Joe DiMaggio’s famous hitting streak in Major League Baseball was at 56 games. The National Lacrosse League has not been around *quite* as long as MLB, but Adam Jones of the Colorado Mammoth has hit that exact mark. In Colorado’s 14-13 victory over the New England Black Wolves in week ten of this NLL season, Jones scored a goal in his 56th straight NLL contest, dating back to the 2012…
Actually, Maybe Kyle Jackson Had the Goal of the Week
Maybe it’s not a good idea to declare a goal the best of the week before the rest of the games have been played. While Josh Byrne’s goal for Hofstra in the Pride’s loss to Georgetown was incredible, Kyle Jackson from Michigan may have had him beat. Take another look at Kyle Jackson’s overhead BTB from earlier today… @Inside_Lacrosse@LaxFilmRoom@SexyTimeLaxpic.twitter.com/qli01BwmFZ — Michigan Lacrosse (@umichlacrosse) March 5, 2016 Michigan faced Vermont yesterday…
Harvard Upsets Duke With Strong Offensive Performance
This college lacrosse season has been one of upsets. Loyola and High Point defeated Virginia, then Towson beat Loyola.

Cosmo Leads Bandits Past Stealth in Vancouver
When you’re down 4-1 before the first television timeout, your starting goalie is pulled after being overwhelmed for the second game in a row and Dhane Smith is starting to get hot, the chances of winning that game are about the same as the Vancouver Canucks making the playoffs.
