Coverage of the Colorado Mammoth, Denver Outlaws, and Denver University.
After finishing in second place in the NLL West Division the Colorado Mammoth’s season came to an end last weekend with an 11-6 loss to the Calgary Roughnecks in the first round of the playoffs. Following two years where the Mammoth finished below .500, their 9-9 record was certainly an improvement, but the early exit from the postseason has to be considered disappointing. Colorado got off to a torrid start,…
In a game between two of the most offensively productive teams in the NCAA, Brown flew out to Denver to be tested by the Pioneers. While the Pio’s punched their ticket to the NCAA Elite Eight, Brown was another victim of Denver’s prominence falling 15-9. Despite a six point goal differential, the game was very close statistically. Denver’s Trevor Baptiste won more face offs, but not by as many as…
Sunday saw a rematch of the 2014 MLL championship game when the Denver Outlaws visited the Rochester Rattlers. What a difference a year makes though. The Rattlers handed the Outlaws their second defeat of the season by a score of 15-12. Attackman Jordan Wolf tallied a hat trick for the Rattlers, and five other players had at least two goals for Rochester. Mike Bocklet and Greg Melaugh led the Outlaws…
The Denver Pioneers are ranked third in the nation for their offensive productivity this season. They’re also the No. 4 seed for the tournament beginning this week. On the other side of the field forthis Sunday’s matchup at DU is Brown University, seeded No 13/10 and ranked tenth in the nation for offense. Many of the Pioneers’ opponents this season weren’t able to match the offensive productivity as mentioned. DU…
Week 4 of the Major League Lacrosse season brought upon the home opener for the Denver Outlaws. Coming off of the first championship in franchise history in 2014 meant the home opener would be a special weekend. After practice Saturday night, we were treated to a first class team dinner/championship celebration at Texas de Brazil. The evening was filled with 2014 highlight tapes, speeches (GM Tony Seaman stole the show),…
The Outlaws raised the banner for their 2014 title run in their home opener in Denver on Sunday, May 3, 2015, and then went on to defeat the Charlotte Hounds by a score of 15-12. Four different players notched hat tricks for the Outlaws, Greg Melaugh, Eric Law, Jeremy Sieverts, and Drew Snider. Denver Head Coach B. J. O’Hara was worried that the banner raising ceremony would be a…
The Charlotte Hounds lost their first road game on Sunday afternoon, falling 15-12 to the defending MLL Champion Denver Outlaws at Sports Authority Field. The Hounds spent the majority of the game playing from behind, and while they got two late goals, time ran out before the comeback could be completed. Outlaws midfielder Jeremy Sieverts was named Coca-Cola Player of the Game following a four-point (3g, 1a) performance. Meanwhile, the…
The Edmonton Rush played their final game of the season on the road against the Colorado Mammoth and 16,239 Mammoth faithful last night at the Pepsi Center in Denver. They came away with a 13-10 victory to send them into the playoffs firing on all cylinders. The Rush had first place in the West locked up weeks ago and were looking to finish off the season playing solid Lacrosse. They…
No disrespect to team President Jim McPhilliamy, but I think we all can agree that in a perfect world the ideal owner for the Charlotte Hounds would be Montgomery Burns if not just for the fact that he could say “release the hounds” before every game. Luckily for Charlotte they don’t need a cartoon tycoon to motivate them to score goals. The Hounds will visit the Mile High City…
As all DU games seem to go this season, the game yesterday against Villanova started out rocky until the Pioneers pulled together another phenomenal mid-game offensive run to beat the Wildcats 16-9. Villanova was able to outscore Denver 5-3 in the first quarter. Jack Curran started the scoring on the day in less than four and a half minutes unassisted to take ‘Nova 1-0 over DU. Wes Berg answered back…
