With the news that Greg Danseglio will at least miss the Spring 2015 season with the Cavaliers, there is a relatively young corp of players that will need to be the next men up for Virginia. Danseglio was an important piece for the Wahoos and his presence will be missed. Virginia statistically needed a lot of work after being eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament by Johns…

Providence Scrimmages to White Team Victory
On Friday, November, 7th, Providence College held an intra-squad scrimmage to give their players some live action as the fall calendar winds down. Rather than a typical scrimmage of likely starters vs. everyone else, the squad was split into two groups (black and white) that were established earlier in the fall, making the competition between teams much more balanced. This afforded us the chance to see plenty of players and…
NLL Off Season Recap: Calgary Roughnecks
The Calgary Roughnecks continue a busy off season as they look toward the 2015 NLL season. Coming one goal shy of hoisting the Champions Cup they didn’t need a ton of improvement but they have definitely made some big moves to get back to that chance to get the ultimate prize.

Dube Blog: USA Camp Wraps Up First Week
Day 2 is in the books, we’re hitting the road a bit earlier than scheduled. It’ll be nice to get home before 2 am even though I could have scrimmaged for at least another hour. 7:30 am came pretty quick this morning but a coffee and a Red Bull later I felt alive again. We hit the floor for warmup a bit after 9 then got some shooting practice in….
Ohio Machine Players Turning Gears for NLL Season
There’s a particular aspect of professional lacrosse I have always noticed, and that is there’s multiple leagues with the same names participating.
