Durham, North Carolina – Duke trailed Syracuse early in the first quarter and then run away with the contest against the Orange by a score of 21-7. The first midfield combined for twelve goals and the combination of face offs win was just too much for the Orange to keep pace with. Much like last year’s National Championship game, face offs had a significant impact on the game. Brendan…
Chapel Hill, North Carolina – The North Carolina Tar Heels defeat the top ranked Maryland Terreapins 11-8 at home. Charlie Raffa played a great game in controlling the face off circle, but the Tar Heels too advantage of some timely saves by their goalie Kieran Burke and got balanced scoring from their offensive players to get their first win in ACC play this year. The Heels opened up the…
This weekend was about as close in performance NCAA games have been thus far in 2014. I don’t mean scores… I speak of statistics and in-game situations. Many games this weekend were neck and neck until teams took advantage of opportune situations. Virginia – 9 Notre Dame – 18 The Fighting Irish came out with a very mobile and inclusive offense full of assists, offensive rotation and off-ball movement. They…
Alex Urquhart The North Carolina Tar Heels are making their way to Durham to take on the Duke Blue Devils. This is one of the biggest rivalries in college sports. There is only, roughly, 10 miles between the two campuses and that has sparked one of the greatest bubbles of animosity between two schools, just look at college basketball when these two play each other. Now lacrosse is a bit…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_of_March #3 Johns Hopkins vs #10 Syracuse I like ‘Cuse to defeat Johns Hopkins in this contest. While the Orange has struggled on faceoffs, they are still an elite program that is still working out its lineup. Each week this team continue to improve and on Saturday, Randy Staats, Dylan Donohue and Kevin Rice will give the Hopkins defense fits. I’m calling for a big day for the Orange vs….
It was a relatively quiet day for Tom Schreiber. He scored three on the day, two of them unassisted; as well as three assists. Talk about comparable teams much? The Tigers and Tar Heels were practically neck and neck the entire time. I was not until the closing minutes of the game that North Carolina finally pulled ahead, and Princeton lost its steam. On North Carolina’s side of…
WHERE: @ Princeton WHEN: Friday March, 7 @ 5:30 For the second week in a row, Princeton will be the site of another high profile matchup on Friday. North Carolina comes off a startling overtime defeat to Notre Dame while Princeton got served a nice dish of humility by Johns Hopkins. Both teams entered the season with high hopes that had fans of both schools thinking Final Four or better….
Last night, North Carolina and Notre Dame faced off in an all-important conference game in Chapel Hill, NC. The Tarheels have been breezing through this season, not losing a single game leading up to their match-up with the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame has been quite successful this season as well, only losing once at the hands of Boston College. Last night’s game could have been an entertaining, talent-full contest, but…
A portion of this weekend’s schedule says it all. Seven great games over the course of the day make this weekend special. One would think that this is a late season schedule in April, but it’s March 1 and there are going to be changes to the polls. This is a lacrosse fan’s dream weekend with so many intriguing matchups. #1 Duke @ #2 Maryland—Two Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) teams battling…
The Notre Dame womens lacrosse team will travel to Chapel Hill, North Carolina this weekend for a matchup against the Tar Heels.

They are going to bring their best game against North Carolina, because they know that the competition will be fierce. They have a few standouts this season, including freshman attacker, Cortney…
