It’s been a few years since Bill Tierney walked the sidelines of Princeton’s Sherrerd Field at the Class of 1952 Stadium. The memories from those days, though, are draped along the stadium fence as the six national championship flags remind everyone when Tierney was the pride of Nassau Street. The legendary Hall of Fame coach will be making a return to the Princeton field on Tuesday night when his Denver (5-2) team faces the Tigers (2-5) at 6 p.m.
The Yale men’s lacrosse team is on quite a roll. After losing its season opener to Villanova, the defending national champions have now won five straight and are ranked second in the country.

Lacrosse set to check in to Utah high school sports in 2020.
Lacrosse is set to become an official Utah High School Activities Association sport in 2020, and Park City is expected to maintain its dominance – though with different competition.
Jon Oglesby, assistant director of the UHSAA, says all major hurdles have been cleared and the organization is on “a great pace” to introduce lacrosse in the 2019-2020 school year and that more teams are planning to join after the first season.
”We had a number of schools that, for whatever reason, for year one didn’t have the funding, transportation or facilities … but are very interested in coming in 2021,” he said. “We are anticipating a number of schools coming on that second year.”
I love it when memes crossover into reality.

Shout out to the newest HITTER on BU.
The Boston University men’s lacrosse team added a new face to its roster, a courageous 5-year-old from Jamaica Plain. The Terriers held a draft just for Patrick Mahoney Monday, hoping to make his day and raise awareness of his chronic illness. “He’s been really passionate, and I know the guys really look forward to when he shows up and practices and games,” BU Head Coach Ryan Polley said.
A little history will be made on Wednesday.

What’s Up, PhilaJersey?
WE DID IT: Comcast announced plans for a $50M Esports arena in Philadelphia.
Competitive gaming has become so profitable in recent years that large media companies are getting in on the act. Comcast Spectacor announced Monday that it will build a dedicated esport stadium in the heart of the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. The 3,500-seat, $50 million Fusion Arena will play host to local professional team Philadelphia Fusion — already owned by Comcast Spectacor. “This will be the first ground-up [esports] facility in the western hemisphere,” Spectacor Chief Business Officer Joe Marsh said.
World/National News
Great post by the King of NY, Adam Epstein on the box office smash movie US.
Lupita Nyong’o is not the only one seeing double—Jordan Peele’s new horror film, Us, made twice as much money in its opening weekend as Hollywood projected it would. Last month analysts predicted that Us, which came out in theaters on Friday (March 22), would gross around $35 million at the box office in its first weekend. That would have been a solid but unremarkable total, roughly in line with the opening weekend gross of Peele’s first film, Get Out (which went on to make a whopping $255 million worldwide off a $4.5 million budget).
