Big Ten lacrosse; did anyone think it would happen this soon? Suddenly a new powerhouse in lacrosse has been formed; a conference that could truly change the landscape of the sport.

The MLL put their grand expansion plan in motion last season with the additions of the Charlotte Hounds and the Ohio Machine. If everything goes as planned and the MLL adds their two new expansion teams every other year, fans should be getting prepared for two new teams next season. All signs seem to point towards Atlanta being the host of one of those two new teams. For the second…
Yesterday it was reported that the Denver Pioneers will be moving from the ECAC to the Big East in a lacrosse only move, a move that seriously changes the landscape of college lacrosse. Denver, whose program has been on the rise, is a big prize for any conference. Denver joins a conference that is losing two of its best lacrosse programs in Syracuse and Notre Dame to other conferences, though…
1-3 certainly wasn’t the record that the Rochester Rattlers hoped they would have through four games, but they certainly aren’t alone or out of the race.

It went up until the last few seconds, but the Rochester Knighthawks did it. For the second year in a row the K-Hawks are on top of the league, this time winning the franchise’s fourth championship in front of a sold out crowd at the Langley Events Centre. Despite the victory, Rochester had to do all they could to hang on. Their 11-10 victory meant that they only scored one…
The 2013 season comes down to this, one last game to decide who will walk away with the Champions Cup.
