As 412_Lax put it, “Zach Palmer decided to score one handed against UVA. Canadians keeping it casual in Charlottesville.” Palmer and the Jays did work this weekend by beating UVA in overtime. This goal, however, made the lacrosse Gods smile. It’s pure perfection mixed with a lot of creativity. Remember his behind-the-back goal against the Terps last year? Read More…

We have a great lineup of games this Saturday starting at noon when Maryland takes on UNC and Duke takes on Georgetown. If you are going to the Duke/Georgetown game, there will be a crew headed to Mason Inn after the game to put back some pitchers and catch the 2pm games when #1 UVA takes on Petro’s Bluejays.

BALTIMORE, MD – Second-ranked Johns Hopkins used a 9-0 run that bridged the second and fourth quarters and held visiting Towson scoreless for more than 31 minutes during that stretch as the Blue Jays eased past the Tigers, 12-6, at Homewood Field Friday evening. The win is the 150th in the career of Johns Hopkins head coach Dave Pietramala, who improves to 150-58 overall and 127-41 during his time at Hopkins. Read More…

Best gloves of the season so far? Possibly. The glove’s colorway of White and Columbia Blue is just simply smooth. Minimalism is the goal here.

SweetLax uploaded a picture of Johns Hopkins new K18 gloves. The gloves are Matte Black/Columbia Blue with the Blue jay embellished on the cuff. As you may recall JHU began the season with 2011 STX Assault gloves and Nike Vapor Elites, then abruptly switching to stock K18s and finally Matte Black/Columbia Blue gloves. It’s still undetermined why Hopkins decided to go in this direction.
