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…

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.

Both teams are very good, but the Lizards and Loyola are much higher caliber lacrosse programs than either Israel or…
