With the 2015 MLL season starting this weekend, the teams have announced their final 25 man rosters. Unfortunately, 19 of the 25 listed will only be allowed to dress. For the first time since the start of his career in 2011, Adam Ghitelman will not start between the pipes for Charlotte, nor will he dawn a Hounds uniform. Other top players in the league that are unable to put on…
Now that we have made it through a large part of the NCAA regular season and conference tournaments are just around the corner, we can take a broader look at what’s happening. Here are my top surprises so far this season, both good and bad, in no particular order. Good Surprises ACC Out of Conference Everyone knew the ACC would be good, even though they lost Maryland this year to…
Ivy League The Ivy League is a mess once again. Entering last week, Cornell and Brown looked like the only two teams that had a clear advantage over the rest of the conference. Harvard appeared like it was dead in the water and Princeton was losing ground fast. Fast forward to Sunday, Harvard beat Cornell in Cambridge and Brown lost to Penn. Princeton continued to slide with a loss at…
The Dragons of Drexel University traveled to Shuart Stadium in Hempstead, NY on Saturday, April 4th for a rematch of last year’s CAA men’s lacrosse championship against the Pride of Hofstra University. This game was back and forth and would take a last minute goal to give the Pride an 8-7 loss at the hands of their conference rivals. They would never gain the lead. Prior to the matchup against…
There’s not a whole lot of college action Tuesday, but more than last week and with better matchups.

If you’re…

Johns Hopkins Ryan Brown ended the game with eight goals, but it was not enough for the Jays to get the win at the famed Horseshoe in Columbus. Junior attackman Ryan Brown opened the scoring with his 29th goal…
The rankings this week had a large amount of self-contained insanity. Just about every team from last week’s top 5 and last 5 all won, with seemingly everyone in between losing. This meant that I didn’t drop anyone this week, but there was plenty of shuffling. Oh, and the Patriot and Ivy Leagues continue to baffle me. Records and scores are including games from April 5. 1 Maryland Record:…
This past week was exciting on all fronts. Trade deadling was on Tuesday and a number of teams made some moves to help them in the playoffs this season and the future.
