2019 Men’s College Lacrosse Year In Review: #6 Loyola Greyhounds.

Season Summary - Loyola had nearly everything they needed to make a deep run in May. Led by a Tewaaraton favorite in Pat Spencer and stud goalie Jacob Stover, the Greyhounds hoped to claim the program’s second national championship this decade.

And things appeared to look that way in the early going. In their season opener against Virginia, Loyola got a pair of five-goal performances from Spencer and Kevin Lindley along with 18 saves from Stover in an eight-goal victory. The following week down Charles Street at Johns Hopkins was a similar story as Spencer dominated the Blue Jays defense with freshman midfielder Chase Scanlan scoring six points in an 18-12 win.

His passion for the game of lacrosse is evident and his beliefs in what type of culture a program should have is completely in line with our culture at Towson. I am eager to get to work alongside Matt as we enter into the 2019-20 year.”

Bang: Comcast exec drops a $1K tip on a $47 bill.

When an NFL star left a 20-cent (as opposed to 20 percent) tip at P.Y.T. in 2014, I exposed his utter rudeness. And when a group of UPenn jerks tipped 40 cents on a $26 round that same year, I had a little fun at their expense as well. But we’re not just about bad news and negativity here at Foobooz. So when I learned that longtime Belgian Cafe bartender Lisa Sloat received a $1,000 tip from a Comcast exec, I had to talk to both of them.
