Duke men’s lacrosse upset by Air Force at home in season opener.
Duke led for nearly 51 minutes in its 2020 season opener, but in the end, the only score that matters is the one when the clock hits zero. And Saturday afternoon, it was Air Force that came out on top.
Here’s a great video from Towson.

Chris Gray was electric in his UNC debut.
Who stood out?
In his UNC debut, Gray was phenomenal from the start. He scored four of the team’s first six goals and added two assists. A 2019 Tewaaraton Award nominee, he comes to Chapel Hill with hefty expectations. He was named an Inside Lacrosse Preseason Media First-Team All-American as well as a member of the Preseason All-ACC Team.

Maryland exploded on offense on Saturday versus High Point.
Eight seconds into the game, Maryland men’s lacrosse midfielder Roman Puglise dodged down the left alley and rifled a lefty-shot past High Point’s Parker Green. Puglise’s goal was the first of 23 on the day, the highest for a Terps team since February 2013.
Here’s a nice hype video from Stony Brook.

What’s Up, New PhilaJersey?
“MAN ALIVE!” Andrew Walter Reid bellowed from his toes as he marched through his Kansas City Chiefs locker room, glowing like a teenager who had just scored a date with the prettiest girl in school. Reid had just finished handing out credit for this epic Super Bowl victory as easily as one would hand out a business card at a job fair, even giving a shoutout to Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, the billionaire who fired him.
