"War on the Shore"


Enjoy "War on the Shore" at the Stadium, on Television or Online
The "biggest little lacrosse game in America" is just five weeks away and Washington College alumni are encouraged to cheer on the Shoremen as they do battle against archrival Salisbury University in the "War on the Shore," Saturday, May 7, on Kibler Field at Roy Kirby, Jr. Stadium.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO WATCH THE GAME:
  • See it at the Stadium
    The best, of course, is in person. The "War on the Shore" has an atmosphere unsurpassed in Division III athletics. The game routinely draws more than 2,000 fans, and Roy Kirby, Jr. Stadium will be a packed house - not to mention the hundreds of Washington College students who will be enjoying the game from just outside the north end of the stadium between Sassafras and Chester Halls. There will be a special alumni and friends BYOB pre-game tailgating section set up outside the stadium beginning at 11:00 am. (Note: There will be no skybox seating available during the game due to the television broadcast.)

  • Watch it on TV If you live in the greater Baltimore media market, you can watch the game live on WMAR-TV, ABC 2. For the first time ever, the "War on the Shore" will be the station's featured Game of the Week.

  • Catch it Online
    You may also be able to watch the broadcast live online on ESPN3.com. ESPN3.com is available free on college campuses and military bases and via most major Internet service providers, including Atlantic Broadband, Bright House, Cavalier, Comcast, Cox, TimeWarner, and Verizon. For more information on ESPN3, find out if your Internet provider carries it.

Coverage of this year's game will begin at 1:00 pm, with face-off scheduled for 1:06. The winner of the game will be awarded the Charles B. Clark Cup. Clark, a 1934 graduate of Washington College, was an educator and lacrosse coach at both Washington and Salisbury and led both programs to national prominence.
