Remember all of the Dom Starsia craziness from about a month and a half ago? Apparently, it was so fun that lacrosse decided to create an entire new social media blowup with news. Last night, BYU assistant lacrosse coach Jordan Harris tweeted the news of the University of Utah picking up a Division One lacrosse program. 412 Lacrosse and College Crosse both picked up the story, along with ILWT. By…
A day after the Brooklin Redmen dropped a 10-7 decision to the Six Nations Chiefs at the ILA they came roaring back to defeat the Cobourg Kodiaks 16-7 at Iroquois Park in Whitby. Recent trades strengthened Brooklin’s defense and Chris Corbeil and Kyle Rubisch made their debuts for the Redmen on Wednesday night. The Kodiaks showed flashes of offensive desire that kept the score close in their two prior meetings,…
When Lars Tiffany left Providence to be the head coach at Virginia, it created some questions over at Brown. We learned earlier today via Ty Xanders that Sean Kirwan would follow Tiffany and join his staff. Confirmed that Brown offensive coordinator Sean Kirwan will join Lars Tiffany at @UVAMensLacrosse. Things shaping up well for the ‘Hoos. — Ty Xanders (@tyxanders) July 1, 2016 And just recently, Brown announced Tiffany’s successor in former Tufts…
As we approach the stretch run of the Major League Lacrosse season, it is time to see who have a legit shot at the title and who will be watching from home. After the trade deadline, a few teams really helped their title hopes. So, who has a shot at the title and who will be watching from home? Ohio Machine. Getting MLL all-time leading goal scorer, John Grant, Jr.,…
The MLL standings are extremely tight, with six teams within two games of first place. Take a look back to another exciting weekend in Major League Lacrosse with our three stars. Jordan Wolf (Rochester) – four goals, three assists Wolf continues to be on a tear, following a 10-point performance last week with seven points in a 16-13 win at Ohio. Four of his points (two goals, two assists) came…
The Major League Lacrosse trade deadline was more eventful than most, and the Chesapeake Bayhawks making four moves led the way. The Bayhawks sent Drew Westervelt to the New York Lizards, while the other big deal of the day involved John Grant Jr being shipped from the Denver Outlaws to the Ohio Machine. Grant being moved was the first transaction of the day, with the Machine sending goaltender Adam Fullteron…
The Cobourg Kodiaks were presented a gift by the Six Nations Chiefs on Sunday. Unfortunately, the Kodiaks couldn’t capitalize on the fact that the Chiefs showed up to the Cobourg Community Centre with only 14 runners, none of whom were named Jamieson, Staats, Smith, or Benesch. They even put their backup Warren Hill in goal but the Kodiaks suffered a nearly 40 minute power outage on their home floor as…
Former Virginia head coach Dom Starsia went from his alma mater at Brown to Virginia and spent 24 years in Charlottesville. Before he left Rhode Island, Starsia coached a young Lars Tiffany and they have been very good friends ever since. When Brown was still in the NCAA Tournament, Starsia went to many Brown practices and games to support his alma mater and Tiffany. And now, Tiffany will follow in…
It didn’t take long for the Cobourg Kodiaks to see the Peterborough Lakers as their arch-rivals. The two MSL teams played each other this weekend for the first time since the Kodiaks move from KW. The teams combined for 163 penalty minutes in two games. It wasn’t quite WLA levels of stupidity (nobody fought off the floor), but each game had moments as the teams got used to each other….
The general rule of thumb in my book is to never rate a draft right after it happens. In our instant reaction world, it is difficult to sit back and wait to see what you have. This especially holds true in Major League Lacrosse. Even though the draft is in January, players often are not able to join their team until 3-4 games into the season, if not longer. Usually,…
