Baltimore, Maryland – On a beautiful day in Baltimore the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays opened their home slate against the North Carolina Tar Heels. Both teams came off tough losses in their prior games and only one would leave avoiding a two-game losing streak early in the season. Carolina scored immediately off the opening face-off victory and Tar Heels would score the next three to take a commanding 4-0 lead…
Jones Historic Fourth Quarter Leads Mammoth Past Stealth
Adam Jones doesn’t care much for your five goal lead. Jones was at his very best in the fourth quarter of the Colorado Mammoth’s come-from-behind 11-10 win over the Vancouver Stealth. He had the quickest natural hat-trick, the league says, since at least 2005. He erased Vancouver’s lead at 9:08 of the final quarter before winning the game with two seconds left in the game. For Vancouver, the first half…

Bandits Travel to Saskatchewan Looking to Get Back on Track
The Buffalo Bandits take a trip out to the prairies of Canada to take on the Saskatchewan Rush in Saskatoon. The Bandits are coming off a disappointing Week Eight where they lost back to back games to the Toronto Rock and Georgia Swarm. They’ll look to redeem themselves in this matchup, but against a Rush team that has won three out of their past four games it will be no easy task. Saskatchewan has been benefiting strongly…
Saskatchewan Lacrosse a Success, So Far
At the time of the demise of the Edmonton Rush, it could have been argued that the relocation of the 2015 NLL champions was the peak of the league’s biggest concerns. Just weeks after the Minnesota Swarm relocated to a small arena in Gwinnett, Georgia, and less than a year after the league’s oldest team, the Philadelphia Wings, located to a casino in Connecticut, now the champs were leaving. Saskatchewan…

Army and Navy Victories On Different Ends of Patriot League Spectrum
The Patriot League is one of the most fascinating to follow in college lacrosse. Not only because of teams like Loyola defeating the likes of Virginia and Johns Hopkins, but because the teams ranked second through fifth in the conference can compete with nearly anyone. Navy, now 2-1 on the season, were one of the biggest dark horse picks before this season to make the national tournament. The Midshipmen proved…
