The Northeast-10 Conference opener is three days later, Saturday, February 29, vs. Saint Michael's.
ALBANY — A short memory is a valuable part of a goalie’s mindset, but for UAlbany men’s lacrosse senior Nate Siekierski, the way the 2019 season ended — both for himself and the Great Danes — remains fresh in his mind.
Oswego High School head varsity coach Doc Nelson and I attended LaxCon 2020 last weekend in Philadelphia. We arrived early Friday afternoon and had decided ahead of time that we would skip Sunday morning’s offerings, and head for home late Saturday afternoon. It was a short trip, then, but, as always, we were glad we went.
It doesn’t matter when you score your goals, it’s how many you score and whether it’s more than the opposition that counts. The latter two were exactly what the Buffalo Bandits needed in their 10-8 victory over the Toronto Rock at KeyBank Center before a crowd of 12,026 on Saturday evening.
(Philadelphia, PA) – A night after celebrating the franchise’s historic first win, the Rochester Knighthawks (1-5) were unable to duplicate the effort Sunday night at Wells Fargo Center, where the Philadelphia Wings (4-2) scored seven power-play goals on their way to a 12-4 win in the weekend finale between the two teams.
At its Thursday night meeting, the Board of Education voted to allow Superintendent of Schools Jay Lebrun and Board President Leisa Boise to sign the application. "PHS will host but administrative support from Peru Central, Beekmantown Central and Saranac Central is expected," the item read.
ALBANY — For nearly all of the team’s fall-ball season, UAlbany men’s lacrosse senior Jakob Patterson was sidelined with a knee injury. That provided him with plenty of opportunity to watch his teammates in action. He liked what he saw.
IL's Preseason MAAC Player of the Year - Logan Shamblin, G, Detroit Mercy

It’s almost here! The 2020 season begins in less than two weeks and everyone at the site is really excited to get this party started. To kick off the new season, Jake, Ryan, Adam, & I got together over the weekend to tape our 2020 College Crosse Preseason Top 20 podcast.

With the PLL Expansion Draft around the corner, head coaches of the original six clubs were required to submit their protected rosters Monday by 5pm ET. Here is a breakdown of who was and was not protected.
In a down year for the Great Danes, Patterson was still the league’s best player. He earned conference Player of the Year honors with a balanced 57 points (25G, 32A). He’s clearly the top offensive force in the league, and with opinions out of the Capital Region suggesting that the Danes will bounce back from a disappointing season, expect his point production to go up.

Establishing a winning culture within an expansion franchise is a slow and steady process. And while the new Rochester Knighthawks may not win the race to the NLL Cup in their first NLL season, the team’s patient approach of improving game-by-game could still bring their city, one with a rich lacrosse history, a championship in the coming years.
(Toronto, ON) – A thrilling back-and-forth offensive battle between the Rochester Knighthawks (0-4) and Toronto Rock (3-1) came down to the final minute with the Knighthawks ultimately coming up a goal short in a 13-12 loss to the Rock Saturday at Scotiabank Arena.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- One of the attributes that has earned Drake Porter the position as starting goalie for the Syracuse lacrosse team is his knack of quickly getting over bad goals he allows.
He has something of a personal 10-second rule. If he’s upset about an opposing score, he keeps his stewing to that time frame and then moves on.
The Buffalo Bandits’ first game of the 2020 calendar year will be a matchup of two teams looking to bounce back and return to the win column.

Faceoff is at 7 p.m.
The 2020 men’s lacrosse season could turn into one of high expectations as Desko has one of his most talented and deep rosters in years, including a new player willing to take on the legendary No. 22.
As the longest-tenured draftee of the Bandits (selected 21st overall in the 2009 NLL Draft), Priolo embarks on his 11th season as the most consistent defenseman in the league. Yes, he has been a bridesmaid six times as the runner-up for Defenseman of the Year honors, and, yes, he is one of the fiercest competitors out on the turf, but it’s the burning desire to share his undeniable passion and knowledge of the game with each and every teammate. He wants them to be better.
