CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. - It was a matchup of first-place Major League Lacrosse teams when the Bayhawks faced the Long Island Lizards last night. But it was a trio of former Long Island-area players who stole the show for the visitors. Mark Millon had five goals and an assist - including four second-half goals - and Dan Denihan added two goals and three assists, but the story was the defense and goalie Greg Cattrano. The former Brown standout made 23 saves, as the Bayhawks stifled the Lizards' high-powered offense - holding it to two second-half goals - in a 16-10 victory before 3,781 at EAB Park.

COLLEGE PARK - If Princeton is to climb one more mountain today and sit on top of the lacrosse world, freshman defenseman Damien Davis knows he will have to stop the nation's most feared attackman, Ryan Powell. Davis has advanced so far in his first season for the Tigers that he is certain to be asked to take on the three-time Syracuse All-American when the game is on the line. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound former Gilman three-sport standout has the physical gifts to take Powell in what figures to be a classic battle of skills.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Damien Davis will be only the third freshman defender in 13 seasons to start for Princeton when he comes to Homewood Field for tomorrow's season opener at No. 3 Johns Hopkins. But Davis always has had the tendency to dive right in and go after things. Reginald Davis calls Damien "the most independent and fearless" of his four children, including James, 22, Alex, 21, and Allison, 13. Marilyn Davis recalled how 2-year-old Damien, longing to follow his father to work, set out on a two-block trek, all alone, before friends brought him home.
