The college lacrosse season saw an early end in 2020, so we don't really know how Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Towson, Rutgers and Bryant would have finished off their seasons, but it's safe to say all five teams will be looking to bounce back and attempt to start 2021...

College lacrosse is almost upon us so here is our pre-season top 20 for division 1 lacrosse in 2021. It starts out really ACC heavy, and gets filled out by the Big Ten and Ivy schools. The list goes… DukeSyracuseMarylandVirginiaDenverNorth CarolinaCornellPenn...

So ripping through my college lacrosse pre-season positional players of the year for 2021, which ends up totally matching US Lacrosse's version of these, here goes… Attack, Michael Sowers (Duke), Midfield, Ryan Terefenko (Ohio State), Defense, JT Giles-Harris (Duke),...

North Carolina's Will Bowen has entered the transfer portal, however I don't think this is a big deal, as the situation is simple and makes total sense when you're not jumping to conclusions. We'll talk about the top returning college lacrosse defensive units that...

Despite the season getting trashed, 2020 saw a huge number of freshman lacrosse players contributing for their teams at very high levels. Richmond's Richie Connell broke out and became one of the best young attackman in the land. Dyson Williams led Duke in scoring as...

Owen Hiltz is the real deal and Syracuse is lucky to have him. I've had him pegged wrong for a while now thinking he was a one-dimensional lefty finisher. He's not that at all. He's an all-around talent that can dodge, finish and feed, a true triple threat. The Culver...

The Hobart Statesmen have been as good offensively as anyone over the last three seasons.  In 2019 Hobart averaged 13.94 goals per game, good for 9th in the nation. The covid shortened 2020 season saw Hobart sitting at #1 in scoring offense with 19.6 goals per...

With the very exciting addition of coveted transfer Chris Gray, the outlook for UNC Lacrosse in 2020 was good, and they proved the hype was real by starting the season 7-0. Their offense jumped from 12 goals per game in 2019 to 17+ goals per game in 2020's shortened...

The Duke Blue Devils had a pretty good squad in the shortened 2020 season. Add Michael Sowers to the mix while also retaining the services of pretty much your entire 2020 roster, and that is a recipe for winning of the likes Duke hasn't seen in a few years. I've...

It's official, Joey Spallina, the #1 ranked player in the 2022 class as ranked by Inside Lacrosse has chosen Syracuse as his college destination. Also announced by Spallina, he'll be rocking the #22 which was to a degree expected, and welcomed news. Spallina is the...

Everyone has heard the news that Mike Sowers is heading to Duke. The biggest name to enter the transfer portal beyond Sowers is Yale's Jackson Morrill. A four-year starter with 220 points over his career, Morrill will be a big get for some lucky team. Teammate Lucas...

It's not official, but it's kind of official, Michael Sowers has reportedly chosen Duke as his landing spot to play lacrosse in 2021 and it makes a lot of sense. Sowers as I've said over and over is the best player in college lacrosse right now and Duke is now...

Dave Pietramala and Johns Hopkins have agreed to part ways and Petro is out as the head coach for the Bluejays. A national search for a new head coach is now underway at Hopkins. Petro went 207-93 with 18 NCAA Tournament appearances between 2002 and 2019. He won...

I got the chance to sit down with Syracuse senior midfielder and USILA All-American Jamie Trimboli Friday night. We talk about how bad it sucks that COVID-19 merked the 2020 college lacrosse season, we talk about what it's been like getting a chance to play for the...
