As the Rochester Knighthawks defeated the Calgary Roughnecks on Saturday, they also entered a team legend into their hall of fame in Casey Zaph. We caught up with him after the game this week to discuss his immortality in Rochester.
We had some very exciting lacrosse and some unbelievable performances this past weekend. Some of which included goaltenders not only standing on their head to make some unreal saves, but also had a goalie score a goal, and not on himself. 1-Rob Hellyer–(5G/5A–Tor) Hellyer was a beast on Friday night. Hellyer’s first goal at :35 of the second quarter put the Rock in the lead until Edmonton tied it…
The Knighthawks celebrated Hall of Fame Night tonight by defeating the Calgary Roughnecks, 12-11 at Connors & Ferris Field at The Blue Cross. With former players looking on, Cody Jamieson scored the game-winner with 3:48 to play to extend Rochester’s winning streak to four games. The game was a rematch of the 2014 NLL Championship Series and it once again featured a late Matt Vinc save to preserve a one-goal…

Hofstra slipped to 1-3 this season while the Hoyas, who got their first win of the season for Hofstra alum Kevin Warne, are now 1-2 in 2015. Malave, who recorded a…
When Syracuse and Virginia meet on Sunday, it marks not just the beginning of ACC play this season, but also the next installment of one of the best match ups in college lacrosse. The two undefeated teams have taken slightly different paths to reach this point, but as always, it will prove to be a great game. Syracuse head coach John Desko says year after year that this is a…
The Rochester Knighthawks face-off against the Calgary Roughnecks for the first time in 9 months. The last time these teams met, the Knighthawks made NLL history by becoming the first team to ever three-peat after coming from behind in the mini-game after being down 2-0 by scoring the final three goals in just over a minute. But now things are a bit different. Calgary comes into the game at…

Cosmo’s injury has been announced to be a knee injury while shoveling snow this week. DiRuscio has only played in one NLL game, saving ten shots and giving up four…

With the talent being spread through more teams in Division I, there is a lot of opportunity for underclassmen to make their presence felt. This weekend is that start of March,…
