Coverage of the Charlotte Hounds and colleges such as the North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils
The Hofstra Pride men’s lacrosse team got their 2016 season off to a great start by defeating fifth-ranked University of North Carolina Tar Heels 10-5. Head coach Seth Tierney was pleased with his team’s performance. “I am really proud of our guys. I’m proud of everything that they were about today. They player really hard in practice the last two weeks and getting prepared. It was a total team win.”…
Madness? THIS. IS. FEBRUARY LACROSSE! If you don’t know what movie that sort of is from, it’s from 300 (and you should probably watch at least that scene right now). We have a great slate of Division I games this weekend, including six of the top ten teams in the nation taking on another ranked team. Many of these games are on Saturday, so set aside your Saturday. SATURDAY #1…
This time last year, Duke pulled out over Denver early in their Cobb County Classic 2015 matchup. It wasn’t until DU’s second half surge of outscoring the Blue Devils 12-5 the the Pios finished the game with a ‘W’ 17-13. It’s the same game all over again, with new stakes at the table. Saturday’s game is host to a battle at face-off X between two of the best specialists in…
High Point is coming to College Park to take on the Maryland Terrapins. The Terps will be opening the season and are eager to start the path back to Philadelphia and the National Final Four. High Point will be on their third game of the season, after competing against Boston University at home. In the Panthers’ opening contest against Duke, they were outrun by a Duke team that will wear…
Photo: Reegan Ludd The Boston University Terriers defeated the High Point Panthers 13-10 on Tuesday afternoon to start their season 3-0 for the first time in program history. James Burr scored three times and Sam Tenney scored twice to lead the Terriers despite a banged up roster going into the game. Leading point getter from last season Cal Dearth and leading goal scorer Ryan Hilburn each did not make the…
After over eight months of no college lacrosse, many of us had to find things to do while we waited for the return of college lacrosse. That meant spending the nice weather somewhere warm (which was everywhere until after Christmas), watching other sports, or watching more lacrosse. But that long wait is over. WE MADE IT!!! Yes, the majority of college teams won’t start until later in the month, but…
If there’s one player teams would like to get their hands on, it’s Kevin Crowley. He has been a stud offensively for every team he’s played on both in the NLL and MLL. This will be Kevin’s fourth MLL team in six years. Crowley’s point production has decreased significantly since his 2013 season with the Hamilton Nationals (55 pts) to his previous season with the Chespaeake Bayhawks (10 pts). This…
The topic has been one of great discussion for a number of years, but the Tar Heels are in need of a Final Four appearance. The early recruiting, big names, and big wins just have not produced into late season success. The struggle for North Carolina is not in the early season, but keeping pace throughout the latter stages. This fall is much different than previous seasons. Some of the…
The Charlotte Hounds of Major League Lacrosse completed a blockbuster trade to acquire midfielder Kevin Crowley from the Chesapeake Bayhawks at the league’s 12-player protected roster deadline. In exchange for Crowley, the Hounds send the Bayhawks two draft picks – the 11th overall selection in the 2016 Collegiate Draft and 15th overall selection in the 2016 Supplemental Draft. A native of New Westminster, B.C., Crowley has appeared in 53 MLL…
For the better part of four months, many of us watched some exciting college lacrosse, whether it was on TV, online, or in person. There were good games, which included all of Championship Weekend, and there were bad games, such as low scoring affairs and of course, the horrendous winter weather. I take a look back at all 69 Division I teams and how they fared this season and what…
