College: Video clip – the most amazing defensive play I've ever seen

Jimmy Craft, a Long Stick Middie from Yale, intercepts a clearing pass from Penn State's Goalie in the opening round of the 2013 Men's NCAA DI Tournament. Not only does he dive for the ball, he catches it on the bounce, with a long stick, at full extension. Then, while completely prone, he recovers enough to make the pass to a teammate, insuring possession. The definition of "completely selling out!"

Jordan LaTendresse: Cornell's his new home

As a few folks know, Jordan LaTendresse decided the Naval Academy was not for him. As with everything Jordan decides, it's rigorous, detailed and conclusive. He'll take a year off, then head off to Cornell. This is big news for Cornell and for NorCal. For Cornell, they'll get another 6'5" agile Close D to join Connor Hunt. For NorCal, its two most dynamic, powerful, defenders have decided to play for the Big Red. These two guys are scary good. To have them play on the same team – and ultimately on the same line – will scare almost all other NCAA DI opponents. After years of being opponents, Jordan and Connor will get to gang up on opponents. Were I an Attackman, I'd hope to be the third Attack when my team played Cornell!

Griffin Goudreau 2011 Highlights


Griffin Goudreau, the 6'5" 220 pound Close D/LSM has committed to play for NCAA DI Providence College. Griffin, who attends Bellarmine College Prep, played for the Alcatraz Outlaws this past summer, where he caught the eye of a number of coaches. Here are his highlights from the 2011 season.

Matt Corbin 2011 Highlights


Matt Corbin, the fine De La Salle Close D, has committed to play NCAA DIII at highly regarded Haverford. Matt is in the Class of 2012 and will join another NorCal guy next year on the 'Fords - Jack Bodine, Class of 2011, from  Saint Ignatius.

Haverford is a supreb academic institution and Matt is a very strong student. Sounds like a great fit. The 'Fords are getting a tough, sizable, tenacious defender. They're lucky to have him!
