Coverage of the Buffalo Bandits, Rochester Knighthawks, Rochester Rattlers and New York Lizards and coverage of Syracuse, Albany, Manhatten and more.
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.

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…
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…

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…
