It turned out to be a great first day of box lacrosse after all of the puddles dried up! The pace was fast and the games were fun to watch! The benefits of box lacrosse were evident as the players started picking up the two man game, pick and rolls and give and goes. This league is all about sharpening lacrosse skills and not about the scores and it's very clear that the players are really improving and box lacrosse is helping them get there. It's fun to see the improvement in skills over only two years ago!We had some good games with no team winning by more than four goals. In game one, we saw the BearCats (Binghamton) take down the SeaWolves (Stony Brook U) by a score of 17-14. Game two saw the RiverHawks (UMass-Lowell) come out on top of the Catamounts (U of Vermont) 14-10 and in the last game of the day, the Retrievers (UMBC) topped the Great Danes (U of Albany) 10-8. The WildCats (U of New Hampshire) had the bye.
Next week we'll see the Great Danes with the bye and Catamounts taking on Retrievers at 4:00 p.m., RiverHawks against SeaWolves at 5:00 p.m. and BearCats versus WildCats at 6:00 p.m. See the season Standings and Stats and the Season Schedule on the website. See you next week, and stay tuned for any weather related site changes.
