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.
The Chesapeake Bayhawks finish the All Star break on the doorstep of a grueling stretch to make a return to the playoffs. Sitting at .500 currently with a record of 4 wins, 4 losses, the Bayhawks are tied with three teams. They are within one game of another two, so it will be a dogfight until the last weekend. Some of the usual names have come and gone from the…
Pat Young will be transferring out of UMBC and will be joining Maryland University’s lacrosse team for his final college lacrosse season. Since Young’s first days as a Retriever, he has been one of the best players at UMBC and of the top players to watch in the American East Conference and NCAA lacrosse. In just his freshman year in 2013, Young recorded 39 points and was the American East Rookie…

The evening was chilly with scattered rain starting around halftime, but the 6,700-plus fans in attendance walked out of the stadium with warm fuzzies and a home team victory. The Denver Outlaws rode off into the sunset on Sunday evening with a 17-10 victory over the visiting Chesapeake Bayhawks. The Outlaws were boosted by hat tricks from Cam Holding, Chris Bocklet, and John Grant, Jr., and the latter also contributed…
Preseason Poll This has been an incredible year of lacrosse. For me, it is always interesting to look back at the start of the year and compare the results. I started looking back at the polls throughout the year and compare them to the end results. For simplicity’s sake, let’s just look at the Media Poll and leave the USILA Coaches poll out of the conversation. The preseason poll looked…
We’ve finally reached the finish line in the college lacrosse season, as Maryland meets Denver in the Division 1 Championship game Monday at Lincoln Financial Field at 1 PM. Maryland comes in as the #6 seed and has been impressive this season, especially at defense, led by goaltender Kyle Bernlohr, a 1st Team All-American. Denver comes in as the #4 seed and has dominated their opponents for the most…
Being the “Denver” guy means that, naturally, I cover the Outlaws. While my rooting interest should be pretty obvious I find it important to remain as objective as possible. Why mention this at the outset here? Because what follows is probably going to sound like a total homer piece, but I’ll get to the rationale behind these comments in a moment.

Matt Rambo’s Twitter name is “Lion,” and he certainly played like one today, especially in the 4th quarter in an 11-10 win over Johns Hopkins. The sophomore from nearby Glenside and alum of La Salle College High School scored four goals and two assists to lead the Terrapins to their first national championship game since 2012, where they fell to Loyola. Maryland got on the board first with a goal…

Some people may have picked them, but the absence of Goran Murray, the availability of Matt Rambo, and the uncertainty in net were big question marks. Turns out that the defense has been the strength of the Terps all year, which has them against….Johns Hopkins. Oh the Blue Jays, a…
