With the Bandits unable to secure the victory tonight against the Rock, they watch their possibility of hosting the opening round of the playoffs against the Rock slipping away.

I equate this game to a previous one I watched this NCAA season: Lehigh versus Loyola. Both teams are very good, but the Lizards and Loyola are much higher caliber lacrosse programs than either Israel or…
