Lampson came to Elmira following a two-year stint as an assistant coach at traditional New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) power Colby College. While with the Mules, Lampson helped Colby be a constant presence in the national rankings, reaching as high as No. 3 in the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association poll (IWLCA). The Mules amassed a record of 24-11 during her tenure and earned a NESCAC title in 2017.

Back to work for the Bandits as they go into preparation for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Wings.
This will be one you won't want to miss. One, because Philly is bringing a talented and tough group of players to town, despite their 0-4 record. And two, it's BANDITS ALUMNI NIGHT, where many players from the past 27 seasons will be in town!

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The hottest ACC men’s lacrosse team at the end of the season now has another prize to target: a chance to play for the league tournament title on its home field.
In just two years at Oswego, Serron made his presence known. Serron still ranks No. 1 in both points and goals in a single-season for the Lakers. During his junior year, Serron recorded an astonishing 100 points, including 56 goals. Both remain the standard for Oswego men's lacrosse, but more impressively, less than 35 players have ever reached the 100-point plateau in the entirety of their careers. The two-time All-SUNYAC First Teamer was able to accomplish the feat in just one season and is one of just three players in program history to reach 100 points in a two-year career. His 188 career points is just 13 shy of the program record, set by fellow Hall of Famer and former teammate Ken Walker.
Team USA’s Joe Fletcher, one of the best defensemen in the world, seldom talks like it. He doesn’t look like it, either, his frail frame and hunchback stance often noted by his teammates and foes alike.
Um, Philadelphia, we have a problem.
In case you haven’t heard, we’ve got a fresh case of ignorance and insensitivity, racism and cultural disrespect in our lacrosse world. And this time, it originates from the world of “professionals,” not naïve children or biased fanatics.
Perfect timing to get the kids who start school ball ready to go for the season, which will begin right after. Ages 7-16 from 9:00-12:00 Monday – Friday. We have two big indoor fields at the Syracuse indoor sports center in Liverpool which will help us split the age groups up. Sign up soon if you plan to attend or forwarded it on to people who may have kids with interest.
An announcer for the National Lacrosse League lost his job after making a comment about a player’s hair that was deemed to be offensive based on the player’s race.
TROY, N.Y. - The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) women's lacrosse program begins the 2019 season on Wednesday, February 27, with a home game against SUNY Oneonta at Renwyck Field. This season marks the 16th season under Leslie DeLano '06G, the winning head coach in program history.
Updated: Pittsford midfielder Sammy Thomolaris signed his National Letter of Intent for Linestone this afternoon with family and teammates in attendance.
PHILADELPHIA— In-game announcer Shawny Hill and the Philadelphia Wings apologized on Sunday after he made racially insensitive remarks about Georgia Swarm forward Lyle Thompson. Hill called for Thompson's pony-tail to be cut during Georgia's 13-11 National Lacrosse League win at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night.
Thompson, from Onondaga Nation, N.Y., and his brothers Jerome and Miles all play for the Swarm and wear braided pony-tails in tribute to their Indigenous heritage.
League Statement:
The League and all of our Member Clubs have a zero tolerance policy for any derogatory or discriminatory statements made. The statements made by the Wings in arena host were inappropriate and the necessary disciplinary action will be taken swiftly.

The Livonia-Avon Lakers have a new Head Coach as Don Manard moves up from the Junior Varsity team.
A graduate of Irondequoit High School in 1999, Don was a four-year letter winner at Widener University as a goalie.
During Syracuse University lacrosse media day, Syracuse.com's Brent Axe talked with Austin Fusco, Jamie Trimboli and Stephen Rehfuss about what to expect in the 2019 season, what inspires them as lacrosse players and who they enjoy watching play on their own team.
STX and Inside Lacrosse are pleased to announce “The Season 2019,” a five-chapter multi-platform video and digital content series that will spotlight two of the sport’s most interesting programs: the historic Cornell Big Red men’s team, and the hard-charging Florida Gators’ women’s team.
Albany is still tops in the league, but the gap is closer than it has been in recent memory. The graduation of an impact class that included Tewaaraton finalist Connor Fields and several others, plus the departure of face-off specialist TD Ierlan leaves uncertainty around the Danes. Combine that with a lot of talent returning to a surging Vermont team, an experienced Stony Brook team, plus a UMBC team with one of DI’s best defenses, and it could be a battle for the top spot in the tournament.
Inside Lacrosse presents its NEC preseason rankings and all-conference team, as published in the Face-Off Yearbook. Coaches are surveyed for the Face-Off Yearbook all-conference teams, with the IL staff making final decisions.
As part of the groundbreaking "The Season 2018" project with STX and Inside Lacrosse, we sat down with Syracuse's Charlie Lockwood to talk about the legend of the No. 22. For the second straight year, the famed No. 22 will lay dormant at Syracuse, coach John Desko confirmed at the school's recent Media Day.
