Coverage of the Charlotte Hounds and colleges such as the North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils
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…
On the team’s mindset coming out of training camp… “We had two sound weeks of training camp, probably not as much time as we would have liked together, but certainly moving forward there is a little bit of a void as we’re trying to find a new direction. Matt Danowski was kind of a larger than life personality for us. Adam Ghitelman on the defensive end too. Both your captains are…
With the 2015 MLL season starting this weekend, the teams have announced their final 25 man rosters. Unfortunately, 19 of the 25 listed will only be allowed to dress. For the first time since the start of his career in 2011, Adam Ghitelman will not start between the pipes for Charlotte, nor will he dawn a Hounds uniform. Other top players in the league that are unable to put on…
The Duke-UNC rivalry is one of the best in all of sports. Mainly, the rivalry has been associated with the two basketball teams, but it has that same intensity on the lacrosse field. The evidence was with Sunday’s thrilling game at Fetzer Field in front of 5,711 fans. Duke scored six goals in the 2nd quarter to take a 7-5 lead at the half, a much better half than last…
The Battle for Tobacco Road ensues yet again for another year as the Duke Blue Devils take a short trip to Chapel Hill to take on the UNC Tar Heels in a big ACC matchup for both teams. Duke is coming off of an embarrassing 19-7 showing inside the Carrier Dome to the #1 Orange last week. Not a good way to open up your ACC schedule. Junior midfielder Myles…
No. 1 vs. No. 2. With about a month left in the regular season, it doesn’t get much better, especially considering how close the two Syracuse-Notre Dame games were last season. Each game was decided by one goal and another classic could be in store on Saturday. The Orange will travel to South Bend, Indiana to play its first true road game of the year. Both teams are coming off…
Kevin Rice pumped his arms above his head with two hands on his stick as if he was performing a bench press. And then he did it again. And again. It was an homage to Randy Staats, who missed No. 1 Syracuse’s (7-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) 19-7 win over No. 4 Duke (7-2, 0-1) with a lower-body injury and usually celebrates goals with this hand gesture. And even without its…
This is the matchup we have been waiting for as the nations number one defense, Maryland, takes on the nations number one offense in North Carolina. Coach Tillman’s Terrapin defense is anchored by goalie Kyle Bernlohr, who leads the NCAA in save percentage with .708, and two time, consecutive B1G defender of the week, Casey Ikeda. Offensively, Maryland needs to stay hungry, attack the UNC goalies and get them on…
