New Jersey power Bridgewater-Raritan’s on-the-field success continues to result in college commitments. The latest example of just that comes at the goaltender position, where junior Luke Konen has decided on Army. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Konen, a righty, is a strong stopper who communicates well with the close defense. Konen is the Black Knights’ third 2015 […]

St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) enters the 2014 varsity season on a mission after seeing its run of four straight CHSAA AAA titles ended last season. The Friars will have no shortage of college-bound players aiming to achieve that goal. St. A’s has 17 — count ’em — 17 Class of 2014 commits alone. One of them, […]

Should Sachem North once again make it to the postseason, the Flaming Arrows will be as battled tested as any team around. After all, they play in one of the country’s most competitive conferences – Suffolk County (N.Y.) Division 1. For those who may be unfamiliar, the conference includes consensus 2013 national champion Ward Melville […]

If Danny DeSanti had a “What did you do this summer?” assignment when he returned to classes at St. Anthony’s High School (N.Y.) earlier this month, there’s no doubt he had plenty to write about. After all, the longstick midfielder was named MVP of the 2015 all-star game at one of the summer’s previous recruiting […]

Players from two longtime rivals who also happen to be two of the nation’s most tradition-rich and successful programs – New York powers St. Anthony’s and Yorktown – both made verbal commitments tonight. The decision by Danny DeSanti of St. A’s gives the Friars six junior commitments. The decision by Austin Graham of ’Town gives […]

Army has now received six commitments from rising seniors in the nation’s No. 1 hotbed for lacrosse, the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tristate region. Before we get to the latest Black Knight verbal, here’s a rundown of the five commits: * Tommy Marino (Smithtown East, NY), attack * Kieran Mullins (Islip, NY), attack * Andrew Nadjari […]

Army broke into the tristate Class of 2015 when Paul Volante of Connecticut power Ridgefield decided on West Point back in December. Now the Black Knights have picked up another verbal from a player in the nation’s No. 1 hotbed for lacrosse, the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tristate region. It came earlier today when one of […]

The now prevalent trend of sophomores making verbal commitments all began at Syosset. It started when Ryan Feit became the first 10th-grader to make a Division I lacrosse verbal commitment when he declared his intentions to LaxLessons.com to attend Johns Hopkins in October, 2010. Now, less than three years later, another Syosset player has made […]

If there’s an early tristate leader for most verbal commitments since the 2013 varsity season ended on June 8, St. Anthony’s would have to be the No. 1. The New York CHSAA power has seen four members of its program give verbals in less than two weeks. The latest came today as rising junior attackman […]

What do you get when you combine good size with great stick skills? The essential ingredients of a major Division I attackman. Tommy Marino has those attributes — and then some. “I would say I have a big frame, good work on the crease, fast outside shot and good inside finishing,” the Smithtown East (N.Y.) […]

John Cunniffe made an impact in many ways – lacrosse-wise and otherwise. The first All-American in John Jay High School history, Cunniffe went on to play at West Point. A Gulf War veteran, he gave back to the Katonah/Lewisboro community as a coach and board member of John Jay Youth Lacrosse. Cunniffe died peacefully on […]

If you enjoy watching defenders who value style over substance, Paul Volante may not be what you’re looking for. The sophomore at two-time Connecticut state finalist Ridgefield is all about being steady and not necessarily spectacular. “I am not a very flashy player,” Volante said. “I play smart with good fundamentals and always play for […]

When it comes to standing your ground in goal, size matters. Case in point, John Quinn. The Sachem North rising senior stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 195 pounds. “I take up much of the cage and I am able to control all aspects of the defense,” he said. Quinn’s college desitination is West Point. He verballed […]

Two of St. Anthony’s 16 college committed seniors are bound for coach Joe Alberici’s program at West Point – Tim Stackpole (left) and Brendan Conroy. The National Letter of Intent Fall Early Signing Period is now in Day 3, with the final day for players bound for all but a handful of conferences in Division […]

Lacrosse is where Brendan Conroy’s college future is. The St. Anthony’s senior has committed to join Joe Alberici’s program at Army. But many of his most significant accomplishments so far have come in another sport. He’s a Junior Olympic snowboarder. On the lacrosse field, the 6-0, 190-pound midfielder also has a specialty. Faceoffs. That’s one […]

Chris Monteferante loves a challenge. The rising senior for Lakeland/Panas has achieved attention throughout the region for his excellence in the faceoff X. It didn’t happen overnight. Monteferante, who started playing lax as a third-grader, didn’t start taking faceoffs until six years later. But through hard work and dedication, he quickly established himself as one […]

The chain reaction of coaching moves that started when Richie Meade resigned from Navy is now almost complete. Army assistant Mike Murphy was tabbed by Colgate today as its new head coach. Murphy, the defensive coordinator at Army under Joe Alberici, replaces Jim Nagle, who left Colgate to take over the head-coaching job at Stony […]

Photos by Ray Nelson/MaxPreps.com It was not only a non-league game, but a non-section game as well. We’re talking about Ward Melville’s 10-7 win over Garden City, a team some ranked as the best squad in the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tristate area in the preseason (though we gave the nod to Darien for that honor […]

It’s all tied up in the race for No. 1. Syracuse drew even with Virginia in the latest United States Lacrosse Association Division I poll, which was released today. Maryland, meanwhile, moved up to the No. 3 spot, which had been held last week by now No. 4 Notre Dame. After beating Princeton, Hofstra moved […]

A rematch of the biggest upset of last year’s NCAA tournament is among the games on this weekend’s slate. Army, which stunned Syracuse 9-8 in double overtime in the opening round of the NCAA tournament last year, returns to the scene of the stunner as the Black Knights face the Orange in a 4 p.m. […]

It was an unforgettable finish for Greenwich. After ending the regular season with a 9-2 loss to Darien, the Cardinals entered the FCIAC playoffs with an 8-7 record. But Greenwich then picked up an 8-5 win at defending FCIAC champion Ridgefield before edging Darien 8-7 in the semifinals and New Canaan 5-4 in the title […]

Former John Jay star Chris Daniello scored a career-high four goals as Syracuse pulled away for a 12-7 win over visiting Army in front of 4,432 fans at the Carrier Dome today. The game had been tied at 5-5 before the Orange went on a 4-0 third-quarter run.

It didn’t take long for the Somers Tuskers to set the tone against three-time defending sectional champion John Jay in last year’s Section 1 title game at White Plains High School. It happened just seven seconds into the game when Greg Petre (shown above in a photo taken by Jim Stout/MaxPreps.com) fired in a shot […]

College lacrosse teams are starting to finalize their 2010 schedules. As they are released, we will be posting them on this thread. So be sure to check back for newly added teams each day on the second page of this thread.

As far as fall ball goes, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better venue than West Point, where the fall foliage and the scenic images of the Hudson provided a perfect backdrop for a busy day of action today involving Stony Brook, Marist and the host Black Knights.

Hen Hud’s Bobby Sincero also drew recruiting interest from Colgate, Brown, Manhattan, Middlebury, Colby, Nazareth, Washington College, Clark and Lynchburg. I think I know a trend when I see one, folks. The commitment of Hen Hud senior goaltender Bobby Sincero to attend Army marks the third Section 1 player from the Class of 2010 that […]

Army has landed another top senior from the Hudson Valley in John Jay’s Will O’Donnell.
