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.
Just a short month ago, Syracuse sat at 4-3 overall and 0-3 in the ACC. Their scoring margin was -6 but that reasonable statistic does not show the magnitude of the 16-8 loss to Maryland, 17-12 loss to Virginia and 21-7 loss to Duke. I’ve watched a lot of lacrosse in my life and I can definitively say that Maryland-SU and Duke-SU games easily top my list of the two…
The Boston Cannons open their season at home this afternoon as they take on the two-time defending champion Chesapeake Bayhawks. Boston has seen plenty of overturn in an offseason after they failed to make the playoffs. Boston will have Paul Rabil in the lineup, a rarity since he typically plays NLL when the season begins, but he skipped the 2014 NLL season. Matt Poskay will be out as he is…
Friday Night Lights Kicks off an action packed Weekend of College and Pro Action Patriot League Playoffs Army vs. Lehigh I like Lehigh in this matchup between two very well coached teams. Lehigh is balanced on offense and has strong goaltending with junior Matt Poillion. My prediction is Lehigh by three. Loyola vs. Colgate I made the mistake of not picking Loyola in the regular season matchup. I’m not going…
Baltimore, Maryland–Hopkins completed a stretch of four games in 11 days to upend the Villanova Wildcats at Homewood Field. In the seventh all-time meeting between the two schools, the Blue Jays turned an 8-7 lead into a 13-7 win. Villanova started the game with three of the first four goals and looked to be in control early. Johnny Gallaway opened the scoring in the first minute of the game, with…
See where your favorite teams stand heading into the postseason: 1) Duke (12-2)—The Blue Devils will take on Syracuse for the third time in less than a year. Wonder how these new rivals will treat each other going forward. Brendan Fowler could be in for a fight as Frank Daddio and the Orange faceoff unit have played at a high level since the ‘Syracuse Slaughter’ a month ago. 2) Loyola…
Who: Villanova and Johns Hopkins Where: Baltimore, MD. When: Today 7 pm The Wildcats will travel to Baltimore this evening to take on Johns Hopkins for the seventh time since 1997. Hopkins is ranked seventh in this week’s poll, while Villanova did not make the chart. Villanova is coming off of a fresh OT loss against St. Johns, and they are looking for a win to increase their overall morale….
Towson, Maryland – A rain delay could only hold back the Quakers offense for so long as it unleashed a barrage on the Towson Tigers to give Penn a 15-9 win. Penn is still in contention for the Ivy League Title and they showed that they are playing strong heading into the Ivy League Tournament. Towson would open up the scoring on their first possession of the game. After…
Major League Lacrosse is on the verge of starting its 14th season, but the road to Championship Weekend starting this past weekend in Annapolis. Denver, Chesapeake, Charlotte, and the newly minted Florida Launch scrimmaged at Severn High School to get an idea on who would make opening day rosters. Players were looking to make the most of their chances before the NLL season ends and open spots shrink even further….
This is a very special gear column coming at you this week as I’m highlighting Maryland versus Notre Dame from Saturday. Both teams were sporting special uniforms and helmets in honor of the final regular game that depicted ACC postseason seeds/standings. Notre Dame sported their Shamrock Series gear. Their Cascade R’s were white with a green/gold combo making the ND decal. The same green outlined in gold was the player’s…
The primetime match up on Saturday of Maryland and Notre Dame started off on a bumpy note. Opponents were trying to get a feel for the other’s competition and systems, Notre Dame wasn’t capitalizing on the opportunities they had, and the Terps were unloading on Conor Kelly in goal. Maryland played aggressive offense, continuously bodied up against their defenders and made the Irish work for their protection. Matt Rambo, Mike…
