Syracuse @ Notre Dame Last weekend, Notre Dame had an intense game against Duke. This was a huge upset for the Blue Devils, but an even bigger boost in morale for the Irish. The Irish are hoping their 12-10 win over their ACC rival will set the bar high for future success. Freshman Cortney Fortunato had a career-high five goals last game, and she is having quite the season. She…

Lizards Run Up on Israel; Israel Third Int’l Team to Compete Against MLL
As was expected, JoJo Marasco and Rob Pannell looked as good on the field as they usually do. Unexpectedly, Israel performed extremely sub-par. The Lizards ran up the score to a final of 21-3. I equate this game to a previous one I watched this NCAA season: Lehigh versus Loyola. Both teams are very good, but the Lizards and Loyola are much higher caliber lacrosse programs than either Israel or…

The Cavaliers saw their first drop of…

Bandits Lose Fifth Straight; Defense Banged Up

With one more win the Bandits can still clinch the second seed in the playoffs, but the Rochester Knighthawks have already clinched the top seed in the eastern division.
