NLL: Rochester continues to climb standings, beating Albany for second consecutive week

March 20, 2024

Don’t look now, but here come the Rochester Knighthawks. For the second time in as many weeks, Rochester was set to do battle with one of their instate rivals, the Albany FireWolves. Last week, Rochester had an offensive explosion, beating Albany 18-12. This contest was much closer, but had the same result. Using a six-goal run between the end of the first and beginning of the second, Rochester snuck out…

The final game of the Week 15 Saturday night slate was the Saturday Showcase and was a preview of what’s to come in the playoffs. The San Diego Seals played host to the Halifax Thunderbirds, both of which sat in the top five in the NLL Standings. It was a 10pm start EST, so I hope you had your coffee. Oh, and I hope you like the color purple, because…

With the middle of the standings crammed going into the last few months of the season, Saturday night’s tilt in Long Island saw two teams jockeying for position. The New York Riptide, who sat in the final playoff position, played host to a hungry Las Vegas Desert Dogs team who sat in 13th place, but was right in the thick of it. This game had special meaning as well as…

Friday night they took their home floor against a Vancouver Warriors team who was in desperate need of a winning streak of their own. Albany’s defense and goaltending was the story, as they continued to put the league on notice with…

It was Marvel Superhero Night in Buffalo, New York Friday night, and there were plenty of superheroes to choose from. No, not Marvel characters, actual lacrosse players that took the floor. The Bandits played host to the Saskatchewan Rush, the first meeting of these two teams in over 2000 days. If you didn’t see this game, you need to rewatch it. Highlight-reel goals, tit-for-tat scoring, a Matt Vinc return, and…

The March to May is officially upon us and Saturday night featured two young teams with their eyes set on the ultimate prize. The red-hot Albany FireWolves played host to the equally dynamic New York Riptide. The future of lacrosse and the NLL would be on full display in this game, and I’m sure I can speak for most in saying that we are so here for it. Albany took…

For the first time since February of 2020, the Buffalo Bandits walked into Rogers Arena in Vancouver ready to battle the Warriors. These two clubs are eerily similar when it came to needing a win, badly. Buffalo, the reigning champs may I remind you, have been an injury-ridden, sputtering mess. Vancouver, the last place team, still was not out of playoff contention, but needed to string some wins together. Buffalo…

In the NLL, there are many rivalries, some new, some old. It appears as though a new one is blooming right before our very eyes. The Buffalo Bandits took their home floor on Saturday night and welcomed in the Albany FireWolves. The first time these two clubs played in Albany to open the season, it was extremely physical and high scoring. This game in Buffalo followed suit. In front of…

Who’s ready for some NLL after dark? The Friday night contest between the Georgia Swarm and San Diego Seals came to you from Pechanga Arena, with an 11 p.m. start on the East Coast. If you couldn’t stay up for this game in its entirety, we highly suggest you rewatch, because man, it was good. The Charlie Daniels classic “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” is an all-time hit. Here’s…
