2019 Wildcat Pepper Tournament
July 27 - 28 / West Genesee High School / Camillus NY
Although I can’t admit that I planned it this way, I realized last night that, in just the past five weeks, I have participated in at least five different lacrosse tournaments.
No big deal, right? I can hear you parents out there saying, “Welcome to my world,” or maybe, “Five? Pah! That’s nothing!”
Since 2002 the John Pepper Lacrosse Tournament has brought the finest lacrosse to Camillus and the West Genesee High School complex. This years tournament will take place at West Genesee High School on Saturday, August 3rd and Sunday August 4th.

Congrats to the 2022 Gold on wining a championship as well as the 2022 Blue Team for another undefeated weekend. Lots of awesome play this weekend from Power teams! @CapDistrictLax@JustLacrosse
Several nonprofits – fueled by the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation – joined forces to create the lending program, which allows children with a library card to borrow a duffel bag stuffed with either youth-sized soccer or lacrosse equipment. Each of the 40 bags, split evenly between the sports, also includes cones to set up games.
There were hockey-style faceoffs, goalies calming down celebrations to jump start clears, long-pole goals and even a pair of tallies from goalie Blaze Riorden, reminding fans he plays the field as an indoor player.
1. Paul Rabil’s around the world dime
I heard this pass was No. 2 on SportsCenter Top 10. I’m not sure what the No. 1 play was, but I’m assuming that Andrew Benintendi must have leapt 37 feet high to rob a home run in front of the Green Monster. Anything less than that is certainly not greater than this.
Graham Bundy Jr. (MICDS, Mo.) Patrick Hackler (Skaneateles) and Jack Monfort (Syosset, N.Y.) were all top-scoring midfielders on their high school teams. In this setting, however, they’re dogs.
“In every case, there’s a grit about them,” Myers said.
Colgate assistant coach John Crawley will join Kevin Cassese's staff at Lehigh, multiple sources tell IL. He'll fill a vacancy created when Tom Compitello left the Mountain Hawks to join Andy Shay's staff at Yale.
“It’s an absolute dream come true,” said Staats. “Ever since I was a little kid, I dreamt of being a professional lacrosse player. I’m honored to have won this award for my family, my team and for the fans in San Diego.”
The National Lacrosse League (NLL) recognized Georgia Swarm forward Lyle Thompson with 2018-19 NLL All-Pro First Team Honors and transition player Brendan Bomberry with 2018-19 NLL All-Rookie Team Honors.
We have been giving you continuous updates on Ryan Maloney and his tragic accident. We reached out to Cornell head coach Peter Milliman to give us an update on Ryan and how he is as a team player.
You, the fans, have spoken. All over the world, people logged onto their computers and cast their votes for the 2019 Premier Lacrosse League All-Star Game.
Matt Rambo and Trevor Baptiste were elected captains, the field of players was set, and Team Rambo and Team Baptiste were formed. Now, on Sunday, July 21st at 5pm PT, the best of the best will face off. Here’s what to watch for:
Bruce Cohen unpacks his lacrosse journey and oral history from Baldwin, New York on Long Island to Cornell and back to the Island. Cohen had a distinguished career in sales and marketing. His encore career has been as a "lacrosse whisperer."
LOUDONVILLE, NY – Fresh off their appearance in the MAAC Championship game, the Siena women's lacrosse program and head coach Abigail Rehfuss have reloaded for another run in 2019-20 as they announced their 10 NLI signings and one walk-on addition for the upcoming fall. The class features many New York state products, and one New Jersey native to add to the mix of current Saints.
The NLL today announced that Buffalo Bandits goaltender Matt Vinc has been selected as the league’s Goaltender of the Year. The award was voted on by team executives from each franchise that participated in the 2018-19 season.
This All-Star Game we’ll be implementing 2 rules to encourage creativity & speed.
