[NU Sports] The Purple Dynasty

[Roy Lamberton]

What is even more impressive is that the Philadelphia-Baltimore area considers
Lacrosse to be "their" sport.

Much of the medical research into Lacrosse injuries is done in this area,
Salisbury University over on the Eastern Shore is a Div III Powerhouse. The rise
of HS Lacrosse is one of the reasons given for the decline in HS Baseball and
Football since it gives the athletes another contact sport to play.

The real challenge would be to get the championship game in the Midwest some
day.
