The NCAA men's lacrosse championships are this weekend at Gillette Stadium, beginning with the national semifinals tomorrow.

Mike Szostak has an interview with Mike Pressler, the Bryant coach who was at the helm at Duke before that program was rocked by scandal in 2006. Pressler resigned under pressure before three Duke players whom an exotic dancer had accused of rape were cleared of all charges. He plans on digging out an old Blue Devils shirt when his former team, number one in the country, plays in tomorrow's national semifinal against defending champion Johns Hopkins.
