Coverage of the Buffalo Bandits, Rochester Knighthawks, Rochester Rattlers and New York Lizards and coverage of Syracuse, Albany, Manhatten and more.
The news was bad for the Rochester Knighthawks this week despite their game one victory in the eastern conference finals. Cody Jamieson, last season’s MVP, was injured in the victory last week. It’s being reported he has a torn Achilles and will miss the remainder of the playoffs. Along with the playoffs, Jamieson could miss most of the Six Nations Chiefs series in Major Series Lacrosse. It remains to be…
Well the final four is set. We have Notre Dame vs. Denver and Johns Hopkins vs. Maryland. I have to say, I am very surprised that Maryland won, but I’m more surprised at how it won. I did not expect that the Carolina offense would struggle so badly; it was never really close at all. I expected the UNC attack to run all over Maryland and outscore the Terps significantly,…
For just the fourth time ever, the Syracuse Orange were taken down in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament. The story of the day for Hopkins was graduate student Eric Schneider. Schneider picked up 15 saves and has been on a recent “redemption tour” after getting torched several times early in the season. At certain points it looked like nothing would be getting past him as he made some phenomenal…

The Rochester Knighthawks took a huge 1-0 series lead on the Toronto Rock last night. They won thanks to a last minute goal from Dan Dawson that made Sportscenter’s Top 10 plays. Check out the video below.
Dan Dawson’s game-winning goal with 36.1 seconds left in Game One of the East Division Finals led the Rochester Knighthawks to a 10-9 victory over the Toronto Rock. “(It was) perfect timing,” Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen said. “You can’t ask for anything more than that.” The Knighthawks saw a career-high six-point performance from Brad Self (3+3). Craig Point also completed his hat trick and added a helper in the…
It’s the most storied rivalry in all of college lacrosse. It’s the Michigan-Ohio State or the Duke-UNC of its sport. It’s none other than Johns Hopkins-Syracuse, the two winningest programs in the history of college lacrosse. Tomorrow at Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, another chapter will be written into the already huge book between the two teams. We’ll begin with what will be considered the “road” team due to…
Albany came into the second half after rain delay trailing and needed a momentum shifter. Lyle Thompson took the reigns and played through triples and quadruples of defenders coming at him. A few times, he lost the ball. In the end, Notre Dame stepped up on defense and made fast close range shots goals. They stole the momentum shift away from Albany. The Fighting Irish go on to Philadelphia after…
The Rochester Knighthawks will play the Toronto Rock in a best of 2 series starting tonight at the Blue Cross Arena, faceoff set for 7:30 pm. The Knighthawks are fresh off a 14-11 victory in round 1 where they defeated the Buffalo Bandits. The Rock are the top seeded team in the East, so they had a bye in the first round. Coming into this season, I think a lot…
We have a rematch this weekend of one of the best lacrosse games to ever take place that was last year’s Albany vs. Notre Dame playoff game. Now these to clubs meet at the same spot in 2015 looking to win and advance to the final four. Lyle Thompson leads Albany with 116 points. When Lyle teams up with freshman Connor Fields, who has 82 points, as a lefty attack…
