BALTIMORE. March 5, 2007—Attackmen Steven Boyle of Johns Hopkins and Ben Rubeor of Virginia each earned Sportexe Player of the Game honors for their efforts in the season-opening lacrosse doubleheader at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Saturday.
Four elite college teams met in the inaugural Inside Lacrosse Face-Off Classic over the weekend that drew the largest crowd to watch a regular-season match when 20,180 attended.
Johns Hopkins defeated Princeton 7-6 in double overtime in the first game at M&T Bank Stadium. Virginia beat Syracuse 11-8 in the second game.
All four teams are ranked in the top 10 nationally, and they have won every NCAA Division I championship since 1992.
Boyle scored three goals on the day, including two big first-half goals that took the score to 2-1, then to 3-3, respectively. He also scored in the third quarter to tie the game at 5-5.
Boyle, a freshman who played at Pinkerton Academy in New Hampshire, entered the season with the most hype, ranking No. 2 on Inside Lacrosse’s 2007 Blue Chip recruit rankings.
Rubeor, who finished with three goals and two assists, tied the game at 8-8 in the second half en route to the Cavs’ come-from-behind victory.
“The event was simply awesome,” said John Burke, Sportexe Director of Lacrosse. “Inside Lacrosse did a great job with this event and it showed with a record crowd. No one could have asked for better performances than those given by Boyle and Rubeor. They both exemplified the same qualities that make Sportexe the world’s top synthetic turf brand.”
Sportexe, the synthetic turf system used by M&T Bank – home of the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, sponsored the Classic’s player of the game award.
M&T Bank Stadium will also host the NCAA men’s lacrosse championships during Memorial Day weekend in May.
