Hopkins Blue Jay Gets Laid Out!

March 28, 2011 / Lacrosse Playground /


Greeley of Johns Hopkins gets taken off his feet by Virginia’s Lovejoy on Homewood field. Haven’t seen a hit like this in awhile. Matt comes from a fierce blood line. His older brother, Ben, played hockey and lacrosse at Dartmouth and is currently playing professionally with the Pittsburgh Penguins.


Watch another clip. Lovejoy was called for illegal body check, 2 min non-releasable. Hopkins went on to upset UVA, 12-11. I have a feeling these teams will meet again in the NCAAs. Expect more hits in May.

Lacrosse Playground

In 2009, Adam O’Neill, Harry Alford and Thomas Alford launched Lacrosse Playground as the preeminent site for lacrosse gearheads. For years Lacrosse Playground provided lacrosse fans with tutorials and tips on how to string a lacrosse head, up-close looks at the gear the top players used and sneak peeks at equipment and uniforms before they were released. More than 10 years and millions of visits later, Lacrosse Playground has relaunched with a focus on storytelling. Our mission is to provide comprehensive coverage of the latest lacrosse news, share insights into the sports betting and fantasy lacrosse world and showcase the lifestyles and personalities of the sport of lacrosse through articles, videos and podcasts.
