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…

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.

Both teams are coming off…
