On a rainy night in Utah, the Archers LC handed Atlas LC their first loss of the season 11-10. With the first game of the PLL’s night postponed due to rain, Archers and Atlas was the main event.

Another victory was claimed by the City of Champions on Sunday afternoon as the Boston Cannons took the 2020 MLL championship 13-10 over the Denver Outlaws. Boston didn’t have a great start to the MLL season, losing to Chesapeake and Connecticut, but a solid win over Denver on Friday secured them the fourth seed. The two should have faced off in a semi-final on Saturday, but the semis were cancelled…
The defending Premier Lacrosse League champion Whipsnakes picked up right where they left off with a season-opening 13-9 win over Redwoods on Saturday at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman, Utah. The Whipsnakes defeated Redwoods in last year’s championship so it was like the game was just coming back from a long intermission – though each team stocked up on talent. Whipsnakes added Zed Williams, who made an immediate impact with…
Turns out the Boston Cannons have more fight in them than we gave them credit for. A day after losing to the Connecticut Hammerheads, the Cannons roared back like the veteran team they are to beat the previously undefeated Denver Outlaws 10-8. With the Bayhawks beating the Hammerheads earlier in the day, the field for Saturday’s semi-finals is set. And if you enjoyed Friday’s heavyweight matchup between Boston and Denver,…
Sorry… Ward, who? Currier, who? Sunday, the Denver Outlaws defeated the Philadelphia Barrage (0-2) 15-10 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium as the MLL continues its shortened season in Annapolis. In our Outlaws’ team preview, we mentioned the loss of two bonafide stars to the PLL. But an impressive 2-0 start for the Outlaws has the team looking even better than they did the last four years challenging for the MLL…
The Boston Cannons kicked off their 20th season with a come-from-behind 16-14 victory over their rivals, the New York Lizards, on Saturday afternoon at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, where the MLL is holding their week-long condensed season. The Lizards were hoping for a victory after finishing last in the 2019 season, but faced an uphill battle on offense. They had no more Mark Matthews to counteract the retooled…
