After Duke and North Carolina took care of business in impressive fashion with midweek wins against High Point and Virginia, respectively, the weekend slate Division I games features a heavy load of key conference matchups.  No. 4 Rutgers visits No. 3 Maryland, 3 p.m. Saturday on Big Ten Network in what is the clear top game of...

Photo courtesy of Maryland Athletics Maryland’s Big Ten gauntlet continues with a contest against a familiar foe in Johns Hopkins. After skipping a year for the first time in nearly two decades, the greatest rivalry in lacrosse will be facing off once again for a new installment — the first without fans. And though they aren’t of the same caliber of Penn State or plenty of their counterparts, the Blue Jays, like all Big Ten programs, are perfectly capable of toppling the Terps. But with ...

The Virginia-Syracuse rivalry could not be closer, historically. The Cavs and Orange have split the series 18-18. Each team has scored 466 goals. The last five games have been one-goal affairs, including the last time they met — a 15-14 Virginia overtime victory in 2019.

The change suited him. He scored 60 goals and added 54 assists as a senior and was the MVP of the Under Armour All-America game. When he got to Johns Hopkins, the Blue Jays already had Kyle Marr, Shack Stanwick and Cole Williams as a starting attack...

So back in the latter stages of autumn, when it was anyone’s guess just what the season would look like, it was apt to ask him just what 2021 would bring for the sport. “It could be the great...

Mon Jan 18 2021 | Justin Feil | College Twelve days out from the first known scheduled game of the 2021 season, most NCAA Division I men’s and women’s lacrosse teams are still finalizing their schedules for the spring — working out conference schedules first before moving to slot in as many non-conferences as permitted by their institution or conference.  Privately, most coaches have an idea of their schedules, but final schedules won’t be released until approved by admini...
