BeanShot A Success

Despite a first round loss to New Hampshire 8-6 in the inaugural BeanShot tournament held in Boston and sponsored by Muscle Milk and the Boston Cannons the team had a great expereince.  Northeastern defeated BU in the first round and eventually would go on to win the tournament defeating UNH in the championships.  Muscle Milk and the Cannons pulled out all the stops for the tournament.  Check out this photo gallery for an inside look at this great event. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.403218579728784.114678.131553223561989&type=1 ~~Assistant Coach Vacancy~~ UConn Men's Lacrosse is looking for an assistant coach.  I will post the job description below.  Feel free to share with any potential applicants that may be interested.

Huskies go 1-1 vs. Buffalo and BU, enter conference playoffs as #2 seed

~vs. Buffalo~ UConn welcomed #8 Buffalo to a wet Sherman Field last week in a game that would determine the overall #1 seed in the PCLL playoffs.  UConn was unable to come away with the win as Buffalo's defensive plan, which included face guarding PCLL points leader Kevin Canavan, as well as the added challenge of playing on the slippery astroturf surface of Sherman Field during a constant rain,  was too much for the #13 Huskies to overcome.  With their 10-7 win Buffalo is the only team to put double digits on UConn this year.  Box Score: http://mcla.us/scores/games/10713/ ~vs. BU~ Post Buffalo loss, UConn fell to #15 in the MCLA Top 25 and the Huskies looked to get back on track in their final regular season game vs. last place Boston University.  However...

UConn Defeats BC and URI - Climbs to #14 in the Nation

~Eagles Embarrassed~ A much hyped UConn-BC matchup this past weekend did not live up to expectations...in the best way possible.  The Huskies jumped out to a 6-2 lead at halftime and never looked back, handing the #12 Eagles an 11-5 loss.  As stated in a previous email this is UConn's first victory over BC in ten attempts since the Eagles joined the MCLA in 2004. Box Score: http://mcla.us/scores/games/11598/ ~URI Defeated~ UConn went down to Kingston, RI yesterday afternoon to face off against a scrappy URI team.  On what has to be one of the worst fields in the league the Huskies kept URI at arms length despite the Rams unwillingness to go down easy.  At the end of regulation UConn pulled out a 10-9 victory over URI. Box Score: http://mcla.us/scores/games/11599/...

Huskies Defeat New Hampshire in mid-week matchup, #12 BC on deck

~New Hampshire~ Yesterday the Huskies got a tough W against a stingy University of New Hampshire team.  UNH came into the game with a 1-4 record, however all of their loses were to nationally ranked teams (#11 CU 14-9, #13 Clemson 5-2, #10 Buffalo 10-6, #8 VaTech 8-6) so the Wildcats were obviously hungry for a win and not to be taken lightly.  UConn came out strong in the first with a 3-1 lead, and would hold a 5-4 lead at the half.  UNH would take a one goal lead with 9 minutes left in the 4th, however UConn would score 2 goals in the final 5 minutes to put the game away.  Box Score http://mcla.us/scores/games/11597/ ~#12 Boston College~ Last week prior to the Northeastern game I wrote an email comparing this years team to the 2006 team.  With the win...

~MCLA Ranking~ For the first time in six years, the UConn Men's Lacrosse team is nationally ranked. Today the MCLA released their weekly poll, and UConn came in at #23 in the nation. This is the Huskies first national ranking since 2006 when they hit #25 on the poll, a ranking that also came after a victory over a nationally ranked Northeastern squad. The Huskies will look to continue their winning ways vs. New Hampshire tomorrow, and #12 Boston College on Friday.

April 14th 2006, Storrs, CT

On this day nearly 6 years ago a 7-1 UConn team hosted a nationally ranked Northeastern program at Depot Field.  The game was originally planned for Sherman Field, however a Women's Varsity game scheduled for Morrone Stadium at the same time was moved to the artificial surface of Sherman in the 11th hour due to a steady rain.  This left the men's program scrambling to move their game to Depot with warmups about to begin.  In those days, when Sherman first became available for team use, games at Depot Field were rare because the field surface was terrible, and the lighting sub-par.  There was some obvious concern among the team to move from the comfortable confines of Sherman, to the terrible conditions of Depot for such a big game. However Head Coach Dino Mattessich...

A Letter From Coach Scordato

Dear Parents, Alumni and Friends of UConn Lacrosse: The team is fired up and ready to go for a great 2012 season. As a supporter of the organization, we would like to get you up to speed with the team goals and objectives. First, a little history refresher: The UConn Men's Lacrosse team was founded in 1964 as an opportunity for college men to participate in the great sport of lacrosse. The team is a self-sustaining, university-recognized organization. The MCLA (Men's College Lacrosse Association) is the governing body for college club lacrosse, and UConn is a member of the PCLL (Pioneer Collegiate Lacrosse League) our regional conference. This gives us the opportunity to compete with teams across the country on a yearly basis. Our biggest goal this season is to make sure the UConn...

Part 2 of Season Preview Feature in the New England Lacrosse Blog

Defense-Defense-Defense One of the biggest surprises of fall ball, according to Coach Scordato, is how deep the defense is. Though UConn lost Peter Gabriele to graduation (now the Huskies Defensive Coordinator), UConn's back-up goalie from last year has taken over and has performed quite well. "John Sherman (Wilton HS, CT) has really stepped up this past fall ball season between the pipes. He knows the weight is on his shoulders and he is up for the task," Coach Gabriele says. "I am hoping I can pass down to him some of my experiences being the starting goalie for the past two years." This year the hope is the Huskies can continue to keep their opposition's scoring down. Last year the Huskies held opponents to an average of 7.7 goals per game. "I am hoping this year we maintain...

UConn Men's Lacrosse Season Preview Featured on the N.E. Lacrosse Blog

The New England Lacrosse Blog (http://nelaxblog.com) is featuring a multi-part series previewing the upcoming season for UConn.  At this link you can find Part 1: http://nelaxblog.com/blog/2012/02/14/uconn-huskies-striving-to-be-top-dog-in-pcll/ In PCLL news you may have already heard that Boston University has announced that they will elevate their Men's Lacrosse team to Division 1 status: http://www.bu.edu/today/2012/new-sports-field-coming-to-west-campus/ I am sure many of us have fond memories of playing BU over the years.  My personal favorite was the 4 overtime game in 2005 under the lights on spring weekend.  The obviously rowdy crowd grew restless the longer the game went on, I can remember vividly one fan constantly screaming "Hurry up and win I want to...