In Q2, after a goal, the goalie will take the ball out of the net and clear. Ex: @NBA
In Q3, instead of a faceoff, teams will compete for possession using a ball drop. Ex. @NHL puck drop

The Auburn boys lacrosse program, which has welcomed kids from Pre-K to 12th grade over the last two weeks, held its annual Maroon vs. White scrimmage to wrap up its summer session at Holland Stadium Wednesday.
The WPLL is pleased to announce the 2019 WPLL playoff schedule. At the conclusion of the regular season the top four WPLL teams will travel to Yale University’s Reese Stadium (New Haven, CT) on July 26th to play in the semi-finals, with the two winners moving on to the 2019 WPLL Championship game at US Lacrosse Headquarters in Sparks, MD on July 28th.
When the U.S. indoor training team met for two events last fall, the imperative from coach Regy Thorpe and his staff was to get players into the National Lacrosse League, so they could learn from the best in the box.
While U.S. vets like Brett Manney, Kevin Buchanan, Greg Downing, Joel White and Joe Resetarits had NLL experience, most of the player pool lacked indoor bona fides.
Rising sophomore Skylar McArthur has been named to the final roster for the Canadian National Team heading into the 2019 Women's Lacrosse U19 World Championship in Peterborough, Ontario, as announced by the Canadian Lacrosse Association.
The Northstar Invitational, hosted by Summit Lacrosse Ventures (SLV), was established in 2012 as a premier developmental and exposure opportunity, one of the first of its kind for young, high-level, female student athletes. The eighth annual 2019 Northstar Invitational will be held in just under two weeks, July 29-August 1, at the historic Northwood School in Lake Placid, New York.
Head coach Nick Myers and his staff made the selections following a three-day tryout weekend involving 50 players that concluded at US Lacrosse headquarters on Sunday.
Sutton Boland (Victor) and Patrick Hackler (Skaneateles) make the final cut.
The long-standing boys lacrosse rivalry between the Oswego and Fulton high school communities will look to add another wrinkle during the annual Oswego Harborfest weekend.
The Buccaneers and Red Raiders have scheduled an alumni lacrosse game for noon on July 27 at Oswego High School’s Wilbur Field, open to all former players from each program.
The camp is open to members of the class of 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022! The camp will run from 10 a.m.- to 4 p.m. The cost is $60 per camper if registered by July 19, 2019. On site or registration from July 20-25, 2019 is $100.
Former Canisius standout Dan Coates '11 has been named to the Canadian Men's Indoor Lacrosse Team for the upcoming World Indoor Lacrosse Championship (WILC), the Canadian Lacrosse Association (CLA) and the Canadian Men's Indoor National Team coaching staff recently announced.
“Looking at this award, I like to think it’s an example of my teachings, the way my father taught me to play the game and the way my culture instilled the teachings of the game and respecting yourself, your opponent, and the game and everything that comes with it on and off the floor,” Thompson said.
With the 2019 college lacrosse season complete, it’s time to look back at how all 73 teams did during the season, along with an early look at each squad for 2020.
(Rochester, NY) – Rochester Knighthawks General Manager and Vice President of Lacrosse Operations Dan Carey announced today that the team has acquired forward Turner Evans from the San Diego Seals in exchange for defenseman Shane Simpson, pending approval from the National Lacrosse League.
The NLL today announced that Buffalo Bandits Head Coaches Rich Kilgour and John Tavares have been named the recipients of the Les Bartley Award, which is awarded to the NLL’s Top Head Coach at the conclusion of each season. The award was voted on by team executives from each franchise that participated in the 2018-19 season.
[Jared] Conners (Sr., Pittsford) was a first-team All-American after scoring five goals, dishing one assist, picking up 57 ground balls and causing 27 turnovers. Conners notched six ground balls in the NCAA title game against Yale. He also scored a goal and caused three turnovers in the ACC title game against Notre Dame, efforts that landed Conners on the All-ACC Tournament team.
