UD beat Colgate in a scrimmage over the weekend 7-5. Seriously, lacrosse in January??

Albany is coming off a terrible year, but we have a ton of young talent, including the most highly touted freshman we've certainly ever had any perhaps that there has ever been in lacrosse.

Lyle Thompson



Lyle and his brother and cousins have started an Iroquois pipeline from Central NY to Albany. Pretty cool to see these guys, whose ancestors actually invented the game, flying around with their long traditional braid.

Hey, it'll be over 60 degrees here for the next two days. January ain't like it used to be.

First game of the season this past Saturday. UD overcame a sluggish first half & dropped 12 3rd quarter goals on Detroit Mercy in a 19-6 rout. Was Coach Shillinghaw's 300th career victory - making him only the 3rd active coach to hit that milestone.

On the road against Bucknell this week - good matchup between nationally-rnaked teams & playoff participants from last year.

StonyBrook hosts Princeton this Saturday in a scrimmage.We open the season on the road at Fairfield on the 18th and then at Virginia on the 25th. Let the lax season begin!

Albany took down Towson 11-10 in the first scrimmage thanks to the Thompson family....

Miles Thompson - five goals, one assist
Ty Thompson - two goals, one assist
Lyle Thompson - one goal, three assists

Are you going to change your mascot to Redskins?

Pretty impressive stats there.

If traditional results mean anything, there's a pretty steep dropoff after #8.

And of course, as a Delaware fan, I'll make mention that the CAA coaches picked Delaware over UMass, Hofstra, and Penn State in the preseason coaches poll. We are, after all, the two-time defending CAA champions.

My, my how the times have changed. This would be rock bottom for Towson lax. Here's to hoping Coach Nads can bring us back to the final four caliber team that he was on.

Whatever little bit of karma Towson State had has transferred to the football team. The men's basketball and lax teams will suffer accordingly.

The basketball team has sucked MUCH MUCH longer than the football team. 16 seasons worth of it.

StonyBrook opens it season this Saturday at Fairfield Univ. It will be a rebuilding year for the Seawolves.

It'll be interesting to see how Michigan does moving to varsity from club.


Owned the "club league" for years.

#19 Delaware went on the road to defeat #12 Bucknell 11-10 in OT.

Hens led throughout, up 6-3 at the half & built a 10-5 lead and then the Bisom scored 5 unanswered to send it to OT. UD netted the gaame winner with 5 seconds left in OT to goto 2-0 on the season. Next up this weekend a trip down 95 to take on Loyola(MD).

holy shit towson's new helmets are awesome!

So everyone loses, it takes three days, and they play Ol Dixie before every match?

+6.93!

Towson plays Hoplins tomorrow @5pm. It will be on ESPN3/ESPN-U.

I don't like playing the BlueJays early like this. This is the second year in a row. We usually end the regular season against them.
