NLL: Black Wolves hoping to replace Crawford’s scoring touch with field stars

September 24, 2020

The New England Black Wolves selected one of the smallest draft classes last week, acquiring just five new players in the NLL’s first virtual draft. They also acquired Jacob Ruest and the 24th overall pick from the Colorado Mammoth for their own two second rounders. The Black Wolves had to wait until the second round to get involved in the action, having traded their 2020 first-round pick to Georgia in…

NLL: Teat leads exceptionally strong Riptide draft class

September 23, 2020

With all the hype that Jeff Teat is bringing to the New York Riptide, it’s a shame that he won’t actually be suiting up until the 2021-22 season. When the NCAA granted a fifth year of playing eligibility to senior students to complete their collegiate careers, Teat decided to return to Cornell for one more shot at a championship with the Big Red. Another year of preparation isn’t necessary for…

Seven current NLLers have new homes after being traded during Thursday’s NLL draft. First to move was Jeff Wittig, who was sent to the Rochester Knighthawks for the 28th pick in the draft. Witting is a forward who will enter his third year in the league with 13 goals and 16 assists under his belt. Rochester needed to bolster their roster and Witting should start to come into his own…

March 8th was my last great day. I worked for the NLL at the Toronto Rock game, got a hug from my favourite Calgary Roughneck and took a ball in the chest from Tom Schreiber during warmup (he apologized; I thought it was hilarious). It was a great day. It was the last great day, because then COVID-19 hit. If you’re reading this, you’re probably as nuts about lacrosse as…

PLL: MVP Williams scores six as Whipsnakes repeat as champions

Sunday’s PLL championship was Whipsnakes LC’s to lose, and had it not been for a massive offensive outburst in the fourth quarter, they would have. But a 10-0 run was more than enough to power them past Chaos LC 12-6 for their second consecutive championship title. Zed Williams scored five of his six goals in the final quarter including four in a span of 1:56. He was named the series’…

PLL: Whipsnakes take first place after win over Archers

For most of the Premier Lacrosse League season, 11 goals would have been enough to win you a game. But when the Whipsnakes turn on the gas, look out. Eleven goals was nowhere near enough for the Archers on Sunday afternoon as the Whipsnakes scored 17, sewing up first place in the PLL and a bye to the semi-finals. The Archers will face Atlas at 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both…

PLL: Currier contributes hat trick in Waterdogs’ first win

With each PLL team making Tuesday’s elimination round, it wasn’t actually necessary for a team to get any wins in group play. Yeah, okay, I laughed out loud at that sentence, too. This is lacrosse – there’s so much pride on the line and passion for the game that no team would be content to just coast through and wait to strike in the playoffs. But Chaos LC will have…

Archers Lacrosse Club moved to 2-0 on the young PLL season after a 9-7 win over Waterdogs LC on Tuesday night at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman, Utah. The Waterdogs fell to 0-2 with the loss. The Archers relied heavily on Adam Ghitelman, who took over in goal for Drew Adams at halftime. Ghitelman only gave up one goal in his 24 minutes of play. “We have a lot of…

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. It was the first game of the season for the Archers, who retained most of their roster from 2019. Atlas won over the Waterdogs on Sunday afternoon, so they now fall to…
