NCAA Lacrosse Tournament: Towson Shocks the World, Knocks Out DU in First Round

May 17, 2016

Intensity was the focus of the Tigers upset of the defending National Champions Denver Pioneers. There were multiple aspect playing into Towson’s win in the Mile High City, but intensity is what made it all happen. To start, Trevor Baptiste may have won 20 of 22 face offs, but that didn’t necessarily guarantee Denver coming up with the possession and offense. Towson in actuality came up with the majority of…

NCAA Lacrosse Tournament: Denver Begins Defense Against Towson

May 13, 2016

In Wednesday’s play-in game, Towson lit up Hobart. That’s the only way of saying it when Hobart barely touched the ball offensively and the Tigers had 33 shots on goal in the first 31 minutes of play. The win has earned Towson a trip west to the Rockies to take on the defending NCAA Division-I Champs: the DU Pioneers. If this matchup weren’t filled with controversy, then it wouldn’t be…

The Ohio Machine defeated the Denver Outlaws 14-13 this past weekend on the strength of 3 critical saves by Scott Rodgers during overtime. Denver defeated visiting Ohio two weeks ago in the last minutes of that game so the Machine returned the favor in the rematch. This time it was Marcus Holman scoring the game winning goal on an assist from Steele Stanwick. This season’s games between Denver and Ohio…

One word to summarize what happened Thursday: wow. All of the conferences except the ACC and Patriot League (who already finished their tournaments last week) and the Ivy League (who play Friday and Sunday) had their semifinals yesterday, and it brought some big results that will affect plenty of bubble teams. America East: Vermont 10, #15 Stony Brook 9; Hartford 11, #4 Albany 10 (OT) You read those scores right. Vermont…

Outlaws Derail Machine and Claim Win in Home Opener

The Ohio Machine traveled to Denver to Sports Authority Field at Mile High to take on the Outlaws in their season opener. This was a tale of two teams that went in different directions last season. The Machine appeared to be the favorites against the home team as Denver suffered an uncharacteristic 2015 where they failed to make the playoffs. Jesse Schwartzman announced his retirement, the defense struggled with consistency…

Mammoth Double Up Rock in Denver 10-5

April 25, 2016

0 comment

Milestones were set in the Mile High City for the Toronto Rock on Saturday night. As a team, they didn’t have much offensive muster, dropping a 10-5 decision to the Colorado Mammoth at the Pepsi Center. Individually, however, it was a fruitful game. Playoffs are out of the picture for the Rock but most of their players still have long careers ahead of them to rack up accomplishments. Kyle Aquin,…

Let’s get right to the games: SATURDAY #6 Albany @ #4 Yale – Noon This would be the Game of…

NCAA Bracketology V2: You Should Probably Win As Much As Possible

Here’s a scary stat: 84% of the regular season has been complete. 16% of the regular season remains. Some teams still have a game, or two, or maybe three left. But many teams also have their respective conference tournaments to participate in as well. They’ll get started next week with the Patriot and ACC tourneys happening, with the other conference tournaments occurring in two weeks. This year’s field for at-large…

College Lacrosse Weekend Preview: All Chaos Conference?

With so much drama in the ACC, it’s kinda hard getting into the NCAA Tournament scene. But they, somehow, some way, keep coming up with interesting storylines every single day. I’m no Snoop Dogg, but if you use your imagination and tinker the first four lines of Gin And Juice with ACC references, it’s actually a pretty good summary of the conference’s season. Except Notre Dame, who’s sitting comfortably as…

NCAA Bracketology V1: There’s Still Time

Is it too early to start predicting brackets? Some may say yes, others the opposite. Joe Lunardi already has a way too early 2017 NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracketology, and we just got done the hoops tournament last week! Teams don’t know if they’ll lose someone to either the NBA Draft or to transfers or even who they might gain via transfers and commitments. But in lacrosse, we have less than…
