In this weeks episode of the LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast, I discuss my pre-season player of the year picks at every position, goalie, defense, specialist, midfield, attack and overall player of the year. I’ll say no more than the guys that were considered were...
Syracuse lacrosse has a unique history with the #22. The jersey number 22 has a long standing history in the sport of lacrosse. It has been doled out to a teams best player, or a team captain long before Gary Gait first wore the jersey at Syracuse and started a trend...
UPDATE: It is 100% true that Garnsey will be ineligible through 2019 regular season at least. CollegeCrosse.com has announced that they have solid information regarding Ryder Garnsey. Sounds like there is a good chance he is ineligible for the 2019 season. That will...
The Maryland Terps men’s lacrosse squad is primed for another big season, and another run at a championship. Maryland has been the most consistent team in the country under head coach John Tillman. During his eight season reign, Maryland has appeared in seven NCAA...
In the 5th episode of the LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast we discuss US Lacrosse’s way too early rankings, my prediction for who I think will win it all at the D1 level in 2018, lacrosse and the Olympics and what that may look like (and why it gives me a bit of...
This week on the LaxFactor Lacrosse Podcast #4, we discuss a bunch of division 1 college lacrosse attackmen that I’m excited to see coming back for 2019, including Pat Spencer, Jeff Teat, Michael Sowers, Michael Kraus, Cole Williams, Stephen Rehfuss, Jared...

The rematch between Syracuse and Virginia, this time in the ACC Lacrosse Tournament Semi-Finals didn’t dissapoint, this time seeing Virginia reverse their fortune in getting a 1-goal win over the Orange. Michael Kraus scored 2 goals and 3 assists in the win and...

Notre Dame traveled down to Chapel Hill to take on North Carolina in a game that had ACC Tournament implications, and UNC comes away with the 10-9 win, but it wasn’t enough to save the Tarheels season. North Carolina had to both win the game, and do so by eight...
Navy came into the Carrier Dome and stunned the Orange by scoring two goals within the last 9 seconds of the game, the game-winner scored by Joe Varello off of a face-off win over his younger brother Danny Varello of Syracuse. It was Varello vs. Varello at the...
Rutgers traveled down to College Park, Maryland to face the Terps in a Big Ten battle and while Rutgers was able to hang tight, Maryland and Connor Kelly proved too much, defeating the Scarlet Knights 11-10. Kelly was a monster on the day, assisting the games first...
The annual Army/Navy game never disappoints, and this year was no different with Navy edging out Army 9-8 for the road (and Patriot League) win. Army struck first on a goal by Nate Jones with 10:31 left in the first quarter. It went back and forth from there with Navy...
The Duke Blue Devils travelled to Charlotsville to take on the Virginia Cavaliers in Klöckner Stadium and came away with a big 18-13 ACC victory against their long-time rival. Duke got it going early jumping out to a 5-1 lead on goals by five different players, and...
The North Carolina Tarheels made their way to the Carrier Dome to take on the Syracuse Orange and it was yet another barn burning ACC matchup that saw Syracuse erase a late three-goal deficit on their way to dropping UNC in overtime by a score of 13-12. North Carolina...
Johns Hopkins may have started the scoring on the day, but Penn State scored 10 of the next 13 goals of the game and never looked back dropping Hopkins at home by a score of 14-12. Hopkins got on the board first off an unassisted Cole Williams goal, but between 13:19...
Michigan took on hated rival Ohio State in Columbus and came away losers by a score of 8-5. Ohio state got hot early going up 3-1 by the end of the first quarter. Michigan then outscored the Buckeyes 2-0 over the second so that we were notted up at three’s going...

