Coming off a 2010 season in which the men’s lacrosse team finished 8-6, won five of its last six regular season games and finished in a four-way tie for the Ivy League championship, the Bears are hungry to get on the field once more.
The women’s lacrosse team fell to No. 6 Penn, 19-5, in an away game Sunday, leaving the Quakers to win their fourth consecutive Ivy championship.
The men’s lacrosse team rose up to beat No. 8 Cornell, 13-10, Saturday in Ithaca, N.Y. The Bears outscored the Big Red, 9-2, in the second and third quarters, and then survived a furious Cornell rally in the fourth behind stout goaltending from Matt Chriss ’11, giving the program a badly-needed statement victory.
Providence College came into the men’s lacrosse game against Brown with no wins on the season. PC had nothing to lose. The Bears, (5-5, 2-2 Ivy) were looking to gain momentum going into key Ivy League contests. In a game that included a broken stick, an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a number of shots off the crossbar, Bruno prevailed with a 14-7 win to claim the first-ever Ocean State Cup.

In their last two home games of the season, the women’s lacrosse team lost to both Cornell on Friday and Boston College on Sunday in two close matchups. Cornell edged out Brown with just 1.5 seconds left on the clock, and BC beat Brown with 11 seconds left in the second overtime. But the Bears left the field Sunday feeling positive about their performance against a strong BC team.
Saturday’s game between the Bears — the No. 19 men’s lacrosse team — and No. 16 Yale figured to pit two of the top teams in the country, but for much of the game only one team showed up.
The women’s lacrosse team extended its winning streak to three, longest of the season, with a 17-9 victory over Manhattan on Sunday. Kaela McGilloway ’12 led the offense with a career-high 10 points — five goals and five assists.
The No. 20 men’s lacrosse team rose up to beat Penn, 12-9, on Saturday in Philadelphia to advance to 5-4 overall and 2-1 in Ivy League play.
