Once upon a time, Morgan State played men's lacrosse and scored a fairy-tale win over a legendary foe — a victory that, 43 years later, still resonates with the stick world. On March 8, 1975, the Bears — then the only lacrosse team from a historically black college, and one with a shoestring budget — defeated No. 1 Washington & Lee, 8-7, ending the Generals' 27-game regular-season winning streak.

After years of debate, men’s lacrosse moved one step closer to adding a shot clock for the 2019 season. But support for such a measure is not unanimous.
After conducting a series of meetings from Tuesday through Thursday, the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules Committee announced Friday that it will recommend the introduction of a visible 60-second shot clock after the offense has crossed midfield. A team will have 20 seconds to clear the ball, and if the offense retains possession off a save or a shot off the goal posts or crossbar, the clock will be reset to 60 seconds. If the 60 seconds expire without the offense taking a shot, the defense will gain possession.

Walking into the offices at Corrigan Sports headquarters in Elkridge, Md., it's easy to notice the Under Armour All-American game jerseys. And the vertical Maryland Roughriders sign. Lining the walls of the office are various banners representing the events Corrigan Sports hosts — running festivals, field hockey tournaments, flag football and a handful from lacrosse events.
The banners and jerseys serve as aesthetics for the main lobby at Corrigan Sports, a sports marketing and event management company founded by Lee Corrigan in 2000, but they represent a bit more. Corrigan, the man behind it all, was born to work in the world of sports — especially in lacrosse. It’s in his blood.

year ago, the Hood men’s lacrosse program was one of the best in Division III in winning faceoffs. This past spring was a quick study in reality catching up to the team.
The Blazers finished the 2018 season ranked 170th out of 239 schools in that department at 43.9 percent (165 of 376). That was a significant contrast from last year, when they ranked 15th in the nation at 64.3 percent (268 of 417) thanks to the play of Zach Kauffman (66.9 percent on 224 of 335 and 118 ground balls).

For Shannon Quinlan, the season could not have started any worse.
Or ended any better.
The James Madison University senior, who plays attack for the JMU women’s lacrosse team, went down with a season-ending injury in the second game of the season back in February.
But she was still along for a magical ride as the Dukes shocked the lacrosse world by capturing the 2018 NCAA Division I women’s lacrosse championship last month.
Most importantly, between the start and end, the 2014 Wilton High graduate learned some valuable life lessons.

The history of women's pro sports is quite short. Of the leagues associated with the SheIS Initiative, the WNBA is the oldest. And the WNBA is only in its 21st season. The other professional sports leagues for women in the SheIS Initiative includes National Pro Fastpitch (currently in its 15th season), Canadian Women's Hockey League (11 seasons completed), and the National Women's Hockey League (three seasons played).

The best NCAA Quarterfinal game and best atmosphere was Albany’s 15-13 victory over Denver on Saturday in Hempstead, N.Y. It clinched Albany’s first trip to Championship Weekend. There will be excitement on the menu: Albany’s fans filled two sections of Shuart Stadium despite the rain and chilly temperatures. The mind boggles at what might greet the teams on Saturday, given Albany’s campus is less than three hours from Gillette Stadium and the early weather forecast is warm but dry.

The first achievement arrived and surprised him. The other, he and his classmates had been trying to attain for years.
Very few lacrosse players from the Seacoast have enjoyed — at the Division I level — three-day stretches like the one Buddy Carr got to experience a week ago with UMass.
A senior attack, the former Exeter High School standout is headed to his first NCAA tournament. That achievement was clinched when the Minutemen (12-4) beat Towson 12-8 in the CAA final on Saturday in Amherst, Mass., the program's first league title since 2012.
"It's been a goal all four years," said Carr, who was named All-CAA first team, and leads his team in goals (36), assists (24) and points (60). "To finally be able to do that on Garber (Field) was a privilege."
That achievement came two days after a more personal one.

The men’s lacrosse record for face-off percentage in a single season is 24 years old. The record for face-off percentage for an entire career is 32 years old.
Now, in the same season, because of the two best face-off men the game has ever seen, both records are in danger.
