A six-goal run in the first half gave the Edmonton Rush a lead they would not relinquish as they cruised to a convincing 15-7 victory over the Calgary Roughnecks last night. The win keeps Edmonton’s undefeated season intact at 10-0, the longest winning streak in NLL history. Calgary drops to 6-5 after their second straight loss but retain second place in the West Division. Curtis Dickson essentially was Calgary’s offense,…

One of the longest raging debates in college lacrosse is that of a shot clock. Both professional leagues use it, and stall warnings can be a mess in college, so why not?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_of_March #3 Johns Hopkins vs #10 Syracuse I like ‘Cuse to defeat Johns Hopkins in this contest. While the Orange has struggled on faceoffs, they are still an elite program that is still working out its lineup. Each week this team continue to improve and on Saturday, Randy Staats, Dylan Donohue and Kevin Rice will give the Hopkins defense fits. I’m calling for a big day for the Orange vs….
