Coverage of the Colorado Mammoth, Denver Outlaws, and Denver University.
The Loud House was extra loud Friday night. The playoff vibes were flying as the Colorado Mammoth were back on their home floor and were making a serious push for the playoffs and even a possible repeat. Las Vegas came to Denver for the first time in team history, also looking to boost their playoff chances. Does anyone know SportsCenter’s phone number? Seriously, someone call them and keep them on…
If you’re a fan of Buffalo Bandits lacrosse, Saturday night’s contest against the Colorado Mammoth had been circled on your calendar for nine months. Last June, the Mammoth took games two and three to capture the Championship, winning game three in Buffalo. The Bandits looked for some revenge, all while sporting some sweet St. Patrick’s Day uniforms. KeyBank Center was bumping in the first quarter. After that, it was eerily…
It was military appreciation night at Ball Arena in Denver Colorado on Friday night. The Mammoth donned some pretty sweet black-and-camo uniforms as they prepped for Panther City Lacrosse Club and game three of their season series. Colorado took game one back in December, and PCLC took game two last weekend. Game two was ugly, there’s no other way to put it. Only being a week removed, this one was…
Two West Division teams squared off Saturday night in Fort Worth, Texas. Literally. Colorado came into Dickies Arena looking for momentum to increase their chances of making this year’s playoffs. A young upstart Panther City Lacrosse Club had something to say about it. Both teams found themselves in the middle of the standings, so any win at this point in the season is crucial. The PCLC faithful bought tickets to…
These are the dates coaches circle on the calendar – the daunting double-header weekend. It has the potential to reveal your team as a legit playoff contender or it can expose all of the weaknesses you really possess. Just two weeks ago, the Calgary Roughnecks came off a crushing OT loss to the Toronto Rock that could’ve put this team on life support – especially if this weekend went badly….
Chris Wardle did not mince words on Friday night. “We knew we came out slow last game, (a 13-9 loss to San Diego). We knew we had to come out with energy,” Wardle said. The Colorado Mammoth did just that, leading 3-1 after the first quarter against the Georgia Swarm. They would trail for less than four minutes, claiming a 13-10 victory over the still winless Swarm. Georgia took that…
The Colorado Mammoth emerged with the 11-10 overtime victory on Friday night, besting the Saskatchewan Rush in what was an evenly matched contest all night long. The win gives the defending league champions a 3-1 record on the season, while the Rush fall to 2-2. Colorado opened the scoring with two quick goals from Eli McLaughlin and Brett McIntyre in the first five minutes, with Saskatchewan responding mid-quarter with a…
The Colorado Mammoth won the 2022 NLL Championship with superior defense, goaltending, physical play and a never-say-die attitude. It’s somehow fitting that on the night they raised the Championship banner to the rafters of Ball Arena, the Mammoth needed all of those traits to come from behind to beat the Calgary Roughnecks 9-8. Trailing 5-2 at halftime, off the heels of Jesse King’s second of the night, the defending champs…
The final game of the Premier Lacrosse League’s Denver weekend was another marquee matchup. The first place Whipsnakes took on another playoff contender in Archers. Another barn burner of a game resulted in Whipsnakes continuing their winning ways, dropping Archers 13-11. Matt Moore opened the scoring quickly for Archers with a snipe just inside the arc. Joe Nardella answered right back on the ensuing faceoff. Nardella won the draw, drove…
The third game of Premier Lacrosse’s weekend in Denver, CO proved to be the game of the week, and quite possibly the game of the year so far. Waterdogs took on Atlas, and gave everyone their money’s worth and then some. Two of the hottest teams in the league looked to stay hot and jump up the standings with the season winding down. The “and then some” reference was to…
