News and Analysis of Lacrosse

Even with Lacrosse's increased popularity, it still ranks far behind sports like baseball, football and basketball. As a result, finding information on pro and collegiate lacrosse is difficult. Traditional outlets like Yahoo and SI.com do little to cover lacrosse, forcing the average lacrosse fan to scour the Internet for the latest news and insights. We have collected the best sites for lacrosse fans to get the inside scoop.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • Message boards, which can be found on many of these sites, are a useful tool. They are full of news, opinions, and debates among fans that can help you gauge public opinion and gain new perspectives. Use caution, however. Most of the posters are completely anonymous and it is difficult to determine whether or not their posts are factually incorrect or biased.
  • Many newspapers do a good job of covering their local lacrosse teams, especially in traditional lacrosse hotbeds like Maryland, upstate New York, and Canada.
