After a great deal of turmoil over months and months the day has finally come. Tonight the Charlotte Copperheads and Jacksonville Bullies play their first ever in league game, and its been a long time coming. These two teams were announced almost a year ago now, but that’s for another time. Today is all about getting out on the floor and playing some lacrosse. The Copperheads head to Jacksonville with…
Today it was announced that Notre Dame would be moving to the ACC in all sports but football, a move that affects the landscape of collegiate lacrosse. The conference now boasts six of the proudest lacrosse programs in the country, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, Syracuse, and Notre Dame. They now have six members instead of four and will receive an automatic qualifier (not that it was really needed for these programs)….
Historically field lacrosse has been dominated by the Americans. The United States have won 9 out of 11 World Lacrosse Championships and boasts a majority of players in the MLL. However, they may not be alone when it comes to the world of lacrosse. Canadians are making their way outside, and its easy to see. Earlier this week Canada beat the United States in the Duel in Denver, which isn’t…
Last night saw twelve games of InLax Lacrosse League action, resulting in some teams proving their worth and others trying to prove the doubters wrong. Being week two most teams now have to games under their belt and are starting to show what they’re made of. Today we recap all of the action to see if your favorite team made you happy last night. Minnesota Maruders 17, Pittsburgh Cavaliers 19…
This has been a real crazy year for professional lacrosse, especially when it comes to “growth”. It appears that suddenly everyone wants to make greater efforts to spread the sport, and their method seems to be by starting new leagues. In the past year we have seen the introductions of the NALL, CLax, PLL, MILA, and now the new Prospects Lacrosse League. Its too early to say much about the…
We are nine days away from the PLL season, but things seem rather quiet. To some, a tad too quiet. None of the teams rosters have been announced yet. We assume that Charlotte and Jacksonville have groups together since they’ve had a great deal of time, but its a very different story for the league’s two newest franchises. New Jersey has managed to sign six players to their roster (one…
The MLL season has now come to a close with the Chesapeake Bayhawks on top for the fourth time in franchise history. Another chapter in the history of the league has now come and gone, and in my eyes it was an important one for the future. The most notable storyline we can take away from this season has been talked about a lot, the additions of Charlotte and Ohio….
If you’ve followed my work, you must know by now that I am obsessed with the idea of expansion. There is nothing I like more than the thought of the sport of lacrosse being spread to new markets for new people to see. Whether it is the NLL, MLL, or any of the new leagues starting up the idea of new teams is one of my favorite aspects of lacrosse….
Another week is upon us, meaning another week of MILA lacrosse. There are five games on this weekend’s slate, so we could see some movement in the standings come next week. The Colorado Sabretooths have a busy weekend as they begin their MILA season. They start off by hosting the Madison Capitals on Friday. They face a real difficult test on Saturday when they take on the undefeated Chicago Outlaws….
Week three of the MILA has come and gone, with a few teams showing their dominance over the rest. Even though its still quite early in the season, there are teams that have already turned heads around the league. The Chicago Outlaws moved to 2-0 with another victory over the Milwaukee Marauders. The game wasn’t even close, with the Outlaws leaving the score with a 23 to 7 victory. The…
