NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Scholarships: Competition For “Partial Scholarships” Has Never Been Greater


 ”…NCAA Division I lacrosse has gone from 50 teams in 1981 to 60 in 2010. The number of participants has grown from 1,600 to 2,500. With more high school athletes vying for a Division I scholarship, the process has grown more competitive…”

Bill Tierney, University of Denver
“We’re an equivalency sport, which makes us different from football and basketball where everyone gets a full ride. What most college coaches do is break it up to some full rides, some in amounts of money, some in tuition, room and board or books. You can break them up any way you want, but in general if there is a 45-man team there might be 25 or so that are on some sort of scholarship money.”

National High School Boys Lacrosse Tournaments: Team Spirit Defeated Team Freedom 15-12 To Win 2010 Champion High School Showcase At ESPN Wide World Of Sports Complex In Florida


Team Spirit used early faceoff dominance from Robert Abbott (Bullis (Md.) School) and some late defense from a stingy group led by team MVP Maxx Meyer (Half Hills East (N.Y.) HS) to defeat Team Freedom, 15-12, to win the gold-medal game of the 2010 Champion High School Showcase (HSS), a four-team US Lacrosse all-star event at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex Thursday. US Lacrosse brought lacrosse to the ESPN Rise Games, an annual multi-sport festival, for the first time with the HSS.

Abbott, strong on draws throughout the three-day tournament, won his first six to stake Spirit to a 4-2 lead. Connor Mooney (Avon Old Farms (Conn.) School) twice converted feeds from Nick Galasso (West Islip (N.Y.) HS) for Spirit, and on a couple occasions it looked like Spirit would repeat its 22-6 win over Freedom in Wednesday’s final game of pool play. But Freedom rallied a couple times, the last time from down 10-5 to down one at 11-10 late in the third quarter.
