The second season under Joe Amplo has gotten off to a solid start for the Navy Midshipmen, as thet took down Jacksonville 13-6 on Sunday afternoon to move to 2-0 on the season.
After seeing Jacksonvilel end the first quarter with a three-goal run from Luke Robinson, Matt Stagnitta, and Brendan McKenna to put them up 4-1 heading into the second and a Jack Dolan goal putting them up 5-2 midway through the second quarter, the Midshipmen kicked it into a different gear.
From the 2:34 mark in the second through the 6:02 mark in the third, Navy not only got hot on the offensive end but clamped down on defense. The Midshipmen rattled off nine straight goals, including two from James Flannery to get ahead 11-5 heading into the final quarter of play. Troy Hettinger ended the dry spell for Jacksonville with their only second-half goal early in the fourth.
We can officially say it. Lacrosse is back, Y’all!
It was a much slower first weekend of action than usual with only two games on the docket, but college lacrosse officially returned on Saturday. Bellarmine took down Mercer on in the first game of the season and just a few hours later we saw Denver best Utah.
Denver 9, Utah 8
The Denver Pioneers overcame missing 12 players, including Schuyler Blair, Alex Simmons, and Colin Squires, struggling heavily on the power play (1-for-8), and going 8-for-20 at the faceoff dot, to get hot in the second half and put away the visiting Utah Utes, 9-8, in their home opener.

The 2021 college lacrosse season got underway in a manner befitting the oddness of the last 10 months.
Two conference foes played a non-conference game in January in Macon, Ga. In the absence of a formal live stream, hundreds of starved lacrosse fans watched a Periscope stream via a Bellarmine player (junior midfielder Cameron Herbert) recovering from illness and saw field level highlights courtesy of an injured Mercer player (sophomore midfielder Cole Leggett) posting to IL’s Instagram. One face-off specialist one all but one face-off and the teams combined for just seven fewer turnovers than shots.
Councillor Melanie Corrigan has asked that the district look at extending the footpath from the footbridge at the Herbert Road to the footpath at Ashton Wood, or improve the passage way through the wooded area linking the footpaths. There is presently no footpath at this particularly dangerous stretch of road, and the walkway is not suitable as the pathway is flooded and worn, said Cllr Corrigan in a motion at last week s meeting of Bray Municipal District. There has been a huge amount of footfall on this road connecting Bray and Enniskerry and it needs to be encouraged and improved for safety reasons and to promote outdoor recreation.
