Everything either of these teams have worked for over this past season comes down to this game. This is the NCAA D-I Championship, one of the most recognized lacrosse events in the United States. The stage is set for a 2010 rematch between these two teams but everything is different now. For Duke, Myles Jones was not around in 2010. He has become a reliable power house of ability and…
The Division II Championship took place at 4pm today in Baltimore, MD. Limestone went head to head against LIUPost in a heated and aggressive match. Though the crowd was bigger for the D-III match earlier today, I personally feel the D-II game was much more intense and dramatic. Both teams were missing basic shots under high defensive pressure. Limestone led the momentum of the game, but LIU Post kept at…

The final score of yesterday’s bout was 15-12 in Duke’s favor. It was not until there were less than three minutes remaining in the game that they were able to play toss-the-ball-don’t-stall. For that reason, amongst many others, I feel Denver could have and should have won. Duke and Denver went back and forth all day while still controlling some possessions and producing quality offensive opportunities for both teams. The…
In their inaugural season, the Florida Launch are taking the Major League Lacrosse by storm.

The Calgary Roughnecks grabbed an early lead in Game 1 of the Champion’s Cup series and never looked back, earning a 10-7 victory. As they did with the Edmonton Rush last weekend, the Roughnecks have now taken a commanding lead in the series, putting the pressure on the defending champions. Calgary drew first blood at the 2:19 mark of the first quarter when Jeff Shattler sniped a quick-stick goal off…
Coach Kevin Corrigan and the Notre Dame team are familiar with playing on someone else’s home turf in front of a hostile crowd. “You know what, we were up at Hofstra last week and I think there were 37 people cheering for us in a sellout crowd of 13,000. I wanted to come to the press conference afterwards and say I apologize to all those people who wanted to see…
