Irony aside, it kind of violates most moral codes. And university specific conduct codes.

The seven members of the league--Syracuse, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Rutgers, St. John's, Villanova and Providence--who field men's lacrosse have agreed in principle, with the inclusion of independent Syracuse being the coup that may make this possible.

Syracuse next faces Virginia in the DI semifinals. Syracuse lost to Virginia in March (the Cavs beat the Orange 14-13).

Two players, both goalies for the Gulls lax sqaud, were arrested for over a dozen acts of vandalism in the local community. The players were suspended and a goalie with limited experience was put in the cage. The Gulls then held off Gettysburg in OT by a score of 11-10.

Next for the Salisbury Seagulls?: No. 3 Gettysburg, a team that has lost only twice this year, including an 8-11 loss to ... Salisbury (!) on March 29.

The 17 point margin of victory is the largest of the year so far for the Syracuse Orange, who haven't scored this many points since the Feb 17 victory over Villanova (21-6). Syracuse has twice before held opponents to 3 or less points: in March against Binghampton (in a 16-2 win) and in April against UMass (in a 16-3 win).

I, probably like many other lacrosse fans, had quite a few question marks watching the field evolve on Sunday night. While I still may not agree with all of the selections and their respective placements, I do think IL at least helped me understand them a little more.

With the top teams already clinching berths, it comes down to some sleepers. I want to get your feed back on who will make it to the tournment and who will be left out. Also who will win it all? Duke and Syracuse have to be the favorites but who else can challenge these powerhouses for a chance at the title? Let me know.

Duke's Dan Loftus recorded a season-high 17 saves against the Cavaliers. The Blue Devils held a 11-3 lead with only six minutes remaining in the third period, but gave up six goals in the final 21 minutes, barely holding off Virginia. Duke's Matt Danowski had three goals and one assist in the win.

Duke's Zack Greer scored four goals and had an assist in the win. It also marked the 250th career coaching win for Blue Devil head coach John Danowski. Duke will play Virginia on Sunday for the ACC crown.

Last week, the Retrievers seized the regular season championship and with it, the right to host the AE conference tournament this coming week. If UMBC wins the conference tournament as projected, I fail to see how they can be denied one of the 8 seeded spots in the NCAA tournament.

Salisbury has not lost to a Capital Athletic Conference opponent since joining the league in 1999- a span of 99 games. Sophomore midfielder Mike Von Kamecke scored four goals to lead the Sea Gulls. On another note, Villa Julie should seriously consider changing its name. It doesn't exactly strike fear into the heart of their opponents. Below is a Youtube video taken a while back of Salisbury's traditional entrance into the stadium. Sorry for the swearing, whoever took the video apparently was really angry at a bike rider who got in the way of his camera. He notes he will need to edit the video because of some swearing in the stands, but he doesn't mention editing his swearing...also, i don't know what the dude kneeling down is doing, he's either cleaning the ground or doing some kind of celebration Sun, 20 Apr 2008 16:13:41 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/248547 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/248547 University of Delaware lacrosse coach Bob Shillinglaw coached his 511th game on Saturday, breaking the NCAA lacrosse record. Delaware made it worth Shillinglaw's time, beating Robert Morris, 20-5. Shillinglaw has been coaching UD for almost 30 years, and said he is far from done.

The second-ranked Blue Devils scored 10 straight goals against the No.3 Cavaliers to end the game. Max Quinzani led Duke with a career-high seven goals. He is now leading the nation with 43 goals. Before Saturday's disaster, Virginia had won eight straight games against Duke at home. I think it's safe to say the Blue Devils got a little payback.

Here is a great video of Paul and Gary Gait (*two guys who revolutionized the modern game) w/ Mike Powell (*not too shabby a player himself, acknowledge the sarcasm) putting on a shooting demo at the Carrier Dome (*one of the most iconic locations to play/watch lacrosse) *Courtesy of the great guys @ InsideLacrosse.tv* Wed, 27 Feb 2008 13:41:38 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/170228 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/170228 First it was basketball losses to Wake Forest and Miami. Now it's a monster lawsuit from the 2006 men's lacrosse team, which is gang-suing Duke, the Duke Medical System, and most everyone employed by the City of Durham. It's a bad week at Duke. I reviewed the complaint and provide guidance to understanding what the non-accused lacrosse players are suing over.

Kyle harrison and Bret Hughs came to Stl.ouis(13'). It was coled but fun.(We werent out side though.) We talked about key ways to play the game and how to throw hard. (Still owes new net lol). We had fun and learned to honor and a lot of big word stuff. It was great. Plz come again Mr.Harrison and Mr. Hughs....LACROSSE!!

With the luxury of hindsight, it's easy to say that the school should have been a little slower on their punishment and judgment of three lacrosse players charged with raping an African-American female stripper at an off-campus, alcohol-drenched party. But because the incident had all the makings of the perfect social and cultural storm, the school had no other route but the one it ultimately chose.
