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.
Once again the popular catchphrase rings true—the rich get richer. With the 32nd pick in the 2014 MLL Supplemental Draft, the 2012 & 2013 MLL Champion Chesapeake Bayhawks selected defenseman Kyle Rubisch. Rubisch, a Brampton, Ontario native who played collegiately at Dowling College, was the second overall selection in the 2010 NLL Entry Draft. Despite his success in the NLL, he still has something to prove in the MLL. Rubisch’s…
With Thanksgiving over and Christmas soon upon us, it will be time for the MLL Collegiate Draft in no time. After all, the draft occurs on January 11, 2014. As the date draws closer, I will try my best to be In Lacrosse We Trust’s Mel Kiper Jr. and highlight the names that fans should be looking out for among the college ranks. This year’s draft class features a lot…
Six different players took draws for Coach Cottle this past year, none of which were Alex Smith. Adam Rand was the go to guy for Chesapeake, winning 171-356, followed by Matt Dolente’s 4-14. Long poles Bernhardt, Simon and Ehrmann went a combined 3-11. As a team, they went 178-381 with an average of .467, tied for fifth with Charlotte.

In what seems to be an influx of trades the past couple of days, Chesapeake has gone and re-acquired Peet Poillon prior to handing in their 23-man protected roster.
There are three places left bidding to host the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse championship weekend from 2015-2018. This would be the first time for a city/stadium to hold the games in a four year term, compared to the original two. Chicago’s Soldier Field, Boston’s Gillette Stadium and Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. In a poll reported by Inside Lacrosse, Soldier Field seems to be the favorite. NCAA committee opened the bidding to…

There is only one remaining Loyola Greyhound on the roster in Joe Fletcher and he just happens to be the only candidate left that is still in college. Via his profile on Loyola’s website, Joe…
Head coach John Tillman walked into one of the best lacrosse jobs in the nation when Dave Cottle stepped down after the 2010 season. Tillman has been nothing short of spectacular since taking the reigns from Cottle as Maryland reached back-to-back National Championship game appearances before exiting in the first round of the tournament this past season. Last year’s team sees 10 important seniors leave the team, five of which…
The Chesapeake Bayhawks had quite the end to the 2013 MLL season. After being the second best team in the league for most of the season, the Bayhawks finished the season on top after defeating the Charlotte Hounds 10-9 in Philadelphia. The win marked the team’s third MLL title in four years and second in a row. Despite winning a championship, the Bayhawks were just as active in the offseason…
Minus LSM Jesse Bernhardt, the Maryland close defense returns fully stocked. Matt Dunn could be the running candidate for the empty slot at LSM after he saw some time when Bernhardt needed rest. Not to mention, Casey Ikeda, who guarded Steve Mock in most of their final game against Cornell last season, got a few runs in at LSM. Him and Dunn may be a switching duo between LSM and…
As fall ball ends, teams across the nation got their first look at their respective players. They saw how returning players improved upon their games from previous years and how their incoming freshmen can make an impact on the squad. Most teams also look for players who will replace departed seniors who filled big roles on the team. None of those shoes will be bigger to fill than those left…
