Coverage of the Colorado Mammoth, Denver Outlaws, and Denver University.
Major League Lacrosse is on the verge of starting its 14th season, but the road to Championship Weekend starting this past weekend in Annapolis. Denver, Chesapeake, Charlotte, and the newly minted Florida Launch scrimmaged at Severn High School to get an idea on who would make opening day rosters. Players were looking to make the most of their chances before the NLL season ends and open spots shrink even further….
So, this is my first crack at this whole player blog thing, maybe I should take a second to introduce myself. My name is Greg Rogowski, I played my college lax at D2 Merrimack College in North Andover, MA. After college I’ve played for a few different field and indoor professional/ semi-pro teams including The Vermont Voyaguers, Charlotte Copperheads, Boston Rockhoppers and Rochester Rattlers. I was picked up in the…
The Denver Outlaws acquired some fine young talent during the player pool this past weekend. I asked Outlaws GM Tony Seaman if he would update In Lacrosse We Trust and tell us about the newest members of the Outlaws. Here’s what he had to say: “On Sunday March 30th, the Denver Outlaws held an open tryout for any interested lacrosse players who are presently in the MLL “player pool”. …
On Saturday April 5th, the Colorado Mammoth (5-9) return to Rexall Place in Edmonton to face the undefeated Edmonton Rush (13-0). Colorado is coming off a tough loss against the Philadelphia Wings at home on March 29th, by the score of 14-12. The Mammoth are looking to hold onto that final play-off spot in the NLL Western Division where their rivals the Rush hold a commanding lead, and have already…
The Colorado Mammoth (5-8) went up against the Philadelphia Wings (4-9) at The Pepsi Center the first time this season on “Western Night” Saturday March 29, 2014.

But even with all the hype,…
Teams continued to make moves in the NLL yesterday as the roster deadline came to a close, and the Colorado Mammoth made one of the more surprising moves by signing veteran defenseman Nick Carlson. Carlson last played in 2011 and played all nine seasons of his career with the Mammoth, except his rookie season with the New York Saints. Over his career, Carlson accumulated 137 points and 425 loose balls….
This weekend was about as close in performance NCAA games have been thus far in 2014. I don’t mean scores… I speak of statistics and in-game situations. Many games this weekend were neck and neck until teams took advantage of opportune situations. Virginia – 9 Notre Dame – 18 The Fighting Irish came out with a very mobile and inclusive offense full of assists, offensive rotation and off-ball movement. They…
Big ECAC match up today pits heavy weights OSU (1-4) against the Denver Pioneers (5-2). Just based on the win loss column, I’m giving the Pioneers the edge. Conference play is tricky and you can usually throw everyone’s records out the window, but the Pioneers look strong this year. With top flight wins. King will get his goals, but believe OSU will have serious trouble with the balanced offense of…

Denver University and Penn State will meet for the sixth time in program history, and Denver has won three of the previous matches, while the Nittany Lions have won two. The Nittany Lions are amidst the highest ranking that the program has ever had, and are only looking to increase their ranking. The team is coming off a road win at Ohio State last weekend, and they are hoping to…
