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…
FINAL: DUKE 19 J. HOPKINS 11 This was a game that heated up quickly becoming an aggressive and passionate match. Duke’s defense was on their game today. They played tight defense, communicated effectively and shut down loads of potential offensive opportunities for Johns Hopkins. Myles Jones was on fire at midfield, playing strong Blue Devil offense and commanding the troops. Duke’s strongest points were offensive rotations against the Hopkins…
At noon this Sunday, May 18, Johns Hopkins (11-4) will take on the Duke Blue Devils (14-3) in what should be one of the best matchups we will see in the year’s tournament. For Johns Hopkins, defeating Duke would mean getting back to the NCAA Semi-Finals for the first time since 2008. Since then, they have made a few different appearances in the tournament, falling every time in the quarterfinals….
This weekend is what everyone has waited for all season, the chance to get to Championship Weekend in Baltimore. Memorial Weekend in Baltimore is a treat, but this is the weekend where hopefuls turn into contenders or fall one step short of their goal. On tap, the Delaware bracket has brought back one of the match ups that had defined the last decade in last and two new hopefuls to…
WHO: Air Force @ Duke WHERE: Durham, NC WHEN: Sunday, May 11 5:15 pm ET WHAT: NCAA Tournament First Round Play AIR FORCE The military flight servicemen of Air Force have stunned the lacrosse community this season with an overall record of 11-5. However, that is not enough to overcome Duke this Sunday. Mike Crampton leads the Falcons with 62 points (45 goals, 17 assists) and is followed closely by…
Can you believe we only have a week left until Selection Sunday? It feels like ages since the season started back in February and just as the weather has started to heat up, so to has the games we’ve seen and the players performances. Miles Thompson continues to pile up the points in chuncks, Jordan Wolf looks to be playing his best lacrosse when his team needs it most and…
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…
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…
