Featuring a cover photo of Marissa Mills, the April 2011 issue of USA Lacrosse Magazine posed the question, “Is Adelphi college lacrosse’s most dominant team?”
It was certainly a fair question, given that the Panthers were chasing their third straight NCAA Division II national championship that season and waltzed into April with a 6-0 record that included five blow-out victories.
Mills, a junior midfielder at the time, was one of the stars fueling the juggernaut, having already contributed as a starter on championship squads in her first two campaigns.
“There’s no doubt, we were the most dominant team,” Mills Brown said recently. “That went back to the way we practiced every day.
We went full out all the time. It was a great group. We actually felt like we got a break on game day.”
The 2011 Adelphi team did indeed capture a third straight NCAA title and finished the year undefeated with a 20-0 record. The Panthers averaged over 21 goals per game that season and boasted a winning margin of over 16 goals per game.
Adelphi’s 17-4 victory over Limestone in the final game established a new record for largest margin of victory in the Division II women’s championship game. Mills contributed to that record with four goals and was one of five Panther players named to the NCAA’s All-Tournament Team.
“Hosting the final four in 2011 made that championship even more special for us,” Mills Brown said. “It was just a blast.”
The following season, with Mills serving as one of the senior team captains, Adelphi won its first five games before having its 30-game winning streak halted with a one-goal loss against conference rival Le Moyne. Another archrival, C.
W. Post, then ended the chase for a fourth straight title by upsetting the Panthers 14-11 in the NCAA tournament’s first round.
“I was pretty bitter after that loss,” Mills Brown said. “When you’ve had the level of success that we’d had, anything short of a championship is not a successful year.”
As a four-year starter, Mills helped Adelphi to a cumulative 73-4 record over her career, with two undefeated seasons, three NCAA championships and four conference championships.
Even before graduating, Mills had also started down a coaching path, serving with the highly regarded Yellow Jackets club program while she was still at Adelphi. It seemed like a logical step for Mills, who was the product of a true lacrosse family.
Brown’s father, Ray Mills, was an All-America defender at Hofstra in the 1970s, and in 2008, he became the fourth African-American inducted into the Long Island Metropolitan Lacrosse Foundation Hall of Fame. Her younger sister, Felicia, joined Marissa at Adelphi in 2012 and eventually became a two-time national champion and two-time All-American.
Ray Mills coached both of his daughters during some of their youth and high school seasons on Long Island.
“He was demanding, but we always had the Slurpee rule,” said Mills Brown, an Islip, N.Y. native. “After a game or tournament, we would always get a Slurpee or cold beverage before we ever talked about the game or reviewed our performance. That was so positive.”
Mills is now married to an active-duty West Point graduate, Malcolm, and is the mother of an energetic 3-year-old, Nathaniel. The military life has taken the Browns all around the country in recent years. At each stop along the way, from Oklahoma to Texas to Colorado, Mills Brown has retained her connection with the game.
“Lacrosse has always been the constant,” Mills Brown said. “I’ve tried to stay involved with the game because it’s something that I really love.”
The same military life that steered her family around the country came full circle in 2020, bringing them back to Long Island. Mills Brown is now in her second season as an assistant coach at Molloy College, with full responsibility for the Lions’ defense.
“It’s been different to see and be a part of another Division II program on Long Island,” she said. “But I still use some of the same lessons, like practicing with pace and purpose, that I learned at Adelphi.”
As for that 2011 magazine cover, which was one of the first ones to feature a Black female player, Mills Brown says that it’s still making an impact.
“I can’t tell you how many times young girls have reached out to me because of that and shared their pride in seeing somebody like themselves playing the sport,” she said. “Representation is important and definitely leaves an impact. It’s exciting to see more diversity in the game, but there’s still more work to do.”

