Following Duke’s back-to-back championship wins, it seems there’s a solid perspective on the ACC as the Power House Conference. I think that’s accurate. Lacrosse continues to grow from east to west, meaning younger programs pop up the further west one goes in the US. Mostly MCLA and NCLL competition other than the Denver Pioneers. Let’s take a glance at the season-ending records of the ACC teams: Maryland 13-4 Duke   17-3…

Maryland jumped out to a 5-0 lead less than five minutes into Sunday night’s National Championship Game and it looked like the Terrapins would run away with the title.

Limestone led the momentum of the game, but LIU Post kept at…

Syracuse and Mayland Advance to Women’s Championship

The question was asked of Maryland head coach Cathy Reese following her team’s 9-6 win over Northwestern. Was this the case of the better team winning? On paper, it looks like the answer is yet, but credit Reese for how she responded. “Anytime you step on the field, you have to compete,” she said. “You have to compete and you have to play well and execute if you want to…
