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…
Syracuse, New York – Syracuse University overcame an early and late deficit to advance the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament with an overtime win against North Carolina. In a game that many had been waiting nearly twenty years to see again, Syracuse tied it late and won on captain Billy Ward’s goal in the second overtime. UNC midfielder Chad Tutton started off the scoring quickly, scoring within the first minute…
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….
We have a new top team in the land. Maryland is the new number one team with Virginia seizing the second spot while Syracuse continues to tumble. Penn also earned another early season win over a top 10 program in Denver. 1 Maryland (4-0)—It was a good day for Turtle Nation. Mike Chanenchuk put on another clinic tying his career high with five goals, the defense was aggressive, led by…
