Photo Credit: Ian Neadle Playing lacrosse in the snow is not easy. It is harder to pass, clear, collect ground balls and see the ball as a goalie. Snow leads to a sloppy game and creates parody between unequal teams; that is what we saw in the Loyola-Holy Cross game. Three games had game times changed or were postponed on Saturday: UMBC-Monmouth, Penn State-Villanova, and Georgetown-Towson. I can’t tell you…

Syracuse and Army Highlight NCAA Sunday
When Army and Syracuse play on Sunday evening in the Carrier Dome, they are restarting one of my favorite series on the Syracuse schedule. This rivalry took a year off because of the Orange’s move to the ACC last year, which put Maryland into the weekend typically reserved for Army’s visit. With Maryland’s departure from the ACC, the Army date is back on. Army and Syracuse both are typically loaded…
Black Wolves Look to Rebound Against Colorado
This afternoon the New England Black Wolves (2-4) will host the Colorado Mammoth (3-3). Both these teams are winless in their last seven combined games, after winning their first five combined. After winning their first two games the Wolves have fallen on some hard times losing four straight, including Friday nights 13-12 OT thriller of a loss to Toronto. This was their best game since their 17-7 win over Rochester in…

#19 Mountain Hawks top Boston U 10-9
2/21/2015 1:45:00 PM Box Score BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh attack combined for nine goals and 14 points while senior goalie Matt Poillon made 15 saves, none bigger than a stop in the final minute, to lead the Mountain Hawks past Boston University in the Patriot League opener on Saturday, 10-9. The game began frigidly cold before snow began falling (heavily at times) late in the contest. The Terriers erased…

Furman Beats Canisius in OT
This game was millimeters from becoming a blood bath. With a final decision of 9-8 in OT in Furman’s favor, refs were losing control of the game, snow began to dump on Denver around halftime and dirty play went on all around. The ball went back and forth all day in a match much closer than the Denver-Air Force event opener. Furman and Canisius split 21 face-offs 11-10 respectively. Canisius…

To start, we highlight Connor Cannizzarro of DU with his six goals and two assists on the day. He lead the offense in scoring as well as direction on the field. He’s also the first DU lacrosse player to have 8-plus points in two games in…
