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…
The WLA Draft took place in Vancouver on Wednesday, Feb. 10 with all seven teams making selections. There were some interesting strategies employed by some teams – Coquitlam was the only club making a selection in rounds 11 through 17, for instance. A lot of good talent was selected in this draft and could help propel some teams in their hunt to dethrone the Victoria Shamrocks. Here is a quick…
High Point is coming to College Park to take on the Maryland Terrapins. The Terps will be opening the season and are eager to start the path back to Philadelphia and the National Final Four. High Point will be on their third game of the season, after competing against Boston University at home. In the Panthers’ opening contest against Duke, they were outrun by a Duke team that will wear…
Photo: Reegan Ludd The Boston University Terriers defeated the High Point Panthers 13-10 on Tuesday afternoon to start their season 3-0 for the first time in program history. James Burr scored three times and Sam Tenney scored twice to lead the Terriers despite a banged up roster going into the game. Leading point getter from last season Cal Dearth and leading goal scorer Ryan Hilburn each did not make the…
The Orange opened up their 100th season with a big bang, as they defeated in-state foe Siena 18-5 in front of 2,736 spectators who braved the extremely dangerous weather outside to watch some lacrosse inside the Carrier Dome. The highlight was Dylan Donahue’s nine points on the day, which included four goals and a career-high five assists in a new role as the team’s quarterback of the offense. The starting…
Achieving 100 in nearly anything is worth celebrating. Whether a person turns 100-years-old, or someone gets 100 wins, or someone gets 100% on a test, the number is a very magical one. For Syracuse, they turn 100 years old since first fielding a team back in 1916, and they will celebrate it all year long. It started in the fall with the team getting these chrome helmets: And there will…
Remember last week’s preview when I said this: “And with a mainly mild winter (except for last weekend with a huge snowstorm throughout the east coast), we may not see many games getting postponed due to snow!” Well, I was sort of right, for now. Sort of, because the east coast is gonna get bone-crushing cold this weekend that is altering the college lacrosse schedule throughout all divisions. Some games…
Photo: BostonLax.net The Boston University Terriers are in just their third season of play at the Division I level. They also are almost ready to compete for a Patriot League title, or at least a chance to play in the conference’s tournament. Much of the early success for the young program can be attested to recruiting, and after a 9-5 victory over Providence on Saturday, which opened with a goal…
With the Bandits (3-2) looking to even up their season series against the Black Wolves (3-2) and try to take back the lead in the Eastern Division, no better time to take advantage of that home momentum was Saturday night at the First Niagara Center as the franchise celebrated Champions night. With 13,556 fans and distinguished alumni in attendance at Banditland, the team did not disappoint as they buried the…
The first-place Colorado Mammoth (4-1) head north of the border to face the Vancouver Stealth (1-3) tonight in a key West Division tilt. Although Colorado is coming off their first loss of the season—a 12-10 defeat at the hands of the Saskatchewan Rush—they are returning to the location of their biggest win of the season. Two weeks ago the Mammoth crushed the Stealth 14-5 at the Langley Events Centre. Adam…
