An 8-5 victory against 20th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes was what the Hofstra Pride needed after losing to Georgetown the previous week. Head coach Seth Tierney knew how important the victory was for Hofstra. “It’s not an easy game to win. They’re a Big Ten team with some guys that are big, strong, and fast and play a canadian-like offense but defensively, we were up for the challenge. It goes back…
After coming away with two huge Western Division victories over the Saskatchewan Rush and Vancouver Stealth in recent weeks, the Buffalo Bandits were faced with the difficult challenge of making it three wins in a row when they faced off against their Thruway rivals the Rochester Knighthawks at the First Niagara Center Friday night. In their first of three important regular season matchups on the schedule with Rochester, the Bandits…
The third-ranked Orange return to the Carrier Dome for their only home game of the month to take on in-state rival St. John’s at 4 PM. The Orange enter the game with a 4-0 record, with their last game coming off of a win against Virginia 14-13 last week in Charlottesville. Meanwhile, the Red Storm are 1-5, but gave Yale a run for their money, as they were up 7-1…
It’s time for some teams to prove one of two things. Either they’re contenders when May comes around, or they still need some work to do. It’s been about a month since the season got underway, and we’ve seen Towson, Hofstra, and even Rutgers rise into the Top 20, while Duke, Virginia, and Georgetown have been disappointments thus far. But is this the biggest weekend of the season? Sure there’s been…
The Atlanta Blaze remained active in the trade circuit for the second straight day, sending attack Ryan Walsh to the New York Lizards in exchange for attack Conrad Oberbeck and a 2018 third round draft pick. Oberbeck, a draft pick out of Yale in last year’s draft, played one game with the Lizards last season where he scored a goal. He is second all time in goals scored with Yale….
An early season lacrosse tilt between the Canisius College Golden Griffins (Buffalo, NY) and the University of Vermont Catamounts (Burlington, VT) had a distinctly Canadian vibe to it. While seeing the names of Canadian athletes and coaches on NCAA rosters is not uncommon nowadays, something groundbreaking took take place during the game on March 9, 2016. For the first time in NCAA Division I lacrosse history, a game was played…
The Buffalo Bandits will hold John Tavares Night this Friday, March 11 when the Bandits take on the Rochester Knighthawks. The No. 11 jersey that Tavares wore will be retired as a part of a special pre-game ceremony with Tavares joining Darris Kilgour (No. 43) and Rich Kilgour (No. 16) as the only Bandits players in franchise history to have their numbers retired. Fans are asked to be in…
What seemed to be a dream-like season for the Hofstra Pride men’s lacrosse team has come crashing down to reality as they were handed their first defeat of the 2016 campaign by the Georgetown Hoyas, 11-6. Head coach Seth Tierney noted a change in the team that led to their loss. “We didn’t deserve to win today. We didn’t play with the attention to detail that we played the last…
When you’re down 4-1 before the first television timeout, your starting goalie is pulled after being overwhelmed for the second game in a row and Dhane Smith is starting to get hot, the chances of winning that game are about the same as the Vancouver Canucks making the playoffs. The Vancouver Stealth went 6-1 after a quarter of play and eventually found themselves down 10-3 at halftime, largely the byproduct…
The Buffalo Bandits will continue their west coast road trip tonight, visiting the Langley Events Centre to take on the Vancouver Stealth. Buffalo was able to score a much needed win against the Saskatchewan Rush in overtime last week, finally getting the team above the .500 hump. The Stealth on the other hand were on the losing end of a 11-10 nail biting comeback win by Colorado which ended up causing a large stir on…
