Fri Apr 23 2021 | Patrick Stevens | College PHOTO BY RICH BARNES / SYRACUSE ATHLETICS Tanner Cook scored twice in UNCs 21-9 win over Syracuse. Joe Breschi thought it was time for a reward. His North Carolina men’s lacrosse team was more than two months into a season filled with pandemic protocols. It was coming off its first two losses of the season, an overtime setback at Duke followed by an 18-16 stumble at home against Virginia. So what better time to show some appreciation than in the mid...

Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world: 1.  Emily Hawryschuk is coming back. Two months ago when Syracuse’s Emily Hawryschuk announced the torn ACL she suffered in practice before the Orange’s second game would keep her out the rest of the season, she ended on a positive note. “#51 is not signing off just yet....

Thu Apr 22 2021 | Patrick Stevens | College PHOTO COURTESY OF MARQUETTE ATHLETICS Marquette’s 7-6 quadruple-overtime victory at Providence didn’t take forever. It just felt that way. The Golden Eagles won it on redshirt-freshman Devon Cowan’s goal with three seconds left in the fourth extra session. At 75 minutes, 57 seconds, it was the longest Division I game since Princeton edged Yale 10-9 in five overtimes on March 24, 2012. “I’m young, but I think it took years off my life,” Mar...

Wed Apr 21 2021 | Patrick Stevens | College PHOTO BY JOHN STROHSACKER One of this season’s blessings is that there aren’t nearly as many what-ifs associated with it as a year ago, when the pandemic wiped out the final seven weeks of the regular season, plus the NCAA tournament. Which isn’t to say there aren’t things to wonder about. Just how the Ivy League’s teams would have fared is something we’ll never know; Penn’s return to action on Friday at Division III Cabrini aside. For ...

It was hard to tell who was having more fun Saturday, dads or their kids. "Honestly, I think Im having more fun than the kids," said Samuel De Los Santos, who, along with his brother, Ernest Baskin, brought their sons and daughters to the All Pro Dad Experience at TIAA Bank Field. The event featured football practice drills and family fun activities intended to strengthen the bond between fathers and their children. The two dads were rewarded with hugs and shared laughter after being tackled by...

WHAT WE’RE READING South Africa has joined World Lacrosse, the fourth nation from the continent of Africa in the sport’s global governing body. Amy Martin, an assistant coach at Niagara the last five years, has been promoted to associate head coach for the women’s lacrosse program. Jim Stagnitta, who has led Whipsnakes LC to the past two Premier Lacrosse League championships and won nearly 200 games as a collegiate head coach, picked up win No. 1 as a high school coach as his Hun School t...

Fri Apr 16 2021 | Patrick Stevens | College PHOTO BY RACHEL PINCUS We are two weeks into April and Notre Dame has just picked off Syracuse and Duke in back-to-back weeks. Kevin Corrigan’s message to the Fighting Irish? The same as it’s been all season. “There’s all the sexy teams in the ACC, and they’re going to get the magazine covers,” Corrigan said. “If we’re going to end up on a magazine cover, it’s going to be Popular Mechanics. That’s OK with me.” Corrigan is the fir...

Thu Apr 15 2021 | Patrick Stevens | College PHOTO BY JOHN STROHSACKER James Reilly (.642) has won plenty of faceoffs for Georgetown. At 8-1, Georgetown probably doesn’t need an infusion of good news as much as most teams. Nonetheless, the Hoyas were happy to receive it last week. Defenseman Gibson Smith, who hadn’t played since the Feb. 21 season opener at Villanova because of an injury suffered in practice, returned for Georgetown’s 10-8 victory at Marquette. Considering what’s next f...

Mon Apr 12 2021 | Patrick Stevens | College PHOTO BY JOHN STROHSACKER Bubba Fairman has scored 10 goals this season — seven in his last three games. Maryland hadn’t found itself down more than three goals all season. So what was the Terrapins’ response to Michigan scoring the first five goals on Saturday? Try depositing 16 in a row against the Wolverines. The Terrapins have unleashed these sorts of barrages before. The second half against Johns Hopkins. The fourth quarter at home against ...

Sat Apr 10 2021 | Nelson Rice | College COURTESY OF VIRGINIA ATHLETICS No. 4 Virginia looks like a different team since its last loss almost a month ago to No. 3 UNC. The Cavaliers reversed that result and prevailed 18-16 to hand the Tar Heels (8-2) (1-2 ACC) its second consecutive loss on an afternoon where two of the top three ranked teams in the country fell to conference rivals in the increasingly chaotic ACC. In a frenetic game that featured 95 shots (UNC 51, UVA 44), Virginia (9-2) (2-2 A...
