Undefeated Big Red On Road in Philly Against UPenn
WHO: #4 Cornell @ University of Penn WHERE: Adams Field (Penn Park), Philadelphia, PA WHEN: Saturday, March 22, 1:00 pm EST UPENN My personal surprise of the season.

NCAAW: UNC Battles Boston College This Week
Harvard vs Yale—There’s nothing more exciting than two Ivys going head to head. Last year, when the two teams met, Harvard came out on top with a 10-5 victory over the Bulldogs.

Tuesday Division III Notebook: Stevenson Deserves No. 2, Benefit of the Doubt
No poll is perfect and to believe that any body of voters could accurately rank every team in the country is foolish.

It’s just wrong. The Mustangs have done nothing but lose to the…

Simmons: Albany’s Inconsistency, Hopkins Uphill Schedule, Games for Next Week
Inconsistent Albany If you can figure out what is going on with the Albany Great Danes, feel free to let me know. They play Syracuse into overtime, drop a dud against Drexel, have a good win against Harvard, stomp all over UMass, and then they follow that win up with a loss to Bryant. This Albany team seems like it is all over the place and simply not focused. In…

NLL Trade Deadline: Rumor Mill
Trade deadlines are typically some of the most exciting days in sports. This past NHL trade deadline we saw names like Ryan Miller, Martin St. Louis and Ryan Callahan move. Meanwhile, other names like Ryan Kesler did not. This is the beauty of trade deadlines. Once a year, the NLL holds a trade deadline as well, and that is tomorrow. However, do not expect a day full of moves like…