Boston, MA - The teams are set! The players eligible for the draft were selected by the fans through an All-Star fan vote. Voting closed Monday, July 8th. This past weekend captains, Rob Pannell and Lyle Thompson jumped on a call to draft their teams. Pannell and Thompson each selected 20 fellow All-Stars in the MLL All-Star Draft. The rosters are:
During her four years at Syracuse, the Orange went 59-28 overall, including 16 victories in the Atlantic Coast Conference, two appearances in the ACC championship game, and four NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the Final Four in 2016.
A midfielder, who specialized in draw controls, Cross amassed 16 points and 12 goals during her career to go with 82 draw controls in 60 contests.
The NLL today announced that Buffalo Bandits General Manager Steve Dietrich has been selected as the league’s General Manager of the Year. The award was voted on by team executives from each franchise that participated in the 2018-19 season. This marks the second time that Dietrich has won the award, after also being tapped as the league’s top general manager in 2016.
Lacrosse historians are likely to remember 2019 as a landmark season. At the college level, the dive was made legal once again, and a standard, hard-and-fast shot clock was implemented. While the details of each new rule might get tweaked a little in the next few years, many people agreed that “they” finally got it right . . .
. . . But before we turn our attention to fall ball, freshmen who will make an impact, the announcement of team captains, and 2020 strength of schedule, let’s give credit to a different rule change that – in my opinion – might be one of the best, but most under-the-radar rule changes we’ve seen in a long while.
Faller, who grew up in suburban Rochester and graduated from the University at Buffalo, is perhaps best known for leading the Panthers to back-to-back state championships and unbeaten seasons in football in 2008 and 2009. Under his tutelage, the football and boys lacrosse teams at Sweet Home personified excellence as he guided them to a combined 14 Section VI titles and 590 wins.
“The outpouring of love and encouragement has been overwhelmingly touching and instrumental in aiding Ryan’s battle to get as healthy as possible!” said the Maloney family on the GoFundMe page.
This is the SweetLax Upstate 2020 and 2021 preview for the 2019 NLF Club National Championships. We’ll be profiling some of the top players from every 2020 AA and 2021 AA teams who will be in attendance.

Between @mPinoe inspiring my daughter to do good to the head coach @ArmyWP_MLax giving one of the beat speeches I’ve heard to a group of 9/10/11 year old campers, it has been a good week for setting the bar high! (This is but a snippet of a speech that was awesome. ????) pic.twitter.com/6QoXqmalZr
[Stephen] Brundage, a West Genesee and Loyola grad who grew up an hour away from Geneva, worked alongside Hobart head coach Greg Raymond on the staff at Drexel and Princeton. The rumor had been heard over the past few weeks, as the two are very close friends.
Boston, MA - Lyle Thompson (LaFayette/Albany) of the Chesapeake Bayhawks and Rob Pannell (Cornell) of the New York Lizards have been named captains for the 2019 Major League Lacrosse All-Star Game. Both players will participate in an All-Star Draft to determine the teams for the 18th MLL All-Star Game. The rosters will be announced Monday, July 15th.
ROCHESTER, NY – The RIT men's lacrosse team enjoyed another outstanding season in 2019, finishing with a 20-2 record. The Tigers won their eighth straight Liberty League championship, and advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament for the tenth straight season and 21st time in program history. RIT advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the third straight season and the ninth time in 10 seasons and won at least 20 games for the fifth time in the last six years.
The 2019 RIT women's lacrosse team finished the season with six wins, narrowly missing out competing in the Liberty League Tournament. Four Tigers were selected to the All-Liberty League squad, while nine were selected to the Liberty League All-Academic Team for maintaining a 3.30 cumulative grade point average.
The second round of the tryout process for the 2020 U.S. Men’s U19 team will be highlighted by a Blue-White exhibition game on the final day of the three-day session which runs from July 12-14.
