Coverage of the Colorado Mammoth, Denver Outlaws, and Denver University.
Hello, In Lacrosse We Trust! My name is Noah Molnar and I am a midfielder for the Denver Outlaws. I played at Lehigh University from 2009-2013 and this is my second year with the Outlaws. I am very excited to be blogging for In Lacrosse We Trust this season and can’t wait to give all of you a behind the scenes look into life in the MLL. For a player…
What can be said about the Denver Outlaws that hasn’t been said already? Ok, don’t answer that question because there are a whole host of unknowns heading into the 2015 campaign. On-field fortunes have been increasing for the Outlaws in recent years.

There are a number of factors that complicate of identifying which players are poised to take the next step at the professional level. Sometimes players make an immediate impact, like Eric Law, Jordan Wolf, or Kieran McArdle, while others put in a ton of work off the field and emerge later down the line.

There are two items to keep your eye on as training camp starts: 1. How will the…

Would they be able to come out and take over the second slot from Colorado, or fall even further back from the top seeded Edmonton Rush. Rhys Duch got…
Following the Hofstra against UMass matchup, the Nittany Lions of Penn State and Pioneers of University of Denver took the field at James M. Shuart Stadium to play their game. This was a fierce battle between two great programs, and it’s a shame only one team could come out victorious, but in the end, the Pioneers held on to win by the score of 10-8. From the start of the…

Vancouver will have a significant backing behind them and will need…
