Coverage of the Colorado Mammoth, Denver Outlaws, and Denver University.
Can you believe we only have a week left until Selection Sunday? It feels like ages since the season started back in February and just as the weather has started to heat up, so to has the games we’ve seen and the players performances. Miles Thompson continues to pile up the points in chuncks, Jordan Wolf looks to be playing his best lacrosse when his team needs it most and…
I am a Southern California native, so my trip out to beautiful Ft. Lauderdale, Florida began with a 10:30 pm red eye out of Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday evening. Besides my row mate on the plane being a 6-year-old pug named Peter, my flight out was rather uneventful and I was able to sleep for a majority of the flight. I traveled out to Florida with Denver Outlaws…
The NLL saw a lot of odd performances this weekend as top teams struggled early in games and non-contending teams held their own. In the end, the big guns projected to continue into playoffs were able to pull off victories (Rush, Rock, Mammoth, etc.) With playoffs right around the corner now, many teams will look to prepare extra or begin their off seasons with restructuring and drawing boards. First Star:…
The Denver Outlaws opened up their season against the Florida Launch at Florida Atlantic University Saturday April 26. Florida finally has their first MLL team, and the game was a milestone for both teams. Denver wanted their 21st consecutive regular season win, and Florida wanted to win their first ever franchise home-opener. The Outlaws dominated the Launch in the first half, and Florida gave Denver a run for their money…
As the final buzzer sounded, the final curtain closed on another season of below .500 play. The Philadelphia Wings (6-12) dropped the final game of the regular season 13-12 to the Colorado Mammoth (8-10). The Wings also finished with a 2-7 record at home. The game meant nothing as far as playoff positioning or in the standings. Wings were eliminated two weeks ago and the Mammoth had their spot locked…
Today marks the end of season 28 for the Philadelphia Wings. Tonight they will face the Colorado Mammoth in the hopes of sending the Wings faithful home with a win. The Mammoth are on there way to the playoffs and will face Calgary. But tonight they must face a Wings team who wants to go out a winner. Former Wing Drew Westervelt returns to his old home. Mammoth will also…
The Denver Outlaws head to Florida Atlantic University Stadium on Saturday April 26 and will go head-to-head against the newest team to the MLL, the Florida Launch. The Outlaws are coming off an outstanding season in 2013, and during the off-season had time to regroup; figure out what changes needed to be made, which included signing some amazing lacrosse players. The hype surrounding this game will be spectacular. The Launch…
The Denver Outlaws had their best season ever in 2013 with an outstanding record of 14-0, the first ever undefeated team in MLL history. They set 21 team records and 10 MLL records last season. The team had 226 GF, and 136 GA during the regular season. Their leading scorers were Chris Bocklet #10, Attack with 42 goals, a .429 scoring percentage; Drew Snider #23, Midfield with 31 goals, a…
Friday Night Lights Kicks off an action packed Weekend of College and Pro Action Patriot League Playoffs Army vs. Lehigh I like Lehigh in this matchup between two very well coached teams. Lehigh is balanced on offense and has strong goaltending with junior Matt Poillion. My prediction is Lehigh by three. Loyola vs. Colgate I made the mistake of not picking Loyola in the regular season matchup. I’m not going…
See where your favorite teams stand heading into the postseason: 1) Duke (12-2)—The Blue Devils will take on Syracuse for the third time in less than a year. Wonder how these new rivals will treat each other going forward. Brendan Fowler could be in for a fight as Frank Daddio and the Orange faceoff unit have played at a high level since the ‘Syracuse Slaughter’ a month ago. 2) Loyola…
