Joe Spallina and the Long Island Lizards have had a great season that included a playoff spot, a Coach of the Year Award and a Rookie of the Year Award. The Lizards started the 2012 season off on a hot streak, going 5-2 through the first seven games, but then started to slump and finished the year 8-6. Long Island’s season was saved when the Charlotte Hounds upset the Rochester…
The Charlotte Hounds’ first season is in the books; and it will definitely be considered a successful one. The Hounds finish the season with a 5-9 record and had the fourth highest average attendance in the league. The Hounds started off the season slow, but really came together towards the end of the season and finished strong, on a two game winning streak. For having such great attendance in their…
The Long Island Lizards owe the Charlotte Hounds big time. The Lizards got blown out by the Hamilton Nationals last night and only advanced to the playoffs because the Hounds were able to upset the Rochester Rattlers. On a night when they really needed a win, the Lizards fell flat. Goalie Drew Adams was only able to stop 9 of 26 shots and only five players scored for them in…
It’s been a very exciting MLL season filled with unexpected wins and losses, and it all comes down to this week. There are two playoff spots and three times vying for those spots.

Hamilton has not played well in recent weeks, but would love…

Last night the Lizards fell to the Chesapeake Bayhawks 13-6 in Chesapeake. The Bayhawks have already clinched a playoff spot and the Lizards could have clinched with a win last night. Fortunately for them, as long as they can get a win against the Nationals next week, they are…
