Add another chapter to the epic Duke-Loyola postseason series.  With the game tied 9-9 and about :60 remaining in the first overtime period, Duke attackman Joe Robertson gathered the ball for his team’s second OT possession. He squared up Kyle LeBlanc, a Loyola defender who’d been injured since the Hounds’ game vs. Army on April 10, turned down a screen from Michael Sowers, got topside and sold out. Falling down, he put a sidearm shot into the ground. It bounced over Loyola goalie Sam Shafer’s left shoulder as his stick head dug into the ground. “I think when the game’s on the li...

That, in and of itself, wasn’t wrong; theoretically they should’ve been hosting Virginia.

On Loyola’s next offensive possession, Matt Benus followed up his shot to the endline, forcing an Army defender out of bounds to keep possession for the Hounds. He ran like a crazy person in front of a boisterous Loyola bench, then after the ball circled around, Evan Ja...

Inside Lacrosse Photo: Chris McNulty) There are four ways to examine Loyola's 11-9 win over Georgetown at the Ridley Athletic Complex on Thursday night: through a 10-year lens, through a three-month lens, through a 60-minute lens and through a 60-second lens. From 2008 through 2019, the Greyhounds won 11-of-12 matchups in the series, through the one-sided nature was reflected in the final scores — eight of those games were decided by two goals or fewer, including 2011’s epic four-OT matchup. It’s an important game for both programs, Jesuit universities in the Mid-Atlantic with a lot of ...
