In Quint Kessenich's weekly breakdown of the polls, he has this to say about UMass:

3 UMass -- The Minutemen had their first close shave, beating Penn State in overtime. Greg Cannella's team is getting offensive production from Will Manny, Art Kell, Kyle Smith and Anthony Biscardi. Stopper Tim McCormack (.615) ranks fourth nationally in save percentage.

Previews Of UMass' CAA Semifinal At Penn State

By Jason Yellin on May 4, 2011 8:40 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

The Daily Hampshire Gazette has a preview of the UMass-Penn State CAA Semifinal: UMass men's lacrosse gets shot at NCAA tournament.

If the University of Massachusetts men's lacrosse team were still in the ECAC, its season probably would be over.

The Minutemen had a solid 2011 season at 9-4, but their resume likely falls a little short of NCAA tournament at-large bid status without enough signature wins. The ECAC has no conference tournament and the Minutemen would have been stuck waiting for next year.

But now, as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association, hope is still very much alive as the No. 3-seed Minutemen (9-4) play No. 2 Penn State (7-6) tonight at 7 in the semifinal round of the CAA tournament at State College.

The Daily Collegian has this preview: UMass, PSU meet again for CAA Semifinals

For the No. 15 Massachusetts men's lacrosse team, Wednesday night's game has a simple motivation: win or go home.

The Minutemen (9-4, 4-2 Colonial Athletic Association) travel to Penn State for a rematch with the Nittany Lions in a CAA Semifinals matchup.

UMass coach Greg Cannella hopes his team does not change a thing despite the greater stakes.

After a disappointing month of March, the University of Massachusetts men's lacrosse team needed to turn the page, so coach Greg Cannella held his own version of show and tell.

"He ripped up the March page off the calendar and told us there were five games left in the season," recalled sophomore attack Kyle Smith of Longmeadow, who scored the game-winning goal in overtime in last Saturday's 9-8 win at Towson.

And now it's a three-game season for the Minutemen, who are 7-3 and 2-1 in the Colonial Athletic Association entering Saturday's huge conference clash against Drexel (6-5, 2-2) at Garber Field at 1 p.m.

Baltimore Sun Story On UMass Lacrosse

By Jason Yellin on February 2, 2011 9:19 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

The Baltimore Sun has a feature on the UMass men's lacrosse team as they prep for the 2011 season.

Last season was a disappointing one for Massachusetts, which went 8-6 and failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the last four years. A contributing factor was injuries, and Minutemen coach Greg Cannella said avoiding the injury bug is important again this year.

"A lot of things have to go your way," he said Monday. "This is a team that needs to have better leadership than the previous team from last year and also stay healthy. We're not as deep as we'd like to be. So health is definitely critical to us."
