BOSTON (June 2, 2014) – Major League Lacrosse, the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, announced Week 5’s Warrior Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week and the Cascade Rookie of the Week today. This week, Marcus Holman was awarded offensive honors for his effort in leading the Ohio Machine to defeat the Chesapeake Bayhawks, and Mike Manley was recognized for being the anchor of a team defense in Rochester as the…
The Chesapeake Bayhawks made two trades on Tuesday night, first trading for Stephen Robarge from the Denver Outlaws and then immediately trading for defenseman Jason Noble from the Florida Launch. The Bayhawks were last in the league in faceoff percentage, which is why they traded for the Outlaws faceoff man in Robarge who played behind their starter, Anthony Kelly. They sent Cam Holding out to Denver. Holding also plays in…
WHEN: Today, 7:00PM WHERE: Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium Annapolis, MD BAYHAWKS Entering a home-field advantage with only one win so far this season, this is the perfect opportunity for Chesapeake to renew their momentum for the 2014 season. Last week, the Bayhawks fell to the newly founded Florida Launch, who with Casey Powell on their roster have been tearing up the opposition this year. Chesapeake’s match up today has more…
Following Duke’s back-to-back championship wins, it seems there’s a solid perspective on the ACC as the Power House Conference. I think that’s accurate. 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…
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. An occasional breeze was noticeable but most likely not to the players moving on the field in equipment. As every year, semifinals games are a mere two days before the championship. 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…
Maryland captured their 11th National Title Sunday night. There was a record-breaking 10,311 fans in attendance for Sunday’s match. The Terps had an extremely successful season, being ranked first or second in polls across the board. Syracuse also had a great season, and these two teams going head-to-head in the championship match was definitely a game to watch. Four of the five Tewaarton finalists took the field, Alyssa Murray and Kayla…
Duke and Notre Dame face off for the second time this season. This time on Memorial Day for the right to take home the National Championship. Duke is the defending champion and has two resting in Durham. This would be the first for the Fighting Irish. Fifty-five minutes from face off and Duke has taken the field first. Josh Dionne won’t play but it is good to see him without…
Baltimore, Maryland – The Tufts Jumbos take home their second title in four years as they defeated the Salisbury Sea Gulls by a score of 12-9. The offense started slow, but the record day was marked by a third quarter run in which Salisbury failed to catch up. With the win, the senior class finishes their careers just where they ended their freshmen season, hosting the championship trophy. Tufts Jumbos…
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. For that reason, amongst many others, I feel Denver could have and should have won. Duke and Denver went back and forth all day while still controlling some possessions and producing quality offensive opportunities for both teams. The…
