TEMPE, Ariz. (March 13, 2010) – The Colorado State Rams won a fierce game against the Arizona State Sun Devils, keeping neck and neck most of the game, and taking the lead early in the fourth quarter.

“We fought hard from start to finish and I’m so proud of our guys for executing our game plan,” said Head Coach Alex Smith. “Today’s game was well played on both sides, and both teams were statistically well matched. ASU is a terrific lacrosse team and we had to work hard for this one, that’s for sure,” Coach Smith said.

The first half was an intense display of both teams’ abilities. The two teams traded goals, never getting more than one point ahead of the other. Plays were executed with precision, and Rams’ goalie Alex Jacques made a number of huge saves. Read the rest of this entry »

Coast Guard Academy Lacrosse Family Reunites After Decades Apart

March 12th, 2010

For Immediate Release – US Coast Guard Academy Lacrosse

Annapolis, MD – Sunday, March 7th, 2010 was a great day for the Coast Guard Academy Lacrosse program, but it had nothing to do with a Championship, a win, a coveted new recruit or a spectacular play.  It had to do with a family reunion.  After 21 long years of separation, the Senyard Family was reunited with the Coast Guard Academy Lacrosse family.

John Senyard was one of the key figures in the founding of the Coast Guard Academy Lacrosse team.  A member of the Coast Guard Academy Class of 1983, John was a Baltimore kid that grew up with an intense love for the game of lacrosse.  As a cadet, John was often seen roaming the decks of Bravo Company in Chase Hall (the cadet barracks) with a lacrosse stick in hand.  He attempted on several occasions to start a Men’s Lacrosse team without success.

However, his persistence and example to junior cadets sparked the launch of the Men’s Lacrosse team during the spring following his graduation.  One of those junior cadets, Charlie Turner, CGA ‘86, remarked “I’m convinced that the Coast Guard Academy Lacrosse program would never have come to fruition without John Senyard. We underclassmen were emboldened by a small, but loyal group of seniors who kept playing lacrosse because of John”.  All information pointed to the fact that John Senyard was the spark that started the lacrosse team – John Senyard was the “Father of Coast Guard Academy Lacrosse”.

FCS’ coverage of the 2010 MCLA Championships – The Schedule

March 12th, 2010

Ethan Ritz, executive producer of the 2010 MCLA Championships on Fox College Sports, writes an open letter to all followers of the MCLA and those interested in this year’s telecast of the season-ending tournament in Denver.

Fans of MCLA,

Lots of new Twitter adds today. This is great and I look forward to the dialogue to grow.

First off, let’s discuss last year’s show.  I thought they went very well. We had some issues like a few graphics mistakes and tape cues but that’s live television.

Coverage of this year’s tournament will begin on Friday, May 14, 2010. We will cover both MCLA Division 1 semifinal games. We will then broadcast the Division 1 and Division 2 championship games on Saturday, May 15, 2010 (Airtimes have not be finalized as of yet). This is the same amount of coverage we did last year.

Last year, between games, we aired what is known as a “bridge show.”  Rather than go back to the FCS studios for analysis, we provided that with our host Josh Gross and analyst Michael Allan. The guys provided a recap of the first game each day and a preview of second game.  While the guys did a great job, I want to make this part of the broadcast to be better this year.

As much as I would love to travel to shoot and do interviews at schools across the MCLA, budget restrictions preclude a travel of this nature at this point. I’m coming to you, the MCLA fan. I’m soliciting story ideas from you. If you have a camera and can provide footage for use, that would be great as well. Give it your best shot. I’m looking for packages that run 2 minutes to 2:30 minutes.  I have a YouTube channel at UTLAX. You can upload your ideas to me there or submit via email at UTLAX@aol.com. Be sure to add “2010 MCLA Championships Story Idea” to the header.

Thanks, Ethan
