NCAA: Maryland Faces Mount Saint Mary’s
Last year’s bid to the tournament was not good enough for coach John Tillman. Tillman had watched his team struggled with regular season play, but played good enough to get into the tournament. This year will be different. Maryland has talent all over the field; they had brought in more experience and more depth to add to the offensive style that they have always played. Last year, the Terrapins led…

NCAA Review: UMass, Duke, High Point Get Wins
The first weekend of NCAA Men’s lacrosse is in the books, providing both thrillers and blow outs. We saw a lot of firsts with High Point getting their first win in program history and Bryant taking Colgate into overtime. It was an exciting weekend of lacrosse at every division. In division 1 contests, High Point University, the new kid on the block, went 1-2 overall. First losing to Delaware 12-10…
Mammoth Succeeding with Roik Between the Pipes (For Now)
The Colorado Mammoth went into the 2013 season with a tough goaltender situation, with veteran Chris Levis coming in as the starter and Matt Roik as the backup.

Colorado resigned Dan Lewis who had played in a few minutes of action last season, but Roik…

The game was played in Eugene at the University of Oregon….
Komer Blog: Blizzard Fall to Brampton
I was supposed to get the day off on Saturday. Derek Collins played well as my relief in our previous game (when I somehow ended up in net as a ghost), so he got the nod for Saturday’s game against Brampton. I suppose a different way to look at it is that I was blessed with the opportunity to run the one door on the bench. A few problems there……
Turf Dogs top Monsters in Niagara Opener
Although their team was defeated by Durham, the fans were treated to some great lacrosse in the Niagara Lock Monsters home opener Sunday night. 537 people took in the inaugural game at the Seymour Hannah Centre in St. Catherine’s Ontario, a good turnout for the city’s first CLax game. A slow start by Niagara had them trailing 7-1 in the second quarter and the Monsters were unable to recover from…