The Rochester Knighthawks fell 12-10 to the San Diego Seals Saturday night in the first-ever game at Pechanga Arena San Diego. The back-and-forth contest featured nine ties, as the Knighthawks battled right to the final whistle.
Lacrosse as we know it won’t fly in the Olympics.
And so perhaps the biggest obstacle in the way of the sport’s inclusion in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles — the FIL cleared a major hurdle Nov. 30 with provisional recognition by the IOC — is the need to develop a new discipline of the sport that’s faster in pace, shorter in length, more confined in space and limited in numbers.
Baldwinsville 2019 attackman Austin Bolton of Upstate Elite ULC Lacrosse Club has made a verbal commitment to play Division III lacrosse at Cabrini College.
The Syracuse men's lacrosse team opened their 2019 preseason on Wednesday, beginning with the team's annual media day.
The players met with numerous local affiliates before finishing the day with the preseason conditioning test. Head Coach John Desko, four-time ACC Coach of the Year, said that the day gave him 'pre-game jitters' as he embarks on his 21st season at the helm of the program. Hear what the legendary coach had to say at his first press conference of the year:
There are two starting spots up for grabs entering the spring. The first is the third starting attackman to join current starters Stephen Rehfuss (20 Gs, 28 As) and Nate Solomon (22 Gs, 15 As). The first person Desko mentioned was senior Brad Voigt (9 Gs, 5 As), who was the team’s man-up specialist and fourth attackman a year ago. He also brought up sophomore Owen Seebold (two shots in 10 games) and freshman Griffin Cook as guys that will probably see the field as well.
Syracuse, N.Y. -- As heated as the three-way race for the Syracuse lacrosse starting goalie job gets this spring, junior Drake Porter promises to approach it with a level head.
And that’s a developed personality trait that could separate Porter from the crowd.
The Rochester Knighthawks unveiled Military Appreciation Night jerseys today, which will be worn by the Knighthawks and Buffalo Bandits on Saturday, Jan. 26. For the fourth straight season, the players will wear special military-themed jerseys which will be auctioned off, with the net proceeds going to Veterans Outreach Center (VOC).
ELMIRA, N.Y. -- Elmira College head women's lacrosse coach Rebecca Lampson has announced the Soaring Eagles' 2019 spring schedule for her first season at the helm. The Soaring Eagles will play 17 games this year, including seven home contests.
Syracuse Lacrosse Alum and Hall of Famer Casey Powell grew up in Carthage, New York. He shares how lacrosse came to his community, and how he, his brothers, and neighborhood kids created a winning lacrosse culture out of what they observed from upstate New York powerhouse West Genesee High School and attending Syracuse University lacrosse games during the era of the Gait brothers.
The Bandits continued to play flawless lacrosse in their 13-4 victory over the Knighthawks last Saturday night. And that included Matt Vinc establishing a new save record in the NLL and the team tying a club record of lowest goals against in game.
It’s officially “Lacrosse Weekend” in Philadelphia with the US Lacrosse Convention (LaxCon) coming to the Pennsylvania Convention Center from Jan. 11-13 and the National Lacrosse League’s Philadelphia Wings hosting the Georgia Swarm for US Lacrosse Night at Wells Fargo Arena on Jan. 12.
ITHACA, N.Y. – Inside Lacrosse has announced its preseason predictions for the Ivy League and a trio of Big Red players – Jeff Teat, Jake McCulloch and Ryan Bray – have been named to the publication's Preseason All-Ivy Team, with Teat being chosen as its Ivy Player of the Year candidate. Cornell's three selections are second only to Yale's five, while Penn and Princeton both had a pair of players chosen to the list.
The networking event will take place between 3-4:30 p.m. at the Grupp Fireside Lounge on campus. The program is encouraging alumni to attend the event to meet with the current team and share insight on their respective careers and career paths. There will also be a panel discussion with general tips for internships, interviews and jobs as well as breakout sessions broken down by profession.
Canisius digital media graduate assistant Ryan Davis has been chosen to serve as team videographer for the 2020 US Lacrosse Men's U19 Team, head coach Nick Myers recently announced. Davis will serve on the support staff for Team USA when the squad takes part in the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) Men's U19 World Championship in Limerick, Ireland next summer.
PHILADELPHIA – The Niagara University women's lacrosse coaching staff is set to speak at the 2019 US Lacrosse National Convention (LaxCon) on Saturday, Jan. 12. Head coach Wendy Stone and assistants Amy Martin and Alice Mercer will be doing a presentation on "Odd Man Out" at 1 p.m. at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

After the Bulldogs topped the Big Red 11-8 on March 17, Cornell shocked much of the lacrosse world by blowing out Yale in the Ivy League Tournament, as Jeff Teat made them pay for playing him straight up. The Bulldogs’ national title likely intensified the rivalry, and the pair of rivals should be participating in bloodbaths against each other for years to come. Though teams like Princeton, Penn and Brown could be formidable, the stranglehold that Cornell and Yale have on the Ivy League the next two years looks sizable.
