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…
Led by hat tricks by AJ Fish and Greg Coholan, the #14 Virginia Cavaliers (1-1), cruised to a 14-7 win over the Drexel Dragons (0-1) Saturday afternoon at Vidas Field in Philadelphia. Virginia was generating a bunch of scoring chances but the ball didn’t want to go in until 2:05 of the first when Zed Williams scored his first goal of the day. Cole Shafer would get the Dragons on…
Madness? THIS. IS. FEBRUARY LACROSSE! If you don’t know what movie that sort of is from, it’s from 300 (and you should probably watch at least that scene right now). We have a great slate of Division I games this weekend, including six of the top ten teams in the nation taking on another ranked team. Many of these games are on Saturday, so set aside your Saturday. SATURDAY #1…
This past weekend the National Lacrosse League invaded the PPL Center in Allentown, Pa. The New England Black Wolves faced off against the Buffalo Bandits. This wasn’t just any NLL game; it was a homecoming of sorts. The New England Black Wolves (formerly Philadelphia Wings) last played in Philadelphia on April 26, 2014 and lost to Colorado 13-12. But on this night, just a little over 60 miles north on…

With the start of the W.I.L.C. just thirteen days away, Team U.S.A. gathered at Bryn Athyn College (20 miles northeast of Philadelphia) for a scrimmage against Team Fusion coached by Tom Slate. Two of the big names for Team Fusion were Kevin Crowley and Jordan Hall. Former Philadelphia Wing Eric Hoffman was on the roster as well. There was no “official” score kept on the board, but from my count…
For the better part of four months, many of us watched some exciting college lacrosse, whether it was on TV, online, or in person. There were good games, which included all of Championship Weekend, and there were bad games, such as low scoring affairs and of course, the horrendous winter weather. I take a look back at all 69 Division I teams and how they fared this season and what…
