We had another great weekend of college lacrosse. Let’s start with the big game on Sunday, #3 Syracuse vs. #5 Virginia. The Orange took the game 15-9, but the game was all Syracuse for the first three periods. Syracuse got off to a 7-0 start, led by Nicky Galasso. The Virginia attack had few possessions and when they did get the ball UVA’s attack and midfield took quick and poorly…

NLL Three Stars: Week Nine
We had some very exciting lacrosse and some unbelievable performances this past weekend. Some of which included goaltenders not only standing on their head to make some unreal saves, but also had a goalie score a goal, and not on himself. 1-Rob Hellyer–(5G/5A–Tor) Hellyer was a beast on Friday night. Hellyer’s first goal at :35 of the second quarter put the Rock in the lead until Edmonton tied it…

Billings Remains Unsigned by Rock
The Toronto Rock are on a roll; the team is 8-1 and comfortably in first place in the east. However, one mystery surrounds the team; where is Garrett Billings?

With former players looking on, Cody Jamieson scored the game-winner with 3:48 to play to extend Rochester’s winning streak to four games. The game was a rematch of the 2014 NLL Championship Series and it once again featured a late Matt Vinc save to preserve a one-goal…

Stealth Stomp Swarm 21-15
Saturday Night’s game between the visiting Minnesota Swarm (3-5) and the Vancouver Stealth (4-4) saw two teams trying to stay at .500 in the first half of the season. Vancouver’s key to success would be silencing rookie sensation Miles Thompson, for the Swarm keeping Vancouver’s potent offense at bay, and shaking the confidence of Tyler Richards early. The first quarter saw Vancouver jump out to an early lead off a…
