WHERE: @ Georgetown WHEN: Wednesday March 19 @ 6:00 Loyola is one of, if not the hottest team in the country right now. After losing their season opener by one goal in overtime to Virginia, the Hounds have won six straight games, four of which have come against ranked teams. If the defense hadn’t collapsed worse than the Titanic in open ocean waters, the Hound would be 7-0 right now…
For the second year in a row, No. 17 Hofstra saw its four-game winning streak snapped by St. John’s in an 11-10 overtime loss. With the loss Hofstra drops to 4-3 overall on the season while St. John’s moves to 4-2. “It leaves a bad taste in our mouth,” Hofstra Head Coach Seth Tierney said about the loss. “I thought we had opportunities to win.” Hofstra was led in scoring…
Looking at team statistics for the 2014 season, the Rock are actually very solid on the defensive side of the ball. Therefore, why trade for a goaltender? Though opponents playing Toronto are averaging a save percentage of .764, the Rock have a similar rate of .753. That exemplifies the goalies’ efforts in saving 75 percent of the shots they take, and it’s within 1 percent of the opponent. The Toronto…

WHO: #4 Cornell @ University of Penn WHERE: Adams Field (Penn Park), Philadelphia, PA WHEN: Saturday, March 22, 1:00 pm EST UPENN My personal surprise of the season. Always a consistent team with pretty tough schedules, UPenn is really drawing attention this season. They come into this game 3-2 and off a close loss to #16 Princeton. The battle against the Tigers was high octane as UPenn recorded 45…

Toronto has acquired goaltender Brandon Miller from the Philadelphia Wings in exchange for transition player Kyle Belton, a conditional 2nd Round pick in the 2014 NLL Draft and Toronto’s 4th Round pick in the 2014 NLL Draft. “We now have one of the best goaltending tandems in the NLL,” said Sanderson. “We…
Harvard vs Yale—There’s nothing more exciting than two Ivys going head to head. Last year, when the two teams met, Harvard came out on top with a 10-5 victory over the Bulldogs. Yale is hoping to change things up this year and they are hoping their home field advantage will give them a great morale boost from the crowd. The teams are both having productive seasons, and Harvard’s offensive line…

But this week’s edition of the USILA Top 20 has inspired doubt in me because of the way its voters have treated the No. 5 Stevenson Mustangs in the wake of their loss to top-ranked RIT. It’s just wrong. The Mustangs have done nothing but lose to the…