Syracuse, N.Y. -- The value of experience can be hard to define at times, and it will be put to the test again this season by the Syracuse lacrosse team.
Last Saturday in Buffalo, first-year Knighthawks defenseman/forward Darryl Robertson got to live out his dream of playing in the NLL. However, the 24-year-old Robertson wasn’t gifted his opportunity in the league; he earned it.
The Soaring Eagles will host their feathered foes from Hilbert on the turf at nearby Notre Dame Academy at 4:00 p.m. on February 27, for the first of eight home contests on the docket this spring. It marks the first all-time meeting between EC and the Hawks, members of the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) who reached the conference tournament semifinals a year ago.
ALBANY, N.Y. – Former University at Albany men’s lacrosse players already have posted a combined 59 points (28 goals) through the first month of play in the National Lacrosse League.
Three members of the Hobart College lacrosse team were named to Inside Lacrosse's preseason All-Northeast Conference team while the Statesmen were picked to finish third in the NEC standings. Senior faceoff specialist Matthew Pedicine, junior defenseman Sam Mueller and sophomore midfielder Ryan Archer represented Hobart on the preseason team which was originally published in the 2019 Face-Off Yearbook.
The Rochester Knighthawks, in conjunction with US Lacrosse, will hold a TryLax event on Saturday, Feb. 2 at Connors & Ferris Field at The Blue Cross Arena. TryLax is a 90-minute, introductory lacrosse experience for girls and boys who have never played the sport.
The clinic will precede the National Lacrosse League contest between the Rochester Knighthawks and Georgia Swarm, which faces off at 7:30 p.m.
Billy has been a two-year first team all-Finger Lakes pick who will start his fourth year on the Eagle Varsity with 42g-34a. In the off season he has played for the Blaze Lacrosse Club.
. . . Le Moyne will be a force in the NE10 and capable of making a run itself. With Dan Entenmann back to lead the Dolphins, they slot in at No. 2 in Division II.
. . . as I mapped out my life while in Lynbrook High School (Class of ’78) on Long Island, my goal was to be a high school teacher and varsity coach. Everywhere I looked at LHS, I had the best role models, teachers who also coached. Tony Seaman was a social studies teacher as well as my junior high soccer coach and my varsity lacrosse coach. Larry Glenz was my social studies teacher and junior high lacrosse coach. Ken Sicke was a chemistry teacher who also coached my JV soccer and lacrosse teams. My driver’s ed teacher was Jim Imholtz; he also coached the school’s club ice hockey team. Marty Goldberg was my varsity soccer coach, and he taught social studies.
After taking home the 2018 Division II Women's national championship, Le Moyne was on top of the world. Now heading into the 2019 season, the Dolphins remain at the pinnacle of the Nike/US Lacrosse Division II Women's Preseason Top 20.
In a league full of parity and without an automatic qualifier, head-to-head results during the regular season become increasingly important. The Blue Devils are coming off of a berth in the national championship and, despite losing Tewaaraton finalist Justin Guterding, have the lion’s share of their starters returning. Elsewhere, Notre Dame and Virginia have squads capable of making a deep run in May, while Syracuse and North Carolina are looking to bounce back from lackluster seasons.
LOS ANGELES (January 7, 2019) – In an effort to unify the sport, the Premier Lacrosse League and the Women’s Professional Lacrosse League (WPLL) have announced a strategic partnership. With a combined 160 All-Americans and 16 Tewaaraton winners, the two preeminent professional lacrosse leagues will join forces to co-host select event weekends where fans will be able to watch their favorite pros from both leagues.
The Buffalo Bandits led wire-to-wire and tied a franchise record for fewest goals allowed on Saturday in their 13-4 win over the Rochester Knighthawks at KeyBank Center.
Goalie Matt Vinc hit another milestone on Saturday, becoming the NLL’s all-time saves leader with 7,273 saves in 208 career games. Vinc stopped 55 of 59 Knighthawks shots on Saturday.
DULUTH, Ga. — Lyle Thompson had two goals and two assists as the Georgia Swarm downed the Vancouver Warriors 10-8 on Saturday in National Lacrosse League play.
Miles Thompson and Brendan Bomberry had a hat trick each, while Jordan MacIntosh and Zed Williams added singles to round out the scoring for the Swarm (3-0).
Competition at the international level for all five of our national team programs has risen exponentially over the past several Federation of International Lacrosse world championship cycles. The margins of victory for the 2016 U.S. Men’s U19 and 2018 U.S. Men’s Senior Teams were razor thin and we placed second in the last Women’s U19 event. The process regarding selection of the players and staffs requires ongoing evaluation and review.
Cicero North Syracuse 2019 midfielder, attackman Connor Lynch of Team 315 has made a commitment to play NJCAA lacrosse at Onondaga Community College.
