Yesterday after the press conferences with the Duke Blue Devils and Notre Dame Fighting Irish, we caught up with Irish defenseman Stephen O’Hara and Duke midfielder Christian Walsh. Stephen O’Hara Interview Christian Walsh, Duke Midfielder Interview
Everything either of these teams have worked for over this past season comes down to this game. This is the NCAA D-I Championship, one of the most recognized lacrosse events in the United States. The stage is set for a 2010 rematch between these two teams but everything is different now. For Duke, Myles Jones was not around in 2010. He has become a reliable power house of ability and…
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…
Coach Kevin Corrigan and the Notre Dame team are familiar with playing on someone else’s home turf in front of a hostile crowd. “You know what, we were up at Hofstra last week and I think there were 37 people cheering for us in a sellout crowd of 13,000. I wanted to come to the press conference afterwards and say I apologize to all those people who wanted to see…

12:45: We are about 19 minutes from game time here at M&T Bank Stadium! It is a beautiful day for some Final Four lacrosse. Both teams have headed to the locker rooms for some last minute stuff after warm ups. We are set for some really exciting games here in Baltimore! On a separate note, thank you to all the men and women who serve our country and allow us…
Duke is #5. Denver is #9. The Bloomberg Report states the two bring in comparable levels of revenue each year. The Blue Devils are no strangers to the NCAA Final Four spotlight as they’ve been around lacrosse since it’s popularity began growing. Denver is making their third appearance in the program’s short history, hoping to awe the lacrosse world. Duke overcame Johns Hopkins at the University of Delaware last week in perfect…
Photo Credit: Ian Neadle ACC Well, my bracket is toast. The only thing I can say is that I correctly picked that three ACC teams would make Championship Weekend. That being said, I picked Duke, Syracuse, UNC and Loyola. Like I said, my bracket is toast. Either way, the ACC will be well represented in Baltimore next weekend, and is guaranteed to have at least one team in the finals….
Photo Credit: Ian Neadle On Sunday at noon in the University of Delaware, Johns Hopkins met up with Duke in the NCAA Quarterfinals. The Blue Devils would come out on top 19-11. The referees in this game were making many questionable calls whether due to the penalized action or the timing of their calls. In the end, Hopkins accumulated more than twice the amount of penalties than did Duke which…
