Leads ECAC in Assist and Stags to 10-3 Record Colin McLinden is a proud native of Madison, New Jersey, so his affinity for the Jersey Shore during the Summer time is superseded only by his abilities as junior playmaker on the Fairfield University men’s lacrosse team, where he leads the ECAC in assists with 26, and has the Stags positioned as number 15 in the nation. Call him a “shore”…
The ACC tournament starts on Thursday with a few big games. Some of the top ranked teams in NCAA Women’s Lacrosse will be facing off for the coveted title of ACC champion. This will be an interesting week because Notre Dame and Syracuse are going head to head for the second time in six days, and UNC will face Boston College. Notre Dame and Syracuse—Notre Dame is seeking revenge after…
Florida came into competition Saturday looking to fill holes with a healthy mix of veterans and players looking to step into roles after having been out of college for some time. Scott Kahoe (Georgetown and Syracuse) controlled tempo through the midfield when he had the ball. Andrew Scalley had an impressive showing against the Bayhawks during the second game of the scrimmage. He was able to capitalize on his opportunities,…

After beautiful fall season, followed by a brutally cold, snowy winter, spring has returned as well as the Major League Lacrosse season. The New York Lizards spent a lot of time dwelling on the struggles of the 2013 summer where they failed to reach the postseason with a 4-10 record. A lot of things did not go right for Joe Spallina’s squad. A lethargic offense that coughed up the ball…
The NLL had a one-in-a-kind weekend. John Grant Jr. joined the 600-plus club (call AARP!), Curtis Dickson was the man for the Roughnecks, and Matt Vinc gave the Knighthawks an awesome victory over the Bandits. First Star: John Grant Jr.—600th Career Goal I’m personally a fan of awards and record breaking. The Colorado Mammoth pulled off the unthinkable and made it to the playoffs. Not that they’re a bad team,…
