MLL: Hammerheads take a bite out of Bayhawks to secure playoff berth
It was almost like the theme to Jaws was playing on the big screens in Maryland this afternoon. The Connecticut Hammerheads may be one of the youngest and newest teams in Major League Lacrosse but they rallied behind their team name and hunted down their Bayhawks prey this afternoon. No one would have known this team lacked experience or age watching today’s game. They thoroughly shut down the defending champions in a…
MLL: Hammerheads hand Cannons surprising loss
The Boston Cannons (2-2) entered the MLL tournament as a favourite to win the championship but have found themselves on the losing end of things two more times than they wanted. Falling to the defending champions was perhaps unsurprising, but they did themselves no favours on Thursday, falling 11-8 to the Connecticut Hammerheads (2-2). The Cannons had added to their offense by trading for Bryce Wasserman and Randy Staats. But…
ILWT Feature: Divisional differences, or how athletes are closing the gap in professional lacrosse
It used to be that, on average, entire professional lacrosse rosters were made up of two groups. One group of professional players (the majority group in Major League Lacrosse) came from Division I colleges and universities in the United States. The second group was made up of outstanding Canadian players without the experience of collegiate Division I play in the United States. It seemed like a player had to fit into…
MLL: Hammerheads in the win column after 10-8 victory over Lizards
On a stormy and rainy Wednesday afternoon the Connecticut Hammerheads (1-2) picked up their first franchise victory 10-8 over the New York Lizards (0-4). With both teams needing a win, the Lizards came out pushing the tempo for the first quarter. But it was Hammerheads goalie Sean Sconone who came up big in the first 10 minutes. Decker Curran finally found rope for the Lizards with just under five minutes…
MLL: Barrage get first win of 2020 MLL season
The Philadelphia Barrage beat the Connecticut Hammerheads 14-10 during another sweltering afternoon of Major League Lacrosse action. It was a battle between the new kids on the block, both teams coming into the game 0-2. Spencer Ford must be relieved to get the first win in the books for Philadelphia. Connecticut is still in the hunt for win number one. Lacrosse is a game of runs and this game was no exception. The…
MLL: Hammerheads fall to Outlaws in first outing
The Denver Outlaws successfully conquered the Connecticut Hammerheads 18-6 in the last game of the MLL’s triple header on Saturday. As the sun began setting on a boiling hot day in Annapolis, the night heated up for the Outlaws. Perhaps still feeling the sting of losing a championship last year, it was clear from the beginning that Denver felt they had something to prove. And prove it they did, firing five first…
MLL: Hammerheads hoping to prey on weaker teams as MLL gets started Saturday
The Connecticut Hammerheads hope to prey on weaker teams during their inaugural season in Major League Lacrosse to get the job done and finish at the top of the league. After technically moving from Dallas this winter, they’ll have to do this with a plethora of new faces—especially on defense. The Hammerheads will rely on Greg Weyl’s defense and professional lacrosse experience to drive the defense and stop shots against many…
