Third Star: Matt Vinc—Rochester Knighthawks If the Rock’s already struggling offence had any chance of heating up this weekend, Matt Vinc took that chance and stomped on it. The five-time NLL Goaltender of the Year made 76 stops on 88 attempts to propel Rochester to a pair of victories over Toronto in week three. Vinc is third in GAA (9.33) and save percentage (.796) after three games in 2016. Second…
The Buffalo Bandits will travel out west to take on the Colorado Mammoth at the Pepsi Center. Both teams are coming off hard fought, tight games in Week Two. Buffalo got the 10-9 win over Calgary, while Colorado defeated Rochester 16-14 in a back and forth affair. The Bandits offense seemed to be off last week; there were a lot of dropped passes, and missed shots. Also not to mention…

It may be a new year, but that does not mean there will be change. Yes, there was a new team in action in last night’s National Lacrosse League contest, however many things stayed the same. John Grant Jr remains one of the best lacrosse players in the world, and that fact stayed true on Friday night as he scored the game winning goal to lead the Colorado Mammoth past…

(Photo: Vancouver Stealth) No lead in the NLL is safe, even in Sunday afternoon preseason scrimmages, as the Colorado Mammoth found out. The Mammoth lead for three quarters until the Vancouver Stealth pulled ahead late in the fourth quarter to win the game 9-8.

In half a season in the National Lacrosse League, the right-handed forward showed he has the talent to be an impact player. On Tuesday, the Colorado Mammoth announced the signing of Noble to a five-year deal, matching the longest contract in franchise history. “In nine games, Jeremy…

Perhaps because of this, the Mammoth front office has made some significant moves in the free agent market. They acquired forward Callum Crawford on Aug. 19, giving them what might be one…
