In the only meaningless game of the week, the Charlotte Hounds defeated the Hamilton Nationals, 11-9. There were no playoff implications from this game with both the Hounds and Nationals not in the playoffs. The Hounds dominated from the get go, starting out with a five to one lead after the first quarter. At the half they would still lead 7-5. It was a low scoring third quarter, with one…
The Boston Cannons picked up a huge win last night against the Ohio Machine, 19-13. It was the last home game of the regular season for them, and next week they will travel to Ohio. The Machine got out to a 3-0 lead, and then the Cannons scored one, but Ohio would score another one to lead 4-1. The quarter would end with Ohio holding a 5-4 lead. Boston took…
If the Boston Cannons win this game against the last place Ohio Machine, and the Rochester Rattlers lose to the first place Denver Outlaws, the Cannons clinch a spot in the 2012 MLL playoffs. Easy, right? Not if the Machine play like they did last week against Rochester, where their late surge almost gave them a victory and ensured the Cannons a playoff spot. Boston and Rochester are tied in…
Ryan Hotaling is one of the biggest names on a PLL roster. Playing with the Boston Blazers of the National Lacrosse League, he has plenty of experience. He is going to be on the Charlotte Copperheads in the PLL this season, and he has played this summer with the Vermont Voyageurs of the QSLL. Yesterday I talked to him about both. 1. How tough is the transition for you after…
The Vermont Voyageurs defeated the Montreal Phoenix to get to the Quebec Senior Lacrosse League finals, where they will take on the Kahnawake Mohawks. “Kahnawake has a deeper roster with more experience than Montreal has.” said Chad Fairfoull, the coach of the Voyageurs. “Kahnawake also has a very creative style of offence that is more about reading the play and reacting to it. Â Kahnawake will make tou pay for any…
The Rochester Rattlers needed a win to still control their own destiny. They defeated the Ohio Machine, 14-13. Rochester led most of the game, but Ohio made things interesting later on. In a game that the Rattlers needed to win, Kevin Leveille and Matt Striebel opened the game with goals for the Rattlers. Leveille and Jordan MacIntosh would also score to close out the first quarter, sandwiching a Chazz Woodson goal…
The Boston Cannons picked up a huge victory today against the Chesapeake Bayhawks, 16-13, and now they can feel a lot more confident about their playoff chances. In front of over 9,000, Boston stayed in the entire game and led most of the second half to win the game. They face the Ohio Machine in the next two weeks, and if they win both those games, they will be in…
The Vermont Voyageurs need just one more series win to advance to the Presidents Cup and represent the Quebec Senior Lacrosse League. Greg Rogowski scored the double overtime sudden victory game winner for Vermont as they took down the Montreal Phoenix and will now head to face the Kahnawake Mohawks in the QSLL finals. Rogowski scored four of the ten Vermont goals on the night. The Voyageurs also saw scoring…
Tonight when the Denver Outlaws take on the Hamilton Nationals, they can leave the field knowing they will be a part of MLL Championship Weekend in Boston. Less can be said about the Hamilton Nationals, who no longer have anything to play for but pride. They were eliminated last week by the Long Island Lizards. Denver is in second place in Major League Lacrosse, trailing the first place Chesapeake Bayhawks…
The Boston Cannons desperately need a win this afternoon as they take on the first place Chesapeake Bayhawks at home. The Cannons are in a tie for the last playoff spot with the Rochester Rattlers, and only one of them can make it. Meanwhile, the Bayhawks have a spot locked up. The Cannons and Bayhawks have met once this season, with the Bayhawks winning at home. Last season the two clubs faced…
