The trip to Schenectady began early Saturday morning, as all local team members met at the Cannons’ office in Allston for a planned departure at 8 am. My day started off on the wrong foot, as…

Niagara was able to accomplish this goal, capturing the 2014 Creator’s Cup with a thrilling 10-9 overtime defeat of the Oshweken Demons. Niagara finished second in the regular season standings…
For the Stealth to win Saturday night in Rochester they would need a big night from their star forward, and leading scorer Rhys Duch. Instead they got a strong dose of offense from Lewis Ratcliff, but it was not enough. They fell 10-7 to the East Division leading Knighthawks; leaving the Stealth to ponder what they need to do with their talented roster to make the playoffs. The Stealth are…

The first annual all star game was an exciting way to end the CLAX season. Having faced these opponents in several intense battles throughout the season, it was a nice change of pace to play against the league’s best players for a fun friendly match.

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…
