Coach Osborne on Billy: “This year’s lacrosse team will rely heavily on the Billy’s speed, quickness, and ability to score.  We hope that he will continue to provide leadership and develop some of his play-making abilities to make us a more dangerous offensive squad. He obviously had a strong year in 2007, earning All-league honorable mention and providing a solid goal scoring presence, but we hope he continues to strive to round out his game, again, with leadership, play-making and passing, and supply a consistent example of good effort and attitude everyday in practice. We expect just that and feel we can be a very competitive team in the NAC this season.”

Brackets: How Do You Really Pick the Winner?

It is the time of year that everyone loves, the time of year where anything and everything can happen: March Madness. Every Division One basketball team across the country has one goal at the beginning of each season, and it is to reach the big dance.

History has showed us (except the 16 seeds going up against the one seeds) that anything can happen once you get to the tourney. Teams that are overlooked throughout the year and even right before the tournament starts, tend to play at a level they themselves didn’t know they could reach.

A pair of sophomores led the offensive attack for JSC. Billy Noyes tallied two goals and two assists, while Erik Tillberg poured in a hat trick with three goals. Junior Matt Riani had a goal and two assists on the day and senior Kegan Pettit added a goal and an assist as well.
