GYM RATS LM’s annual ode to
the toughest laxers
VIVE LA CROSSE 32 Ú In a region where most sports fans could probably tell you the pros and cons of
the Montreal Canadiens’ 116th overall draft pick, but don’t know what a long pole is, a lacrosse renaissance has begun. By Daniel J. Rowe
GYM RATS 36 Ú Detroit Mercy’s conditioning paid off in 2013, just as a Syracuse trio hopes it will for
them in 2014. Plus, grueling team workouts and a group of officials who know how to go the distance. By Clare Lochary, Corey McLaughlin and Mark Macyk
THE MCCORD ACCORD 48 Ú Coach Mindy McCord, assistant Paul McCord and star player Taylor McCord have
made Jacksonville’s upstart women’s program a family affair. By Laurel Pfahler
BULLDOGS ON THE BRINK 52 ÚYale was three minutes away from its first final four since 1990. Syracuse had other
ideas. But this is no one-hit wonder. With a ton of talent back in 2014, the Bulldogs look like they’re here to stay. By Gary Lambrecht
