One week after tying a season-low in goals the Charlotte Hounds once again set a new low-mark. The Hounds (3-8) were shut-out in the fourth quarter en route to losing to the Rochester Rattlers (6-5) 14-5. Matt Striebel scored two goals and added two assists to tie for the team lead in points with four and earned Player of the Game honors. It was Striebel’s 133rd career MLL game, passing…
The Ohio Machine is last in the MLL standings with only one win, but it faces its best opportunity to improve on that this weekend. The Machine (1-7) will play a home-and-home series on back-to-back nights this weekend with the Hamilton Nationals (2-6). One more game means one more chance to win, and it comes against the team closest in the standings. It could also mean one last chance for…
One week ago today the Denver Outlaws broke the MLL attendance record when they defeated the Ohio Machine 17-13 in front of 30,128 fans. It was the team’s annual Fourth of July game, complete with post-game fireworks, and usually draws a large crowd. Last year’s game set the previous record with 27,184 fans coming out for the contest. Having over 30,000 fans attending a lacrosse game is something hardly ever…
The Rochester Rattlers may be the hardest team to figure out in all of Major League Lacrosse. The team sits in fifth place in the standings at 3-4, only a game and a half out behind the Boston Cannons for the final playoff position. Yet they are poor in some key categories. The team is dead last in goals scored (72). They are 1-4 on the road. They are sixth…
The Ohio Machine head to Denver to face the Outlaws on a July 4 bash. Both teams are coming off a loss before the All-Star game. Denver needs to get back on track in order to keep pace in the race for the playoffs while Ohio will need to win to help get out of the cellar of the league. Ohio may be in the bottom three in goals scored,…
The Long Island Lizards have been one of the biggest surprises in the league this year. The off-season saw them deal established players in order to stockpile draft picks and young assets. Then, Max Quinzani, a player they acquired, did not sign his contract to return to the league. The number one pick in the draft, Rob Pannell, was injured in the beginning of the collegiate season and has since…
The Hamilton Nationals may have sputtered through the first seven games of the season, going 2-5 and sitting sixth in the standings of the eight-team league. Â The lone-Canadian team still netted six All-Stars though, three for the Young Guns team and three for the Old School team. That ties Hamilton with Boston for second-most selections in the league and the balance of youth and experience shows the variety of talent…
The Major League Lacrosse 2012 All-Star game will pit the “Young Guns†–players who joined the league from 2009-2012—against the “Old Schoolâ€â€”players who joined the league from 2001-2008. It’s an interesting format that answers the age old question: who is better, the young guys or the older ones? The Old School team has all the familiar names from the past that everyone knows and loves but the Young Guns are…
The last time the Long Island Lizards lost a game was almost a month back on May 12. The game was a 19-11 bruising at the hands of the Denver Outlaws. The Lizards (4-2), now on a four-game winning streak and a new sense of team and confidence, will get another chance at the Outlaws (5-2) this weekend, this time in Long Island. The stakes will be high in this…
