Triangle Sports Roundup: Sticks, pucks and balls

Carolina Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner scores in shootout against New York Islanders - Peter Koutroumpis, PKS Consulting LLC

The Carolina Hurricanes' season nears an end as the team has two games remaining in completing a disappointing lockout-shortened 2012-2013 campaign that held much promise early on.

The Hurricanes' recent two-game win streak shows some signs of hope for next season, but the latter half of their 48-game season was marred with injuries and inconsistent play that left this young team floundering and emotionally fragile during the months of March and April.
While the 'fastest game on ice' comes to an end in the Triangle, there is a lot of excitement in Chapel Hill, N.C. as the 'fastest game on two feet' takes center stage as the ACC Men's and Women's Lacrosse Championships begin on Thursday and run through Sunday at Fetzer Field and Kenan Stadium.

All four North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils lacrosse teams are currently ranked in the top 10 of each of the NIKE/Inside Lacrosse, USILA Coaches, and deBeer Lacrosse polls.
Thus, the action and intensity still remains high with sticks swinging in different directions around the Triangle, but just from one surface to the other.

Hardwood hits

The fifth-ranked Duke Blue Devils (26-1, 16-0) continued to roll along, beating two ranked opponents (No. 24 Florida State, No. 9 Maryland) following the loss of their top point guard Chelsea Gray, and clinched their fourth consecutive ACC regular season title.

Dump n' chase

The Carolina Hurricanes are dealing with major lineup adjustments due to injuries while trying to maintain a hold on first place in the NHL's Southeast Division; most recently splitting a two-game road stint beating the New York Islanders 4-2 on Sunday, but losing 3-0 to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.

Quick sticks

The No. 19 Duke Blue Devils (2-3) continue to struggle early in the season, losing on the road to Penn and must now prepare to host the top-ranked Maryland Terrapins on Saturday.

Triangle Sports Update: Three-pointers, slapshots, and GB's

NCAA Division I Basketball, Carolina Hurricanes, NCAA Men's Lacrosse  

As the first week of February nears an end, the college basketball season is headed into the crux of conference play in preparation for the upcoming March Madness that we all will allow to take our minds over.

The NHL regular season is already a sixth over after only eight games.

Yes. That's right - a sixth of the season is over and the Carolina Hurricanes are right at the water mark - sitting at 4-4 after a 4-1 in Toronto on Monday.

Not great, but not bad either.

As of last weekend, the NCAA college lacrosse season kicked into gear as well.

Though it was only one game, the debut of the High Point Panthers men's lacrosse program added another NCAA Division I program in the state of North Carolina, since NC State dropped it's program back in 1982.

The Panthers lost a respectable game in front of just over 2,000 spectators at home, to a Top 30 team, the Delaware Blue Hens by only two goals - 12-10.

Though only one game in, it is too early how good or bad, this team will be as a newbie to the NCAA scene and in the state of North Carolina.

With preseason #4/6 Duke Blue Devils and #7/4 North Carolina Tar Heels kick off their seasons at home this weekend.

The Tar Heels host Air Force on Friday at 7 p.m. at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C. while the Blue Devils host the #9 Denver Pioneers on Saturday at Koskinen Stadium in Durham, N.C. with the opening faceoff taking place at Noon.

More detailed lacrosse coverage of Duke, North Carolina and High Point will be coming soon, including InsideLacrosse.com's preview of the Duke Blue Devils.

Lots going on in the Triangle as the February continues on.
