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…
The Lehigh men’s lacrosse team jumped out to a 9-4 lead early in the second half, Colgate pulled as close as one, but the Mountain Hawks responded with the game’s final two goals to earn their third straight win, 12-9 on Saturday. With the win, Lehigh improves to 4-1 on the season and 2-0 in Patriot League play. Senior Billy Oppenheimer helped pace the offense in the first half while…
Have you seen this goal yet? ICYMI: Here’s that Josh Byrne goal for @HofstraMLAX…in the running for best of the weekend. #SCtop10pic.twitter.com/327feH2Vi1 — Travis Eldridge (@tgeldrid) March 5, 2016 Now you have. Josh Byrne, in his first season of Division One lacrosse, has lit it up for the Hofstra Pride. Today the Pride lost their first game of the season, 11-6 to Georgetown, but he scored this ridiculous goal. It’s…
The third-ranked Orange travel for their first away game of the season as they take on 15th ranked Virginia Friday night at Klockner Stadium in each team’s ACC opener. This will be the 31st overall meeting between the two legendary teams, with Virginia holding the slight 16-15 edge in the series. The Orange are coming off of a highly-contested 9-8 win over Army West Point last week inside the Carrier…
Senior goalie Warren Hill made a career-high 10 saves and midfielder Tim Barber scored the eventual game-winning goal as the Orange escaped the Black Knights 9-8 Sunday night at the Carrier Dome. The scoring began with a Cole Johnson unassisted goal after the Black Knights stymied the Orange offense for the first two minutes of the game. Derek DeJoe tied things up at one before Connor Cook‘s man-up goal and Tim Coll gave Army a surprising 3-1…
If there were any people who thought Hofstra’s win over UNC last week was “pure luck,” then this week’s game put those doubts to rest. The Pride welcomed in the Tigers of Princeton University, and defended their home field with a 11-10 overtime victory. “I am so proud of the guys in the white jerseys today that I cannot put into words that would do it justice,” head coach Seth Tierney….
Everything’s coming up Rosey for the Toronto Rock. In avenging two early season losses they took down the Rochester Knighthawks on Saturday at the Air Canada Centre 17-6. The Rock still sit last in the NLL but are now on a two game winning streak with three more home games to play before they hit the road again. The Knighthawks fall to 3-4 and sit in fourth place in the…
The Buffalo Bandits take a trip out to the prairies of Canada to take on the Saskatchewan Rush in Saskatoon. The Bandits are coming off a disappointing Week Eight where they lost back to back games to the Toronto Rock and Georgia Swarm. They’ll look to redeem themselves in this matchup, but against a Rush team that has won three out of their past four games it will be no easy task. Saskatchewan has been benefiting strongly…
Syracuse stormed out of the gate early in the first quarter en route to a 16-7 victory over in-state rival Albany Sunday afternoon in the Carrier Dome. The Orange came into Sunday’s game without graduate transfer attackman Nick Piroli, who head coach John Desko said would be week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Senior Tim Barber took his place, as he spent some time at attack last season when Randy Staats was injured. Barber…
