The Tigers held Navy to just one goal in the first half of Tuesday night’s game. But five unanswered goals by the Midshipmen kick-started a dominating second half that allowed Navy (3-3) to walk out of Johnny Unitas Stadium with a 10-6 victory. After Towson (2-3) took a 2-1 lead into halftime, senior Travis Love replaced junior goalkeeper Andrew Wascavage, who made three saves and gave up just one goal. However, Love did not benefit [...]

For the first time this season, the Tigers held an opponent to fewer than 10 goals, beating Mount St. Mary’s 10-8 at Johnny Unitas Stadium Saturday afternoon in Towson’s home opener. The win marked Towson’s second victory of the season, the first since Feb. 11’s season opener against Jacksonville. The Tigers did not play a well-rounded game, however.

Following a rough 3-10 2011 campaign, changes had to be made if the Tigers wanted a more successful season in 2012. When Shawn Nadelen was hired in May to replace Tony Seaman as the head coach, he immediately implemented a different culture for the Towson lacrosse program. “Coach Nadelen brought in this mentality of ‘We’re going to change the way Towson lacrosse plays.’ We all just followed him and he’s a winner, so he’s leading [...]

In a back-and-forth battle between two programs with new coaching staffs, Towson bested the Jacksonville Dolphins 12-10 in Saturday afternoon’s season opener, earning Shawn Nadelen his first victory as head coach.

After suffering a 3-10 season with just one conference win, first-year, 32-year-old Head Coach Shawn Nadelen took the squad from 30-year veteran Head Coach Tony Seaman. Nadelen comes with a wealth of experience.  After playing for Johns Hopkins, he went on to play a decade in Major League Lacrosse, winning two championships and earning an All-Star appearance in 2006. Although Nadelen spent seven years [...]
