THE SCOOP] ground balls $185,000 7


US Lacrosse’s 2014 budget for safety research. The organization has already allocated nearly half of that total for three studies, with additional grants coming shortly.


53 8 Years


since the Middlebury


men lost by as many goals as they did against Tufts in the season opener, 24-6. The Panthers lost to Harvard, 23-3, in 1961.


Goals scored by Miles


Thompson—


including three of behind-the-back variety—in Albany’s 14-8 win March 1 over Harvard.


Goals


scored by Abby Wheeler—including two in the last 34 seconds of overtime— to lift Vanderbilt to a 16-15 upset March 2 of then-No. 13 Stanford. It was the Commodores’ first win over a ranked opponent in nearly two years.

Seconds left,


according


to officials, when Virginia’s Ryan Tucker scored the game-tying goal Feb. 6 against Loyola. The Cavaliers went on to win 13-12 in overtime, salvaging a game in which they coughed up an eight- goal lead in the fourth quarter.

Comparisons to Paul Gait inspired by


Jesse King’s five- goal performance in Ohio State’s 10-9 triple-overtime loss Feb. 11 to Johns Hopkins — from National Lacrosse Hall of Fame Mark Millon on Twitter and ESPN analyst Paul Carcaterra on TV.

Career- high points amassed by


Shannon Gilroy, a Long Island native, in Florida’s 14-1 win March 1 at Stony Brook. Gilroy scored three goals and dished a team-record six assists in the victory.


Players in NLL history to eclipse the 500-goal


mark. Toronto Rock forward Colin Doyle joined the 500 club (John Tavares, Gary Gait and John Grant Jr.) in dramatic fashion, scoring twice in the last two minutes of the Rock’s 14-12 win Feb. 22 over Minnesota. His 500th career goal came as time expired.

“You’re missing a huge opportunity to generate interest in the sport when you’re playing all of these games, and they might as well be played in Siberia.”