Syracuse traveled to Ithaca, NY to take on Cornell in a game that was supposed to be close, and an instant classic. Despite the hype, the Orange came away with another big loss, and yet another game that wasn’t close as Cornell handled the Orange 13-8. Obviously...
Maryland took on Penn State in a Sunday night showcase and brought down the Nittany Lions by a score of 13-12. It was a big win on the road for the Terps, and after Albany got dropped by UMBC on Friday, it should be interesting to see who the new #1 will be tomorrow...
The Virginia Cavaliers traveled down to Chapel Hill and got their first ever ACC Conference victory over North Carolina by a score of 15-12. The three goal spread implies a closer game than it actually was as Virginia had pretty sold control from about half-way...
The St. Johns Red Storm hosted Marquette for Saturday afternoon matchup and Marquette inched out an 11-10 OT win over St. Johns on the road. John Wagner scored the game winner with 32 seconds left in overtime, his third goal of the game. Connor McClelland contributed...
OK, so I’m laying it on a bit thick calling it a snooze-fest. What I should call this game is a “lacrosse fan’s game” because if you’re not already a lacrosse fan, this game would have put you to sleep. Alas, Duke takes a page out of...
The Johns Hopkins Blue Jays hosted Ohio State on Saturday at Homewood Field in Baltimore and rode a four goal effort from Cole Williams and solid play between the pipes by Brock Turnbaugh to a 13-10 win over the Buckeyes. Shack Stanwick also factored heavily in the...
Listen, I don’t want to take anything away from UMBC here. They beat the #1 team in the land, fair and square…kind of. The fact that Connor Fields wasn’t on the field is a big deal. Albany is NOT the #1 team in the country in terms of on field talent...
The Syracuse Orange took on Hobart Statesmen at the Dome in a weeknight matchup that saw Syracuse walk away with it early enroute to a 11-4 victory and yet another year to enjoy the Kraus-Simmons Trophy. Syracuse was paced by their attack as Stephen Rehfuss put up 3...

The UAlbany Great Danes hosted Stony Brook on Saturday and after a pretty close first half of lacrosse, Albany cruised to a 13-7 America East victory. Admittedly, I was surprised when I saw this score. The 13-7 win by UAlbany over Stony Brook smelled of the Danes...
The Maryland Terps took on the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor and came away victors dropping the host and Big Ten foe 13-5. Things went back and forth early with Maryland striking first, and Michigan answering back and things went along that way through the second...
Penn State traveled to Columbus to take on bitter (let’s be honest…hated) rival Ohio State and the Buckeyes got dealt a blow while getting beat up at up at home, 12-4. I haven’t been overly kind to Penn State the last few years, disliking their weak...
The Syracuse Orange hosted Notre Dame at the Carrier Dome and came away with a big 10-6 win and improve to 5-3 on the season, 3-0 in the ACC. Syracuse enjoyed great days out of Nate Solomon (2g, 2a), Jamie Trimboli (2g, 1a) and Brendan Bomberry (2g), each putting up 2...
The Duke Blue Devils hosted the North Carolina Tarheels in Durham for an early evening ACC battle that saw Duke edge UNC 11-10. UNC jumped out to an early 4-1 lead behind 2 goals from Chris Cloutier and a goal each from Timmy Kelly and William Perry. But Justin...
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish traveled out to The Shoe to play Ohio State, and after allowing the Buckeyes to get within a goal with 2:41 left in the fourth, they managed to hold on for the one goal win on the road. All tied up at five’s at the break, Ohio State...
The Syracuse Orange know how to give their fan base (and their opponents) heart issues, once again defeating an ACC foe by a single goal, and once again doing so in the final minutes of the game. For the second straight season, it was Jamie Trimboli scoring the game...

It was an uneventful evening in Charlottesville, VA as the Virginia Cavaliers knocked off Dartmouth by a score of 12-6. Dartmouth kept it close early, but Virginia regrouped after half time and came out consistently burying the ball into the back of the net. Cameron...
The Syracuse Orange suffered a 14-10 loss at the hands of Rutgers on Sunday and falls to 3-3 on the season. It was a well fought game by both teams through 3 quarters, but the Scarlet Knights and Jules Heningburg proved to be too much down the stretch for the Orange....
Princeton had been riding a 2 game winning streak after dropping 2 of their first 3 and had to be feeling pretty good….and then Penn came to town to start off Ivy League play, and things got ugly as Penn dropped Princeton 14-7. Tyler Dunn got it done putting up...
