PLL: Chaos get first win of PLL season

June 27, 2021

Kyle Harrison’s last game at Homewood Field ended in an 11-9 loss to Chaos, but with his family in attendance for post-game hugs, it wasn’t all bad. The veteran forward will retire after this PLL season, so it was a special game. But, the Redwoods fall to 2-2 on the season, and the Chaos, troublemakers in last year’s playoffs, picked up their first win. It was a tightly contested first…

June 27, 2021

What a game for Adam Ghitelman. The Archers’ goaltender not only stopped nine shots in the team’s 17-8 win over Waterdogs LC on Saturday night, he added an assist and a two-point goal. And he did both in style.

MLL: Hammerheads take a bite out of Bayhawks to secure playoff berth

July 25, 2020

It was almost like the theme to Jaws was playing on the big screens in Maryland this afternoon.
