Coverage of the Colorado Mammoth, Denver Outlaws, and Denver University.
The Denver Outlaws traveled to south Florida to take on the Florida Launch on Saturday. Denver came away with a 15-12 victory, and we led by a 16 save effort by Jesse Schwartzman. Three different Outlaws registered four points in the contest: Eric Law (3, 1), Jeremy Sieverts (3, 1), and John Grant (2, 2). The Launch got four points out of Kieran McArdle (1, 3) and Casey Powell (3,…
Denver held on to beat Ohio State 15-13 after Ohio initially pulled ahead 7-1 in Saturday’s matchup. It seems despite a loss for the Buckeyes, they are indeed for real and have the necessities to go all the way in the near future. Despite a win for DU, they played one of their more sloppy games this past weekend and will most assuredly need to regroup before this upcoming Championship…
Denver takes its talent to South Beach on Saturday. Well, an hour or so north of South Beach, really, but you get the idea. Florida is coming off their first win of the year. If the MVP is understood as the individual who is the most important to their team, is Kieran McArdle not that person? Most people’s knee-jerk response would be Paul Rabil, but put him on a different…
BUILD UP Denver, the Lacrosse Capital of the West, is going nuts this week. As are we media personnel due to the movement in the last week. As Bill Tierney once told me in an interview, “The entire west region kind of looks to DU as their ‘home’ team.” Families are taking off weekend work, players asking for early birthday presents as tickets, and coaches preaching for their teams to…
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…
