"As a former captain (James Madison), Hanna brings leadership and organizational skills to her role as our operations intern," Graap said. :She carries herself with the confidence of a national champion, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have her on staff."

When Kathy Taylor took over the Le Moyne women’s lacrosse team in 2015, she often spoke of reaching the top of the mountain. Together, she and the players worked hard on the ground every fall in preparation for their annual climb in the spring. And after a few seasons of getting close to the top, they finally reached the summit in 2018. Maybe that’s why the announcement that Taylor would be leaving the program for Colgate this past June came as such a shock.

[Alyssa] Treanor (Niskayuna) previously served as an assistant coach with the Dutchwomen from 2016-18. In her first season with the team in 2016, Union was ranked as high as 18th nationally and posted an 8-1 mark in Liberty League play.
One of the many things that separated the PLL from other leagues was the implementation of new rules such as the 52 second shot clock and a shorter field. As the inaugural season kicked off, many wondered how the new league with new rules would look and how it would affect the outcomes and stats of each game.
Now with the inaugural season in the books and the Whipsnakes being crowned the Champions, here is a breakdown of the 2019 season by the numbers. We added charts and graphs to visualize the data.

Where last year, Marist really found its identity late in the season, pushing its way to a MAAC championship and an NCAA Tournament berth, it feels like a team ready to hit the ground running, confident and sure of its identity at this point in 2019.
Lyle Thompson's story, narrated by Notah Begay III. From living without running water and electricity to being the most dominant lacrosse player on the planet, Lyle Thompson has had a unique trajectory.
Selected second overall by the Knighthawks in the 2019 NLL Entry Draft, Rees spent the past four seasons at Stony Brook University (NCAA), where he totaled 15 goals and seven assists for 22 points in addition to 164 ground balls in 51 career games for the Seawolves.

The Onondaga Nation built its beautiful state-of-the-art Fieldhouse back in 2015, finished just in time to host the FIL Box Lacrosse Championships. In what seems like the blink of an eye, here we are four years later, another (now World Lacrosse) Box Championship complete.
DENVER — With 7:52 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Major League Lacrosse championship game Sunday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, Ryan Lee received a pass from Kyle Pless in transition, shot and scored, giving the Denver Outlaws a 9-8 lead over the Chesapeake Bayhawks. It was Denver’s first lead of the game and its sixth consecutive goal since the start of the second half.
For the Bayhawks players, however, it wasn’t time to panic; it was just time to dig deeper.
WAER News stopped by the fourth Haudenosaunee Wooden Stick Festival last weekend at Onondaga Lake Park to learn more about the roots of lacrosse and its role in Native American Culture.

There may still be months to wait until the 2020 lacrosse season officially begins, but on Saturday night in Cortland, two lacrosse powers went head-to-head in a fall scrimmage that felt like a late-spring matchup.
A large crowd was on hand to see the battle, which saw Denver and Syracuse play to a 15-15 tie. The Orange held a 15-11 lead late into the fourth quarter when the teams began subbing more freely.
The 27 year old prolific scoring attackman led the MLL in scoring with 73 points on the season (46 goals, 27 assists) in 15 games played. His performance helped lead the Bayhawks to a 10-6 record and the top spot in the standings heading into the playoffs.

The Syracuse men's lacrosse team begins their fallball slate on Saturday at Cortland with a much anticipated scrimmage against Denver. Here's five things to know about the matchup:
From mid-September through October, your favorite teams return to the field for a period of self-discovery. New rules are in play, freshmen and transfers look to make their mark, coaches emphasize skills and teambuilding, players returning from injuries try to shake off the rust and we get to ruminate on what it all means when the real games start in the spring.
It seems like there has been more and more negative news about officiating and people recently leaving the avocation for a myriad of reasons. Low pay, time commitment, sportsmanship issues and other issues. While there is definitely validity to those issues (some more so than others), here is why I think more people should say yes to officiating and become an official.
“May is earned in September.” It’s one of the mottos the Syracuse lacrosse team follows as the players work out during the first month of fall, scrimmage against each other, bond and plan ahead to the regular season and the quest to return to the Final Four for the first time since 2013.
Syracuse rebounded from a disappointing 2018 season with a top-five season and NCAA Quarterfinal appearance — defying uncharacteristically low expectations with a No. 11 preseason ranking. The Orange are aiming higher in 2020.
Hobart Hall of Famer Tom Grimaldi is a native of Corning, New York, a western New York lacrosse hotbed. He helped Hobart win four straight national championships during his playing days for the Statesmen. He also earned All-American honors, Attackman of the Year, and National Player of the Year. He is a member of the Hobart and William Smith Colleges Athletic Hall of Fame. Grimaldi played for Hall of Fame coach Dave Urick who is been inducted this weekend into the inaugural class of the Cortland State Cradle of Coaches Hall of Fame. We unpacked is Grimaldi's oral history today on the Fred Opie Show.

