Lyle Thompson at the buzzer. Thompson went for a 2-pointer, which would have given the Cannons the win, but he was tackled onto the field by Michael Rexrode. Most surprising in the game was that Thompson was held to two assists. A goalless game has only happened one other time…
Kyle Harrison’s last game at Homewood Field ended in an 11-9 loss to Chaos, but with his family in attendance for post-game hugs, it wasn’t all bad. The veteran forward will retire after this PLL season, so it was a special game. But, the Redwoods fall to 2-2 on the season, and the Chaos, troublemakers in last year’s playoffs, picked up their first win. It was a tightly contested first…
What a game for Adam Ghitelman. The Archers’ goaltender not only stopped nine shots in the team’s 17-8 win over Waterdogs LC on Saturday night, he added an assist and a two-point goal. And he did both in style. Midway through the second quarter with Archers up 7-3, Ghitelman scooped up a loose ball near his crease and ran 65 yards downfield, making it to the Waterdogs’ arc before passing…
Matt Rambo did what Matt Rambo is used to doing in the Premier Lacrosse League – winning in overtime. The Whipsnakes’ forward ended Atlas’ quest to stop the defending champions’ win streak when he scored in OT for the 12-11 Whipsnakes win on Friday night. The Whips’ streak is now at 11. The powerhouse club remains unbeaten this season. In fact, the Whipsnakes last lost in 2019. Atlas head coach Ben…
One of the joys of working in lacrosse is making the acquaintance of some great people. I have greatly looked forward to the next guest in our Florida Lacrosse series since he took over as the head coach of the Florida Launch. Tom Mariano has worn many hats since his playing days at Nazareth, when he was on the 1992 Division III National Championship team. He is currently the Assistant…
