Jim Donaldson: Hobart upsets Bryant lacrosse
Bryant’s four-year run as NEC tournament champs is over.
It’s likely that the Bulldogs’ string of three straight NCAA tournament appearances is, too.
In a stunning upset, Hobart beat Bryant , 7-6, Thursday night in the semifinals of the Northeast Conference tourney in Philadelphia.
In what was no surprise at all, Providence College also lost Thursday night to defending national champion and currently No. 1 ranked Denver, 17-8, in the semis of the Big East tournament in Denver.
The Friars were 1-4 in conference play in the regular season while the Pioneers hadn’t lost a home game since 2013 and had beaten PC two weeks earlier in Providence, 17-7.