Lacrosse – the game of the American Indians – News
Lacrosse is a true North American sport that appeared on the continent long before the arrival of Columbus.
The American Indians invented the game to train warriors and also as a peaceful alternative to resolving conflicts between tribes. Different tribes called the game differently, among the names were “men hitting a round object”, as well as “little war”.
The scale of the historical prototype of modern lacrosse was impressive: they played on the fields, the area of which sometimes reached several kilometers, the teams were not limited and could reach hundreds of players, and boulders or trees were used instead of gates.
In modern men’s lacrosse, there are 10 players on the field, with 9 substitutions allowed (in women’s, the number of substitutions is unlimited). The size of the field is slightly smaller than a football field – 100 by 55 m, with square goals 1.8 m wide. The game lasts four quarters of 15 minutes of pure time. According to the rules, you can play with the opponent in the body, you can’t push in the back, hit on the helmet and trip. For such fouls – removal from the field from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Hands to grab the ball are not allowed.
“Lacrosse” is French for “staff”, but the main attribute of the game looks like a club, racket and net at the same time. Lacrosse is played with a special stick, which consists of a metal handle and a plastic head with a net. At the same time, for each playing position, their sticks are used – the attackers use short meter sticks, the ball after hitting them flies at a speed of up to 140 km/h. The sticks of the defenders are longer (from 1.3 to 1.8 m). This stick is more convenient to take the ball away from the opponent. A goaltender’s stick is similar to a defenseman’s stick, but has a larger head to make it easier to catch the ball.
Lacrosse is a fairly productive game (which predetermined its popularity in North America, where they sincerely do not understand how a match can end with a score of 0:0), on average 10-15 goals are scored in one match. At the professional level, lacrosse is not developed in Russia, but, for example, in St.
Petersburg there is an amateur team, the backbone of which is made up of foreigners and which accepts all enthusiasts.

The most ridiculous names of cars / vlasti.

net
Read the news in Ukrainian
in an effort to be original, manufacturers sometimes take unexpected steps, as a result of which cars do not with the most harmonious names from the assembly line, how much do not change names, better the car will not become.
As you know, an attractive name is of great importance for the commercial success of a car.
In an effort to be original, manufacturers sometimes take unexpectedly ridiculous steps, as a result of which cars with not the most euphonious names roll off the assembly line.
On the other hand, no matter how many names you change, it won’t get better. For example, the export name LADA did not make the Russian car industry better…0024 Mazda LaPuta
Well, how could Japanese automakers know that the beautiful name of the flying island from Gulliver’s Travels in Spanish colloquially means “whore”?
2nd place can be safely awarded Mitsubishi Pajero
In this case, the bright minds of the Land of the Rising Sun decided to please potential Hispanic customers by choosing the Argentine Pampas cat Leopardus pajeros for the name.
The most harmless words that translate the slang Pajero are “masturbator” and “gouging”. That’s why I had to come up with another name for the car – Montero.
3rd place Nissan Moco
Again the Japanese have problems with the Spaniards. In their language, “Moco” means what little kids love to pick out of their own nostrils – simply “boats”.
4th place – Buick LaCrosse
Positioning this model for youth, Buick decided to give it the name of the popular sports game in North America – lacrosse. What was the surprise of GM bosses when in French-speaking Canada Buick LaCrosse flatly refused to buy it. And the thing turned out to be that in translation from French, the name of the car means “masturbating teenager.” The Americans were forced to rename LaCrosse to Allure.
5th place – Chevrolet Nova
In Spanish, “No va” means “Does not go” or simply: “Does not roll.
” And, naturally, General Motors’ attempt to market the Chevrolet Nova in Central and South America was a fiasco.
6th place — Opel Ascona
German automakers were also unlucky. In Northern Spain and Portugal, the word “Ascona” means female genitalia.
7th place – Honda Fitta
Still, the Japanese have the most punctures with names. Take, for example, the word Fitta, which means “vagina” in obscene Swedish and Norwegian. It is clear that no one will drive such a car in Scandinavia. But we must pay tribute – the samurai quickly realized the mistake and for car sales in Europe they dubbed it Jazz “th, and for themselves and the Americans they reduced the” piquant “name to three letters Fit.
8th – Daihatsu Charade
It can only be said that it is a real charade – in the sense of a headache for the owners.
The Dodge Swinger climbed to penultimate place
And you probably already know why.
After all, you can only read about who swingers are in adult magazines.
In 10th place AMC Gremlin
The amazing indiscretion of designer Richard Teague, who chose such a repulsive name for his offspring, is noticed by carclub.ru. Teague named this car after one of the most vile characters in British folklore, who has an irresistible passion to harm everything mechanical.
From myself, I could add a few more cars to the list. The first thing that comes to everyone’s mind is Volkswagen Passat – the association with the urethral verb arises without delay. The name Daewoo Kalos is very consonant with the first name, although this car is called Lanos on the Russian market. We can say that in this case, marketers have shown timely common sense.
In general, it must be said that the “inconsistency” of names with the national language of a certain market is a widespread process.
