The Pioneers left no doubt on the field, looking every bit like a No. 5 seed in a 9-5 win over the visiting Tar Heels, marking the third straight season Denver has defeated…
CHARLOTTE, N.C.—The Charlotte Hounds finally put together the kind of performance that got them to last year’s Major League Lacrosse championship game—it just took them a few weeks.