The Blue-White exhibition will be held on Sunday, July 14 at 10 a.m. on Tierney Field at US Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md. The exhibition game is the only session of the tryout process that will be open to the public free of charge. All other sessions are for team and staff personnel only.
Today show is a reboot of an interview with Rochester Native Danielle Spencer. Last month, Stanford University hired her away from Dartmouth as it new women’s lacrosse coach. Spencer had served as an Assistant coach at Stanford in 2012. Spencer had been at Dartmouth for three years. She earned Ivy League Coach of the Year in each of her final two seasons. This past season, Spencer guided Dartmouth to an Ivy League title and a NCAA post-season tournament appearance for the first time since 2013.
With both kids in college, and despite a demanding professional career, he decided to give the stripes a try. I ran into him recently and asked if he was enjoying his new role. “I quit,” he responded.
He explained that life was too short to endure the abuse that regularly spewed from the mouths of coaches, parents and, at times, the young players themselves.
Francesca Argentieri, Westhill, 2022: Argentieri stood strong in the net for Upstate and made some crucial saves to earn All-Tournament honors. She has very quick hands and stands tall in goal.
Honored to play with @RedhawkLax again this season. Grateful for the opportunity and the support from the community for our squad. Good luck to the @Allegany_Arrows and the rest of the @CanAmLax teams still battling. Go get that Presidents Cup! pic.twitter.com/LLKjIWXmqv
The number of Orange starring in professional lacrosse is as high as ever, with five 'Cuse alums earning All-Star Game nods across both leagues, including the most selections of any college in the MLL.
There is one common theme throughout the 2019 All-Bee Girls Lacrosse First Team: All nine athletes and the Coach of the Year represent four schools that either played in or won a championship game this spring.
A dominant run in world lacrosse circles has been led by some amazing players, including 2011 Tewaaraton Award winner Shannon Smith and four future U.S. World Cup champions — Sarah Bullard, Ally Carey, Kayla Treanor and Acacia Walker.
“We are excited to have such a talented group of athletes with tremendous depth to represent Canada this year,” said head coach Scott Teeter. “With the World Championship taking place on home soil, we know there will be great Canadian support from the fans to help us along our journey to defend our world title. As the 2015 gold medalists, we know there’s a bullseye on Team Canada’s back—but we’re ready for the challenge.”
Parents, please, when we say that play has been suspended due to bad weather, don’t ignore us when we ask you to move off the fields and go to your cars (or a covered structure, like Albany’s football stadium or the brand new pavilion at Saratoga’s Gavin Park). A pop-up tent sitting under some trees is not a safe place. Two teenaged boys were killed by lightning in Pennsylvania last month; according to some brief research, there are approximately 43 lightning fatalities each year, and July is the deadliest month.
With the 1st overall pick, the Rochester Knighthawks selected Shawn Evans from the Buffalo Bandits. The New York Riptide followed by picking Jordan Durston from the Bandits as their first selection in the 2019 Expansion Draft.
From Joe Walters - Irondequoit HS / Maryland / NLL / MLL / Team USA / Redwoods LC
I am VERY excited to announce the PLL Training Event that I have set up in Rochester. Being my hometown, there's a sense of pride when setting this event up. I put together a "heavy hitter" group of athletes to come to town for this event. This is a specialized training event. Each training group is separate; you may sign up for 1 only. The format is a 90 minute large group session, followed immediately by a 60 minute small group session. The small group sessions are limited to 6 players only and get the opportunity to receive feedback and more specialized work in a small group setting. These 6 players attend both the large AND small group sessions (2.5 hours total).
On this week’s expansion draft special edition of Lacrosse Classified, Jake Elliott and Evan Schemenauer recap the NLL expansion draft and speak with both GM’s, Regy Thorpe of the New York Riptide and Dan Carey of the new Rochester Knighthawks. (1:17:45)
I was very pleased when first handed a Chrome roster to see that John (and Brett Queener) would likely be our starting goalie. While he had been in the goal for the gold medal-winning U.S. team in the 2018 world games, word was that he was going to retire on top of that hill. I don’t think John was the only of those U.S. players to have made some decision to semi-retire before deciding to give the PLL a try in this first year.
