NCAA Lacrosse On TV: “2012 ESPNU Warrior Classic” On April 14 Features #17 Syracuse Vs Rutgers And #9 North Carolina Vs Hofstra

Posted on April 11, 2012 | Leave a comment

The ESPNU Warrior Classic makes its debut in the Tar Heel State on April 14 with No. 17 Syracuse facing Rutgers and No. 9 North Carolina playing Hofstra. The college lacrosse doubleheader will take place at American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. Both games — featuring six returning All-Americans and two teams that combined have won 14 national championships — will be broadcast on ESPNU.

Syracuse-Rutgers (11 a.m. ET)

The Orange entered the 2011 NCAA championship tournament as the top-seeded team with 15 wins and one loss. But after rolling over Siena in the opening round, they were upset by unseeded Maryland in the quarterfinals, ending their hopes of winning the program’s 11th national title. The Scarlet Knights got off to a 5-1 start but lost eight straight before winning their last game of the season, against Providence. They finished with a 6-9 record that led to the dismissal of coach Jim Stagnitta.

Syracuse key players: JoJo Marasco (Jr., M); Tommy Palasek (Sr., A); Bobby Eilers (Sr., M); Derek Maltz (So., A); Ricky Buhr (So., M/FO); Matt Lerman (So., GK); Brian Megill (Jr., D)

Rutgers key players: Scott Klimchak (So., A); Will Mangan (Sr., M); Duncan Clancy (Jr., A); Mike Diehl (Sr., M); Nick DePaolera (So., A); Jacob Fradkin (Sr., D); Rudy Butler (Jr., GK)

North Carolina-Hofstra (1:30 p.m. ET)

The Tar Heels had a roller coaster 2011 season, highlighted by regular-season wins over Notre Dame, Maryland and Princeton. But in the NCAA tournament opener, the eighth-seeded Tar Heels were upset by Maryland a month after losing to the Terps in the ACC tournament. The Pride started the season 13-1, with wins over Princeton and UMass. But after the hot start, they were upset by Delaware in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament semifinals and followed that with a seven-goal loss to Johns Hopkins in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

North Carolina key players: Nicky Galasso (So., A); Jimmy Dunster (Sr., M); Marcus Holman (Jr., A); R.G. Keenan (So., M); Charlie McComas (Sr., D); Kieran McDonald (Jr., D); Jimmy Bitter (Fr., A); Joey Sankey (Fr., A)

Hofstra key players: Andrew Gvozden (Sr., GK); Ian Braddish (Jr., M); Adrian Sorichetti (Jr., M); Brad Loizeaux (Sr., M); Lance Yapor (So., A); Cody Solaja (Jr., D); Corey Caputo (Jr., D); John Antoniades (Jr., M/FO)

NCAA Lacrosse: Johns Hopkins Men’s Lacrosse Overtime Win Over Virginia On March 24 Is Highest Rated College Lacrosse Game In ESPNU Ratings History

Posted on March 30, 2012 | Leave a comment

Last Saturday’s men’s lacrosse game between Virginia and Johns Hopkins, a battle of No. 1 vs. No. 2, was the highest rated college lacrosse game in ESPNU ratings history. The game’s viewership surpassed all of ESPNU’s NCAA Championship coverage as well.

“I am very glad to hear of this rating for a regular season game,” said UVa men’s lacrosse head coach Dom Starsia. “It speaks to the interest in this particular game and to the growth of men’s lacrosse nationwide overall. This continues to be an exciting time in our sport.”

Nearly 7,000 fans filed into Klöckner Stadium to see two of college lacrosse’s most historic programs battle for the Doyle Smith Cup. Hopkins came out on top, 11-10, scoring the winning goal with five seconds remaining in the first overtime period. It was the largest Klöckner Stadium crowd since a capacity of 8,000 fans turned out during Duke’s 2010 trip to Charlottesville.
