If you asked anyone in early April who would make the Final Four, how many people would have picked Notre Dame, Denver, Maryland and Johns Hopkins? Anyone? Pretty unlikely. Would anyone have even picked three of the four teams? These teams have one thing in common. They have advanced to Championship Weekend. Besides that, they are actually quite different. What’s the takeaway message? You can take many routes to the…
The Denver Outlaws traveled to south Florida to take on the Florida Launch on Saturday. Denver came away with a 15-12 victory, and we led by a 16 save effort by Jesse Schwartzman.

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…
A pair of 1-3 teams are set to square off Saturday night at Selby Stadium in Delaware, OH, as the Ohio Machine and the Charlotte Hounds are both coming off of losses in their games last week.

This time around, Denver will be the home team, with the game set to take place at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The Buckeyes (12-6, 3-2 Big Ten), are trying to…
