Coverage of the Charlotte Hounds and colleges such as the North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils
The start of the NCAA Tournament has been absolutely spectacular with upsets, tight games and every position on the field scoring. This evening, UNC will meet Colgate on Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill at 5:15pm in the first round of the tournament. Carolina comes in as the third seed, highest since being seeded number one in 1993 and Colgate enters unseeded but has the Patriot League title under their belt….
Anytime there’s a two-time defending champion, they will have a target on their backs. Even though Duke enters the NCAA tournament coming off a bit of a down-year for the Blue Devils, Duke should still garner the attention they deserve. Ohio State is no slouch. But here’s the difference: Duke has championship pedigree and there’s something to be said for that experience. Even though many of those players have since…
Towson started off their season with a great 7-5 victory to upset Johns Hopkins. Since then, they have posted an 11-5 record on the season and are now in the NCAA tournament looking for a National Championship. They ended the regular season off with two tough losses to CAA conference rivals Hofstra and Drexel but came back to beat last year conference champs Drexel 11-8. In the conference championship, the…
The Outlaws raised the banner for their 2014 title run in their home opener in Denver on Sunday, May 3, 2015, and then went on to defeat the Charlotte Hounds by a score of 15-12. Four different players notched hat tricks for the Outlaws, Greg Melaugh, Eric Law, Jeremy Sieverts, and Drew Snider. Denver Head Coach B. J. O’Hara was worried that the banner raising ceremony would be a…
The Charlotte Hounds lost their first road game on Sunday afternoon, falling 15-12 to the defending MLL Champion Denver Outlaws at Sports Authority Field. The Hounds spent the majority of the game playing from behind, and while they got two late goals, time ran out before the comeback could be completed. Outlaws midfielder Jeremy Sieverts was named Coca-Cola Player of the Game following a four-point (3g, 1a) performance. Meanwhile, the…
No disrespect to team President Jim McPhilliamy, but I think we all can agree that in a perfect world the ideal owner for the Charlotte Hounds would be Montgomery Burns if not just for the fact that he could say “release the hounds” before every game. Luckily for Charlotte they don’t need a cartoon tycoon to motivate them to score goals. The Hounds will visit the Mile High City…
The Charlotte Hounds earned their first victory of 2015 on Sunday afternoon, topping the Boston Cannons 12-11 in overtime. The win marks just the second time in team history the Hounds have beaten the Cannons, and the first time they’ve done so in Boston. Hounds attack Mike Sawyer was named Coca-Cola Player of the Game following his two-goal performance, including the game winner 7:39 into the extra period. Brendan Fowler…
Duke will finally face Stony Brook after some bad weather forced the game to be rescheduled. For Duke they will have to stop Mike Rooney who is tied for the top spot in Division I points with 78. Rooney has shown to be a top player all year and if not stop can put up some big numbers. Also for Stony Brook there are Canadian products Brody Eastwood with 54 points…
The Charlotte Hounds haven’t had the best success in their Major League Lacrosse season openers, but they were just seconds away from ending that. However, a few mistakes proved costly to the Hounds, who lost to the Rochester Rattlers 10-9 in sudden-death overtime Sunday afternoon at American Legion Memorial Stadium. Jordan Wolf scored four times for the Rattlers (1-0), including the game winner just over two minutes into the extra…
One of the beauties of college lacrosse is that the top teams play each other… again… and again. No. 2 Syracuse is facing a ranked opponent for the fifth game in a row. SU won three of the first four—the only loss coming in double-overtime against Notre Dame. Meanwhile, No. 4 North Carolina is in the middle of a similar stretch that started with a loss against Maryland, but was…
