There are only two games remaining in the MLL season and the Long Island Lizards are starting to feel the heat. The Lizards are currently one game ahead of the two teams tied for fourth, the Boston Cannons and Rochester Rattlers, but have to play the top ranked team this week, the Chesapeake Bayhawks. With two games left, the Lizards have no room for error because earlier in the season…
Boston got a huge win against Chesapeake and Ohio unfortunately lost to Rochester last weekend. However, that doesn’t mean the Machine will lose to the Cannons. Ohio has the capability to come back late in games and win. They showed that they are a second half team in their game against the Rattlers last weekend. They were down 7-3 at the end of the first half and came back to…
With a big win over the Hamilton Nationals last night, the Denver Outlaws are now tied with the Chesapeake Bayhawks for first place in the league. The Outlaws had their foot on the gas the entire game and never let up. Jordan McBride led all players with an outstanding eight points (6 g,2 a) en route to a big 21-12 win. Despite winning and being tied for first, the Outlaws…
The Rochester Rattlers needed a win to still control their own destiny. They defeated the Ohio Machine, 14-13. Rochester led most of the game, but Ohio made things interesting later on. In a game that the Rattlers needed to win, Kevin Leveille and Matt Striebel opened the game with goals for the Rattlers. Leveille and Jordan MacIntosh would also score to close out the first quarter, sandwiching a Chazz Woodson goal…
The Long Island Lizards held on to their third place position in the MLL standings with a victory over the Charlotte Hounds last night. With the win, the Lizards maintain their one game lead over the Boston Cannons and Rochester Rattlers who are both tied for the fourth and final playoff spot. Led by Matt Gibson (2 g, 2 a) the Lizards were able to distance themselves in the fourth…
The Boston Cannons picked up a huge victory today against the Chesapeake Bayhawks, 16-13, and now they can feel a lot more confident about their playoff chances. In front of over 9,000, Boston stayed in the entire game and led most of the second half to win the game. They face the Ohio Machine in the next two weeks, and if they win both those games, they will be in…
With only three games left until Championship Weekend, the Rochester Rattlers (tied with the Boston Cannons for the final playoff spot) need to finish strong. Last week the Rattlers eliminated the Hounds from playoff contention in a 14-5 win. This week they take on the Ohio Machine, who were eliminated from playoff contention last week with a loss to the Chesapeake Bayhawks. Â The first time these two teams played the…
Tonight when the Denver Outlaws take on the Hamilton Nationals, they can leave the field knowing they will be a part of MLL Championship Weekend in Boston. Less can be said about the Hamilton Nationals, who no longer have anything to play for but pride. They were eliminated last week by the Long Island Lizards. Denver is in second place in Major League Lacrosse, trailing the first place Chesapeake Bayhawks…
One spot to the MLL playoffs has already been claimed by the Chesapeake Bayhawks. That leaves three spots left and four teams to compete for them; including the Rochester Rattlers. The Rattlers (6-5) are tied with the Boston Cannons for the final playoff spot heading into this week’s game against the Ohio Machine. With a 2-9 record the Machine have already been eliminated from the playoffs, but still have pride…
So last week with our loss to the Rochester Rattlers, we are officially out of playoff contention, but sometimes that’s what it takes for you to realize the privileges you have. When I attended Syracuse, the Senior class I was a part of lost a total of 8 games in 4 years. In my brief career in the MLL I have lost 18 games. Its so crazy how things can…
