May 29, 2014

Lacrosse continues to grow from east to west, meaning younger programs pop up the further west one goes in the US. Mostly MCLA and NCLL competition other than the Denver Pioneers. Let’s take a glance at the season-ending records of the ACC teams: Maryland 13-4 Duke   17-3…

Game Notes: What We Can Take Away From D-I Championship

Setting Following a lacrosse season that competed the majority of the 2014 season in winter elements, the field at M&T Bank Stadium was somewhere between 95 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit real-feel temperature.

This gives the two winning teams a…

Maryland jumped out to a 5-0 lead less than five minutes into Sunday night’s National Championship Game and it looked like the Terrapins would run away with the title. Lacrosse is a game of runs, so that thought was quickly dispelled by the Syracuse Orange. Syracuse answered with the next four goals to pull right back into the game. The Terrapins went on a 6-1 second-half run to take a…

Game Notes: Pioneers Could Have Beaten Duke

The final score of yesterday’s bout was 15-12 in Duke’s favor. It was not until there were less than three minutes remaining in the game that they were able to play toss-the-ball-don’t-stall.
