If you’re interested or know of anyone who might be, it sounds like a good event to check out. Growing the game at Parcells Middle School.

MCLA

Something called THE RUSH (that’s all-caps, folks) is bringing MCLA highlights from the state of Michigan to the forefront. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a links post between the time of the press release coming through and the time of the games mentioned, but you can check out said highlights. Take a look at their site for more.

Preview of the Davenport/Grand Valley game over the weekend. The Panthers won 7-6 on an overtime goal by Jordan Richtsmeier. Photos from the game.

Grand Valley goalie Danny Kransberger – a transfer from Detroit Mercy – was the MCLA Division-2 player of the month for March.

Aquinas eased into the CCLA Playoffs with a 5-4 win over Ferris State Tuesday.

Recruiting

Detroit Country Day’s Ahmed Iftikhar gets some press (and video) for being ranked among the country’s best goalies. He’ll head to Ivy League Penn next year.

The Hill School (Pa.) defenseman Graham Conlan, a 2012 Michigan signee, is looking tohelp forge a lacrosse tradition at Michigan.

Michigan picked up a 2014 out of Culver Academy (Ind.). From Inside Lacrosse:

PJ Bogle, Attack, Culver Academy (Ind.) has verbally committed to Michigan. The 6-0, 175 lbs. recruit attended UPLax in the fallwith True Lacrosse. Bogle was also considering Princeton, UPenn, Harvard, and Notre Dame.

Not their most extensive breakdown, but there you go.

Etc.

Michigan Wolverines Lacrosse Gear

Michigan was featured on Inside Lacrosse’s gear zone feature. That’s from whence comes the picture at right (obviously), but you can check out much more by going to their site.

Inside Lacrosse delves into the world of tempo-free statistics, though they’re using formulas a little different than those we’re employing at Tempo-Free Lax.

Michigan’s club lacrosse team lives on. It seems like it’s come a long way since I covered them in the summer.

Aquinas women’s coach Frank Rogers reached out to share the word on his team:

The Aquinas College Women’s Lacrosse team will head out tomorrow morning for Georgia and the NWLL National Championship (NAIA). The Saints enter the tournament as the Number 4 seed after completeing a 14-5 regular season.

AQ has the Number 2 rated Offense and Defense in the Nation, and they feature 13 different players who have 10 points or more on the season. They are lead by All American canidates Hannah Brogger (82g 35a 117pts), Kati Rogers (60g,16a 76pts), Liza Flewelling (19g 34a 53pts), Lauren McCarty (31g 16a 47pts) and Michelle Murphy and Alexa Bruns both with 40 total points.