Welcome to the wood shop, everybody. Today, we’re going to talk about the LASNAI Sportsmanship Award. So, I was talking to Conor Wilson, and I wanted to see if there was anything that he needed one of my sticks for, because I’m not actually making it to LASNAI this year.

ALBANY — Back to normal. Months out from his team’s first game of the 2020 season, that’s how University at Albany men’s lacrosse head coach Scott Marr views the status of his program after a couple weeks of fall practices.
I first met Jim Onacki when he transferred from OCC to Oswego State back around 1980 or so. It might have been my sophomore or even junior year; not exactly certain.
What I do remember still – after almost 40 years – are the laughs… and maybe the best example of a true team player I’ve ever met. That sounds very clichéd, but if you know Jim, you also know that I’m not exaggerating one bit.

“Much like the Iroquois, we wanted gold,” coach Regy Thorpe said. “Canada and Iroquois are tough. Iroquois is chasing Canada and we’re chasing both of them. Then other teams are starting to chase us. Everyone is getting better.”
After a well-deserved summer, college lacrosse teams have reconvened to start the academic year. Every team has some new faces in brand new places, while a couple of teams begin to adjust to Division I life. Most programs will play against other teams or against their alumni during the fall, but those games won’t count toward their record. It’s a way to get better at lacrosse as well as getting to know personnel and new styles of play.
Section Five was well represented in the 2019 Men's Indoor World Championships in September. Penn Yan Head Coach, Brian Hobart, sent along an alumni snapshot taken after the USA team look the bronze medal.
The 1972 Hobart College lacrosse team will be inducted into the US Lacrosse Greater Rochester Hall of Fame on Nov. 1, 2019. The celebration will be held at the Burgundy Basin Inn in Pittsford, N.Y., beginning at 6 p.m. with a social hour followed by dinner and the presentation of the inductees.

As soon as the buzzer sounded in Langley Events Centre — signaling the end of the U.S. national team’s 17-3 win over the Czech Republic — there were reminders of what’s to come.
The allowance for free movement by players on a whistle or stoppage of play has been approved for the US Lacrosse Girls’ Youth Rules, beginning in 2020, consistent with the change that was approved earlier for the high school girls’ lacrosse rules in 2020.
Two coaches who've combined for 657 wins, 12 NCAA titles and the two highest winning percentages of any active DI coaches will have their programs square off in a fall scrimmage hosted by SUNY Cortland on Saturday, Oct. 5.
Rochester Knighthawks General Manager and Vice President of Lacrosse Operations Dan Carey announced today that the team has agreed to two-year deals with forwards Matt Vangalen, Bradley Voigt and Alec Simons; defensemen Dustyn Pratt, Sean Darroch and Tyler Biles; and transition players Carter Badour, Thomas Whitty and Cory Highfield.

Just over a year ago, fifth year senior Mike Dedvukaj and Kyle Dizon ‘21 were just teammates on the lacrosse team. Today, they are partners in a streetwear clothing brand with aspirations to land on the shelves of retailers such as Urban Outfitters and Pacsun.
I visited three programs in the early stages of the nontraditional season. Each coaching staff was in different years in their tenure at their respective schools. The subtle contrast in style was a reflection of that. Like all collegiate coaches, these three staffs led with their heart and were passionate about their student-athletes. These two values are the common thread between all collegiate coaches across the country.
In a unique edition of Lacrosse Classified, Evan and Jake are taping at the same location for the first time ever as they are both at the World Indoor Lacrosse Championships in Langley, BC. Jim Scherr and Blaze Riorden join us on the show.

"We are excited to add this group of young men to the program, they represent the growth of lacrosse hailing from eight different states and two provinces," Miyashita said. "Throughout the recruiting process, each of their lacrosse talent was demonstrated on the field, but more importantly their character and commitment to being a student-athlete and a positive member to the Canisius community showed. Our staff and returners look forward to having them on the field and making contributions to the program for the next four years."
LANGLEY, British Columbia — The United States put up its best offensive showing of the tournament in a 22-3 victory over England at the World Indoor Lacrosse Championship on Monday evening.
The most veteran player on the U.S. offense with seven years of NLL experience, Resetarits is the leader of the unit. He’s the straw that stirs the drink. His vision and skilled passing have helped U.S. shooters earn better looks at the cage game after game.
