2008 Men's Lax Championships Location Announced
A guy named Stu Brown and a few of his friends have watched the championships in places like Philadelphia and Baltimore, and they noticed that the game of lacrosse has been growing in their home state, Massachuesetts. Soon they asked the question "when will they play here?".
Next year, the 2008 championships will be played in the birthplace of the Revolutionary War, Boston, Massachuesetts. The question was asked almost three years ago, in 2004. They finally said yes for next year.
It has been 22 years since New England hosted the championships (In 1985, they were hosted in Providence, RI). The games will be played at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots and the New England Revolution. The only question now is who will get to go to Boston?

Johns Hopkins Wins!
BALTIMORE, MD- Duke's great season came to a close on Monday at M&T Bank Stadium. The top-seeded Blue Devils lost to the third-ranked Johns Hopkins, 12-11. That was Hopkins' second national championship in three years. They beat Duke 9-8 in 2005.
The Blue Jays scored within 12 seconds to start Hopkins' big lead. In the first half Hopkins scored ten goals and won 12 of 16 facoffs, while Duke scored four goals and only won 4 facoffs. It looked bad for the Blue Devils then.
In the third quarter, Duke went on an 5-0 run,with goals scored by Quinzani, Crotty, Ross, Catalino, and Lamade. Hopkins's Rabil ended the run early in the fourth quarter, but then Danowski scored to make 11-10. Duketied it up with a deflected pass off of Quinzani's stick. Then Huntley from Hopkins scored to make it 12-11. Duke had its chances, but couldn't score again.
According to the NCAA, some of Duke's players who didn't get to play in the cancelled season (due to the "incident" last year) will recieve an extra year of eligability. In other words, they can play next year even if they are a senior this year.
