When Daniel Witmer decided he wanted to created a "Best of" collection from his over 350 weekly Road Trip Dad blogs, he knew there were a variety of themes from which he could choose, including parenting tips or rule changes in the game, but ultimately for his first book there was a specific experience he wanted to highlight.
It’s Friday afternoon and like most people, Mike Manley and Kylor Bellistri are looking forward to a weekend away from the office, a chance to blow off a little steam after a long workweek. But unlike many of their friends, Manley and Bellistri won’t be going to the beach or the mountains. They have second jobs that require weekend work.
Both are professional lacrosse players.
Record-setting Rob Pannell took home the Coca-Cola Most Valuable Player Award from Major League Lacrosse to highlight the league's awards ceremony on Friday night from Charleston, S.C., on the eve of the league's championship game.
Offensive PotY Award
John Galloway won eight-of-nine starts for the Rattlers this season, and prior to the loss against New York on July 29, he had won 11 consecutive regular season games dating back to July 16, 2017. The defensive field general finished the season with a 12.90 goals-against-average (GAA) helping lead the Rattlers to the franchise’s best-ever regular season record.
“It’s been a hell of a summer,” said Galloway. “I was hoping it would end with this opportunity this weekend. Fortunate enough to have a lot of chips fall how they have, and now we’ve got to finish it off.”
The ideal teammate, the one who has your back, is a consummate professional and puts the team and others before himself is an apt description for Maverik’s Players Choice Award. This award, voted on by players only, also describes the Boston Cannons’ Mitch Belisle.
After the U.S. women’s national team won a gold medal at the 2017 FIL Women’s World Cup in England, it was headed to Poland to vie for another gold at the World Games – but in a different way. Instead of 12, only 10 players per team were allowed on the field at a time. That called for a shift in roles, especially for defenders converting to midfielders, to accommodate the new format.

“He’s been through the whole cycle of Cornell lacrosse,” said Connor Buczek, a Cornell star from 2012-15 and now an assistant. “He was there when we were ultra-successful. He was there when we weren’t as successful. He took everything that he believes in. He’s a down-to-earth hardworking guy and he understood how we did things.”

The US Lacrosse communications staff covered the tryouts, which marked a homecoming of sorts for head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller. The longtime coach at Northwestern played on three U.S. World Cup teams, earning Federation of International Lacrosse All-World Team honors in 2005 and helping the Americans win the cup in 1997 and 2005.
This year, Lake Placid grew a major branch of its family tree. It was the first year that there was a Women’s Masters Division (30+). 7v7 was the name of the game and it took place on a shorter field with college rules. I was lucky enough to get in on the action and play for Laxified, a team started up by Lake Placid legend Lyn Reitenbach. (Side note, Lyn has played in every Lake Placid Tournament, which makes her more of an absolute boss than she already is.)
Along with the play of his wings, including Joel White (Cortland HS) and Jack Near, [Drew] Simoneau (Nazareth) helped Dallas lead the league in faceoff winning percentage (55.3). Second in the league in winning percentage was Denver (54.4). Second-year pro Max Adler led the Outlaws faceoff unit, finishing third in the league with a .57.7 winning percentage.

Additionally, John Lade (Syracuse University) and Randy Staats (OCC, Syracuse University).

Less than two weeks before their matchup in the semifinals, the New York Lizards beat the Dallas Rattlers by one goal, ending both their seven-game unbeaten streak and their undefeated record at home. The No. 1 seed in the MLL playoffs, however, would not allow the Lizards to repeat the feat.
Dallas outscored the Lizards 6-1 in the first quarter and beat New York, 15-12.

The 2018 LASNAI official notice has been served, but this is no normal tournament announcement, and it isn’t just about dates and times… far from it! This announcement does cover all the basics, but there is so much more. We’ve been waiting to drop all this info for a while now, and it’s time.
It’s 2018 LASNAI time.
Playing together under then-head coach Ricky Fried for the 2017 U.S. gold medalists, they became accustomed to a systematic approach that focused on the team, rather than the individual. Former college stars, like Tumolo, who was once a standout attacker at Syracuse, learned to adjust their roles to fit the unit’s needs. The relationships they formed mattered most – between teammates and from player to coach – and both Tumolo and Wills plan to employ that same philosophy as first-time Division I head coaches at Wagner and Harvard, respectively.
Vestal senior Amada Fedor’s selection to the second team among small schools was highest of Section 4 players. University of North Carolina recruit Fedor helped the Golden Bears to their seventh straight sectional title in the spring.

The process started with more than 500 applicants. Just over 100 hundred of them were invited to tryouts. By Sunday afternoon, 36 of the nation’s best young women’s lacrosse players sat in their chairs at US Lacrosse headquarters as U.S. U19 Head Coach Kelly Amonte Hiller congratulated them for making the 2019 U.S. training team.
Seemingly everyone (including myself) started voicing opinions for what these changes meant, didn’t mean, celebrated, complained, etc. into the void that is social media. Eventually the NCAA released their official story on the topic. But what does this actually mean? Take the rules piece by piece and see how it may impact the game.
Junior attack Morgan Schwab, Fairport HS and Monster Elite, and middie Amanda Cramer of Fayetteville-Manlius and Outlaw Ladies will represent Upstate on the training team.
A 90-minute, introductory lacrosse experience for kids who have never played before, but are thinking they might want to.

SAKSATOON, SK - Stephen Stamp (IL Indoor) In a game of runs, Canada had one more run in them than the Iroquois did. The result was a 15-10 win and a gold medal at the World Junior Lacrosse Championship.
Dan Fuller was a good long-stick midfielder on a very good Baldwinsville High School team. He played two years of varsity lacrosse as the Bees had some of their most successful seasons in recent history. He earned Honorable Mention All-League honors this past May, and graduated in June . . .
. . . But for two days in Lake Placid last week, Dan experienced something pretty special. He got to play four games in the Men’s 18+ Gold division with the Burning Orange team, playing alongside a number of former Syracuse University alums whom he had idolized growing up.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The West Genesee boys lacrosse program will have a bridge from its storied past into its uncertain future.
Wildcats lacrosse legend Charlie Lockwood has agreed to join the new coaching staff as a volunteer assistant coach. Lockwood, a 1990 graduate of West Genesee, was an all-American at that school and then at Syracuse University.
Alex Krawec (ESM / Le Moyne) heard a snap and a pop, and then he fell to the ground. The last thing he remembers was looking down and seeing his right leg bent all the way to the left. He picked it up and dropped it back down; it was completely limp.
