This past 2014 NCAA lacrosse season was subject to some major changes. Realignments and plans of future for conferences, Duke 3-peating, and, of course, Miles, Lyle and Ty Thompson. The Thompsons all attended University of Albany to play lacrosse but there was more behind their reasons. Throughout NCAA history, all the “good native American players” were picked up by Syracuse University, or in other terms, “bought out.” When the two…
It was undoubtedly a great season for the NCAA, especially the America East Conference. All of the teams showed off their strengths, and had some amazing games this season. Honorable mentions go to Binghamton, UMBC, Stonybrook, and Albany, who together completed the top four in the America East Conference. Binghamton deservingly secured their second consecutive America East Championship Title this season. For UMBC, Matt Gregoire tied his scoring record…
It seems like you can’t talk about Miles Thompson without mentioning Lyle. You can’t mention Lyle without Miles. It’s fitting that the brothers were named co-winners of the 14th annual Tewaaraton Award on Thursday evening. The Thompson brothers have not only helped rewrite the record books, but have also led Albany to national prominence. The Great Danes won their second straight America East Championship this season and recorded an NCAA…

That being said, I picked Duke, Syracuse, UNC and Loyola. Like I said, my bracket is toast. Either way, the ACC will be well represented in Baltimore next weekend, and is guaranteed to have at least one team in the finals….
What a day of lacrosse at James M. Shuart Field at Hofstra University! In front of a record crowd of 13,519 people, the Maryland Terrapins earned their third trip in four years back to the Final Four in a beatdown of upset-minded Bryant Bulldogs. Meanwhile, Notre Dame beat the Albany Great Danes in an overtime thriller 14-13 in the second game of the double header. Maryland came out firing on…
2:24: Albany-Notre Dame will play in 29:40 here. Lets hope for a closer game than the Maryland/Bryant contest, however, we will certainly have some offensive fireworks with the Thompson trio. 3:10: Back from the press conferences. Missed the first three goals but Matt Kavanagh living up to his twitter handle. 4-0 Notre Dame as Kavanagh scores his second goal of the game. 3:12: Everyone says ooooooooooooooooooh as Lyle Thompson goes…
