10. #1 Albany Great Danes vs UMass Minutemen (2018) | Top Lacrosse Games on LSN

by Bailey Kennedy Nov 11, 2021

As we get ready for the start of the 2022 lacrosse season, I will be counting down the top 10 games currently available on VOD at Lax Sports Network. 

We begin with a game from 2018 between Albany and UMASS.  It wasn’t an upset, it wasn’t an incredible back and forth game, in fact, this game wasn’t particularly close at all with Albany cruising to a 19-8 victory.  The reason it’s on this list is because of all the insane highlight-reel plays and the incredible performances of the Great Danes’ dynamic duo of Connor Fields and Tehoka Nanticoke.

Fields, who now stars in the Premier Lacrosse League with the Archers, had a day putting up a career-high 12 points on 5 goals and 7 assists.  Nanticoke, then a freshman, produced 8 points in the game on 5 goals and 3 assists.

Fields and Nanticoke will be back together for this upcoming National Lacrosse League season as teammates on the Buffalo Bandits. 

Also on the Great Danes’ roster for this game was the NCAA’s all-time leader in virtually every Face-off statistic, TD Ierlan (Redwoods) who went 17-23 at the X and added a goal. 

Four other current Premier Lacrosse players currently on the active roster also played in this contest. Troy Reh (Chaos) and JD Colarusso (Atlas) for Albany, and Jeff Trainor and Sean Sconone for UMASS.  Trainor, who is now a teammate of Connor Fields in the PLL, had 2 of the Minutemen's 8 goals in this one while Sconone came on in the 2nd half and made 7 saves.
