    The MLL regular season ended last weekend, and the two teams with the most Duke alums, Rochester and Charlotte, finished first and last, respectively. Rochester hosts Ohio in one semifinal on Saturday, while the other features New York at Denver. Alas, poor Charlotte, they have traded away their first-round pick in next year's draft, so they did not win the Lyle Thompson Sweepstakes.

    Justin Turri ended the regular season as the highest-scoring Duke alum in the league, just ahead of Rochester teammates Jordan Wolf and Dave Lawson.

    Jordan Wolf finished second in the balloting for MLL rookie of the year. This is really not a surprise. Although Jordan led all attackmen in the league in points per game, and his per-game average, if applied over 14 games, would have made him the league's leading scorer, he only played half the season. The award went to Kieran McArdle of Florida, who broke the rookie records for goals and points.

    The NCAA men's lacrosse rules committee is in the middle of a three-day meeting. It is widely believed that one of the outcomes of the meeting will be the institution of a shot clock beginning next season, although there is apparently no consensus as to how long the clock will be, whether there will separate clocks for clearing and possession in the offensive zone, and a host of other issues. There may also be action taken regarding FOGOs making plays with the ball in the back of the stick.

    NCAA press release on the rules committee recommendations.

    http://www.ncaa.com/news/lacrosse-me...all-procedures

    Highlights:

    - no shot-clock per se. The 30-second "timer on" for stalling stays, but there will be a visible 30-second clock.

    - a clampdown (pun intended) on FOGOs playing with the ball in the back of the stick. The old-school clamp-and-rake technique is back.

    - something about requiring more contrast between uniform numbers and the base color of the jersey. Hopefully this means we've seen the last of Duke's illegible Confederate gray alternate kit, as well as some of the abominations that UA and Warrior have come up with for Maryland and Princeton in recent years.

    Forgot to mention this when it was announced on Tuesday, but Duke alum Justin Turri was named the MLL Most Improved Player for 2014. After two years of playing mostly d-mid and hardly scoring at all, he became part of what might have been the best midfield line in the league this year (with fellow Duke alum Dave Lawson and Jordan McIntosh from RIT), and blew up for 34 points on 19 goals (including two two-pointers) and 13 assists. Well done, Justin!

    His Rochester teammate and former Duke assistant coach, John Galloway, was named today as the 2014 Goaltender of the Year. Congrats, Coach.

    Rochester (aka Team Duke-a-Cuse) plays Ohio tomorrow afternoon in the league semifinal.

    The post-season honors continue to roll in for the Rochester chapter of the Duke lax alumni association. Mike Manley is the overwhelming choice for MLL DPOY. Congrats, Mike. Looking forward to seeing you, @thebigbadwolf31, Dave Lawson, and Justin Turri hoist the Steinfeld Cup on Saturday in Atlanta.
