Calgary is still winless, Stealth get revenge over Mammoth, Knighthawks and Rush now on two game win streaks, Black Wolves get doubled up. Where will they fall this week in the Power Rankings???? NLL Power…
MLL Rookie Focus: Kip Orban
Kip Orban Midfielder, Princeton University 6’2, 200 pounds Drafted by the Charlotte Hounds Round 3, 19th overall 2014: Orban finished the season as the Tigers’ fifth leading point scorer as he scored 21 goals and handed out eight assists for a total of 29 points.

MLL Rookie Focus: Callum Robinson
Callum Robinson has made a name for himself at the Division III and World lacrosse level now he looks to do the same in Major League Lacrosse. In this past colligate draft, the Chesapeake Bayhawks took this 6-4, 245 pound Australian out of Stevenson University. This spring will be Robinson’s third and final season at Stevenson but in just his two short years on campus he has done more than most…
Is Curt Malawsky in the Hot Seat for the Roughnecks?
In the 2014 Champion’s Cup finals, the Calgary Roughnecks came within five minutes of winning their third NLL title in team history. So it comes as a bit of a shocker to say that this year, these same Roughnecks have gotten off to an 0-4 start for the first time in franchise history. While the Roughnecks still have 14 more game to play to earn a spot in the postseason,…
NCAA Season Preview: Syracuse Orange Look to Light It Up
The Syracuse Orange have very high expectations this year. To get an idea of what these expectations are, their seniors are on the record using the phrase “championship or bust.” Nearly every player that goes to play for the Orange does so knowing that they want to compete for a national championship. The Orange were last in a championship game in 2013 when they lost to Duke and last year…
Black Wolves Defense Back to Reality
The New England Black Wolves had the best defense in the league going into week four, and with a 2-0 record, shared the top spot in the eastern division. Fast forward just two weeks into the future, and the ‘Wolve are 2-2 and a game and a half out of first place. What went wrong in New England? First, they gave up 19 goals to a Minnesota Swarm offense that…
NCAA Game Preview: Lehigh to Open Season at Home Against Marquette
Photo Credit: LehighValleyLive.com Coming up this Saturday February 7 is the opener for both Lehigh and Marquette. There’s a lot of amplified following behind Lehigh this season, and Marquette still stands as a strong program also. I predict Marquette will be a bit off-beat to start 2015 as they don’t see their home turf until their fourth game of the season. Their first match-ups away are Lehigh, Hofstra and Richmond….
Delaware Blue Hens Upset by High Point Panthers
The Panthers proved to stalk their prey first half and attack second half, as they broke away from the Blue Hens in the third quarter of Sunday’s season-opening matchup to win 15-10. Both teams scored the same for the first two quarters: 3 goals in the first and 4 in the second. In the third period, Delaware was only able to find the back of the cage one time compared…
