August 11, 2012— 6,034 fans packed into American Legion Memorial Stadium last night to see if Charlotte could end the final 7 games of the season above .500, as well as ruin the playoff chances of the Rochester Rattlers who had previously beat Charlotte 14-5 at home. Rochester seemed to be in to give Charlotte a similar fate after starting out with a 3-0 lead before Eric Lusby scored after…
Natoinals Attack Vs. Lizards Attack Both teams pose an all-around threat on offense, the Nationals rely on Syracuse grads Cody Jamieson who has been effective in only 8 games (20 points) and Stepehn Keough (25 goals). The Lizards attack is led by Tommy Palasek, Matt Gibson, and Greg Catalino. If Gibson can stay energetic behind the cage and continue feeding Palasek and Catalino with quick passes the Lizards offense should…
Charlotte ends a string of road trips in their away finale against the underachieving Hamilton Nationals at Ron Joyce Stadium. The Hounds and Nationals seem to be moving in opposite directions. As an expansion team, Hamilton (then Toronto) won the MLL championship their first year and haven’t been there since, now rising even as low being tied at second worst in the league. The Hounds are a first year team…
Hounds attack VS. Lizards Defense The Hounds attack has been extremely inconsistent (Only 12g in the past two games) but still has Matt Danowski, who many consider the best all around attackman in the league. Just having Danowski on the field can change the momentum of any game. No big names come out of the Long Island defense, though rookie LSM CJ Costabile is a force to reckon with on…
July 5, 2012— Although they were attempting (and somewhat expected) to resemble the old Toronto Nationals team that won an MLL title their first year in the league, the Hounds are still getting started. Boasting huge names like Matt Danowski, Billy Bitter, Jeremy Boltus, Jovan Miller, and the All-Star game’s MVP Stephen Berger has not been a problem this year, chemistry, however, has been. Way to many times this year…

June 30, 2012- The MLL All-Star game (ESPN2, ESPN3.com) will host the usual Young Guns vs. Old School format, this time however, the game will be in the beautiful area of Palm Beach, Florida. The Young Guns certainly appear to be an underdog in today’s match-up, but still boast some great players that will need to go their hardest to give the Old School ballers a run for their money….
June 22, 2012- The Hounds face a familiar foe in fellow expansion team, the Ohio Machine, tomorrow at Selby Field. On May 12th in Charlotte, the Hounds pulled out an 18-15 win after outscoring the Machine 5-1 in the second quarter, giving them a lead they would not relinquish for the remainder of the game. This time around, the Machine has home-field advantage against a Hounds team that has yet…
