New Anish Shroff post from US Lacrosse Magazine: Detours lead to better destinations.

A failed baseball player. A high school football coach at heart. A college soccer coach. That unlikely cocktail gave us the most successful coach in the history of Division I men’s lacrosse.

Honestly, I expect better chirps from Terps fans.

Good question: Why isn’t lacrosse a more popular sport?

It’s all about the U!

NY, NY, big city of dreams!

Tough story out of North Carolina: Lacrosse player paralyzed in game sues his NC school and coach, citing safety lapses.

Last May in the final period of a high school lacrosse playoff game, Lance Fenderson found himself between a bigger, onrushing opponent and his own team’s goal. Fenderson held his ground. Just before impact, however, he also lowered his head.

Get to know Fairfield head coach Andrew Baxter.

On Friday, Feb. 14, The Mirror sat down with the head coach of the Fairfield University men’s lacrosse team Andrew Baxter ahead of the Stags’ 2020 season-opener, and Baxter’s first game at the helm of the program.

The athletics department’s “We Are Stags Initiative” is heavily based on Jesuit values. Do you believe that these values are employable on the lacrosse field?

We’ve involved the cultural commitments into our culture as a program, in terms of competing, caring, leading and growing. We touch on those all the time, and the other piece along with that is the selflessness piece which goes along with the Jesuit value of Men for Others.
