NAVY MEN'S LACROSSE: Riding a six-game winning streak 10th-ranked Navy (8-1, 5-0 Patriot League) will play host to No. 4 Georgetown (4-2, 2-0 ECAC) tomorrow at 5 p.m. at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The contest will be televised live on CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV).
The game will mark the second Boyle Cup. The Boyle Cup is named in honor of longtime official Scott Boyle, who collapsed and passed away while officiating the Navy-Georgetown game at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on April 2, 2005.
Boyle was a tremendous ambassador of the game of lacrosse who was involved at every level of the game, whether it was little league, the collegiate level, the pros or even the World Games. He was well thought of throughout the lacrosse community. Scott's widow, Becky, and children, Kelly and Scott, will be guests and present the winner a trophy in Scott's memory.
