Every once in a while, we will attempt to write the worst lacrosse article on the planet. This week, let’s look at the difference between lacrosse players and non-lacrosse players. In the Champion Challenge last Sunday, Quint Kessenich referred to faceoff specialists as non-lacrosse players. His point was poorly received by many. Perhaps that’s because he was right. Perhaps those who disagreed are not ready to face the harsh reality…
WHO: Mount St. Mary’s at Maryland WHERE: College Park, Maryland WHEN: Saturday February 8 @ 12:00pm EST Maryland and Mount St. Mary’s will faceoff this coming Saturday for their season openers.

WHERE: @ Colgate WHEN: Saturday February, 8 @ 1:00 Colgate and Bryant have created a nice little rivalry over the past few years.

Vancouver newcomers shining in the midst of team slump, Philadelphia’s Thul continuing his scoring touch, Rush rookies remaining undefeated, and Dillon Ward getting the Mammoth back on track highlight the recent NLL rookie action. Despite suffering a pair of losses over the weekend, Vancouver’s B.C. rookie tandem of Tyler Digby and Cody Bremner continued their stellar play. In a 17-12 Friday night loss to Toronto, the duo mirrored each…
As a hockey player, I love the cold weather. Whenever the twenty degree weather and snow hit the homeland, my fellow Long Islanders look at me with the evil eye. To be fair, I agree, there is not much that can be done during this weather. Other than hitting the outdoor ice, building snow forts and shoveling, it is probably not wise to do anything when you are exposed to…

Elon and Duke Women’s lacrosse are both practicing hard for this Friday’s match at Elon. The tension between the two in-state rivals is high; especially considering Duke’s former associate head coach, Josh Hexter, left the team for a head coaching position at Elon in 2012. This will be one of the first games that both teams play this season, and they are both ready to put up a fight. The…
