While the number of Division I programs has remained relatively stagnant, the surge in popularity lacrosse is enjoying has led to many more opportunities for players. When all levels, including the MCLA are taken into account, there are more colleges fielding teams — and throughout the country — than ever before. For more, be sure […]
Can the Putnam Valley Tigers make it a three-peat? That’s one of the main story lines entering the season in Section 1, which includes Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Dutchess counties. If the Tigers are to take another Class C title, Kevin Christopher will be one of the big reasons why. Christopher, an all-section midfielder, is […]
How does Mahopac look entering the season? We’ll be keeping the perspectives of a couple of ‘Pac players. First up is Drexel-bound midfielder TJ Foley. An athletic, two-way midfielder who was also a standout on the Indians’ sectional finalist football team and is currently a member of the varsity basketball team, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound Foley […]
The schedule featured a full slate of college scrimmages as we ran down for you this morning. Be sure to check back here for results as they come in and post any info/thoughts on any scrimmages you may have attended. In a three-way scrimmage at Syracuse that also included Hofstra and Le Moyne, Hofstra edged […]
Most of the sports focus this weekend is on Super Bowl XLV, which, of course, will be played tomorrow in Dallas. But for lax fans, there are some interesting scrimmages going on today throughout the Northeast. We will be getting reports on some of them, including the two going on at Syracuse as No. 2 […]
David Dickson hopes his senior season at Greenwich goes a lot like his junior year. The 6-foot senior attack/midfielder, who has committed to Bucknell, was a first-team all-FCIAC selection last year and also was named all-state. And, oh yeah, Dickinson helped the Cardinals win the FCIAC title. Can Greenwich make it two in a row? […]
Can Iona Prep three-peat? That’s the biggest question entering the season surrounding the Gaels, who have won back-to-back state titles (the first in the school’s history). How does Iona look heading into the CHSAA season? What are some of the Gaels’ big crossover games this year? You can find that out — and more — […]
Punxsutawney Phil must be a lacrosse fan. The renowned groundhog (some say he’s actually a woodchuck, but we digress) did not see his shadow this morning, meaning we will have an early spring. (For a video of Phil’s announcement, click here.) Granted, with the unrelenting snow, ice and cold temperatures we’ve been experiencing, Phil’s prediction […]
We’ve talked a good deal here about the abundance of talent Garden City has entering the 2011 season. But equally as important is another attribute the Trojans are also blessed with. Experience. The Trojans, who fell to Jamesville-DeWitt last year in the Class B state title game at Stony Brook, have a strong group of […]
The race for the Section 1 Class B championship this coming season has attracted quite a bit of attention. That’s because Yorktown, which has 28 sectional titles the last 31 years, has moved down from Class A, and Rye, which has advanced to the sectional final six straight years, has moved up from Class C. […]
Andrew West, a standout goaltender for the Blue Wave last season, is a freshman at Cornell. And two current juniors are on the way – West’s brother, midfielder Henry West, and now, defenseman Tony Britton, who has verbally committed to coach Ben DeLuca’s Big Red. Britton’s path to Division I lacrosse is especially interesting, considering […]
Garden City is preparing to officially start defense of its Long Island Class B championship. If the Trojans are to once again emerge from a stacked field of contenders that now includes two-time Class C state champion Manhasset, defense will play a big role. Garden City is well-equipped in that area with a unit that […]
There will be a new look in Section 1 Class C this coming season. That’s because Rye, which has made six straight championship game appearances, has moved up to Class B. Putnam Valley, which has won back-to-back titles and faced Rye in the last six title games, is the favorite. But who are some contenders […]
Last season, of course, was a historic one for the Lakeland/Panas Rebels, who beat archrival Yorktown twice in the same season for the first time in school history, including a dramatic overtime win in the sectional title game, and advanced to the state semifinals for the first time since 1997. One of the main reasons […]
As each new snowstorm rumbles its way through the region, it may not seem like it, but the start of the lax season is getting closer and closer with each new snowflake. In fact, as we told you earlier this week, the first college scrimmages of this season will be held this weekend. Below is […]