Chrome’s offense was firing on all cylinders this past weekend as they took down Chaos 19-11. While Jordan Wolf and Jordan MacIntosh combined for nine of the 19 goals, five players had multiple goals and a total of nine different players found the back of the net. When a team’s scoring is so spread out, it means two things: Chrome’s offensive personnel trust one another and they love the one-more pass.
The 2019 MAAC Rookie of the Year and a member of the 2019 College Crosse All-Freshman Team, [Jacob] Buck (Churchville-Chili) led Canisius in scoring with 44 points as he finished second on the team in both goals (30) and assists (14). The MAAC All-Rookie Team selection tallied multiple points on 13 occasions, including nine performances in which he recorded three points or more. The Churchville-Chili, N.Y., product was a four-time MAAC Rookie of the Week honoree during the 2019 regular season, the most among the conference's freshman class.
No one invests in lacrosse like Syracuse, the most successful college program in the sport’s history. The Orange has 10 NCAA Tournament titles (along with one vacated title) in men's lacrosse, the most of any college program. Syracuse's most recent title came in 2009.
Syracuse, N.Y. — Cicero-North Syracuse is looking for a new girls lacrosse coach after Lloyd Hamilton stepped down recently. Hamilton, 61, was the Northstars’ head girls coach for nine seasons, compiling a record of 96-62 and playing for a sectional championship three times in Class A.
ROCHESTER, NY -- Four members of the RIT men's lacrosse team were named to the 2019 Intercollegiate Men's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IMLCA) Division III All-American Team. Chandler Allen (Ilderon, Ontario/Medway), Walker Hare (Libertyville, IL/Libertyville), Cam Isaac (Webster Thomas) and Trevor Smyth (Orangeville, Ontario/The Kiski School) were all second team selections. All four men were previously named United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) First Team All-Americans in May.
West Seneca West 2020 attackman/midfielder Steve Lucas of Buffalo Lacrosse Academy has made a verbal commitment to play Division II lacrosse at Lake Erie College.
We would like to extend a big thank you to all players, coaches, parents and attending family members for creating a fun, safe and competitive environment throughout the entirety of the event. We'd also like to thank our sponsors, entire event staff, the Town of North Elba, and the Village of Lake Placid.
You could not have wrote a better start to the season for new head coach Matt Karweck and the Colgate Raiders. They went up to the Carrier Dome and upset Syracuse 12-9 in their season opener before beating Binghamton the next week.
The Sunday game from the Nation’s Capital was an offensive explosion. Each member of Chrome and Chaos came out to play, and the goals were spread out amongst some of the PLL’s top stars. Although last weekend resulted in an OT Chaos win, the rematch today was stunningly different.
Jerry Severino first played lacrosse in 1965, as a student at Fayetteville-Manlius High School in the Syracuse suburbs, at the urging of a football coach who told him he needed to stay in shape.
Cornell Alum and Hall of Famer Bob Rule is Native of Natick Massachusetts. Bob Rule left Massachusetts for Manhasset, New York as a high school sophomore where began playing lacrosse in 1964. He went on to play collegiate lacrosse at Cornell University for Hall Famer Richie Moreland then new Big Red Head Coach. Rule is the only player in Division I history to win national championships in two sports, lacrosse and hockey.
Gaffer Elite Lacrosse Club is having another standout year. Led by legendary Corning lacrosse coach, Bob Streeten, the Gaffer’s are playing lights out.
Chesapeake Bayhawks coach Dave Cottle is running out of superlatives to use when discussing the phenomenal performance of attackman Lyle Thompson. Already this season, Cottle has described Thompson as the “consummate teammate, a tremendous competitor and a true winner.” Cottle has noted that Thompson “hustles nonstop and plays with great energy and effort.”
