Then, head coach Ben DeLuca was relieved of his duties. Cornell suffered another setback earlier this week when one of the top defensemen on Long Island, Smithtown […]

Owen Jones’ college selection process was a bit more complicated than most. In a good way. You see, the Bronxville High School senior faceoff specialist is also a kicker and punter in football who was recruited by Yale, Harvard and Princeton as a punter. But Jones has decided on lacrosse — and Yale. His commitment […]
John Salcedo’s best lacrosse is still ahead of him. And that’s saying something. After all, the sophomore at Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft, N.J., has already accomplished a lot playing the sport despite his young age. But there’s more to come. Plenty more. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound midfielder, who performed well at the Maverik Showtime National […]

Speed and skills are two of the most vital skills a lacrosse player can have. But size matters. Victor Titone of Kings Park High School (N.Y.) is a perfect example. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound Titone, a senior, is an aggressive defenseman who can also be intimidating force for opposing attackmen. You can watch his highlight reel […]
