Former Albemarle Patriot Shines in College


Here at The Daily Greaser, we like to give credit where credit is due.  For instance, if you're an insanely obese individual choking down a cheeseburger that's at least three times the size of a normal human head, we'll gladly display your face below our blog name.  And if you're a former Albemarle Patriot shaking things up in Division I Lacrosse, we'll give you props as well.  

Enter Stephen Murray.  

The 6-4 midfielder entered the Carrier Dome with the rest of his Loyola Greyhound teammates this past Saturday and fought one of the nation's premiere lacrosse programs: the Syracuse Orange.  

In the third quarter, Murray was being pressed by the Orange defense and, while positioned slightly left of the net, ripped a shot into the back of the cage.  SU goalie John Galloway had no chance.  

Murray's second goal of the season sent the small group of Greyhound faithful into a frenzy and brought Loyola within striking distance.  The Orange, however, pulled away and now sits a top the national polls.  

Still, The Daily Greaser gives credit where credit is due, and tonight, we give a shout out to a kid that carried a stick of deodorant and a plastic spoon around with him in high school.  

Here's to you Stevie, you make us proud.
