Coverage of the Colorado Mammoth, Denver Outlaws, and Denver University.
After spending the month of December on the road the Colorado Mammoth returned to the Loud House and the loudest fans in the NLL. The team was coming off back-to-back road wins and extended their streak to three total games with a 13-9 win over the Vancouver Warriors. Keegan Bal would get the first goal of the game for the Warriors scoring at 11:42 of the first quarter. Vancouver scored…
In what was a back-and-forth affair, the Colorado Mammoth were able to defeat the Georgia Swarm 13-11 on the road Saturday night at Infinite Energy Arena. In the end, it was goaltending that made the difference as Colorado’s Dillon Ward made 36 saves on 51 shots, including multiple huge stops in the final minute. Georgia’s Mike Poulin made 33 saves on 46 shots on goal. “I thought we had some…
Exacting a small measure of revenge for last year’s playoff exit, the Colorado Mammoth spoiled opening night for the Calgary Roughnecks beating them 8-7 on banner raising night at Scotiabank Saddledome. After killing off a Roughnecks’ two-man advantage, Jordan Gilles scored the overtime winner at 7:11 giving Colorado a well-deserved road victory. Despite the hostile environment and without stars Eli McLaughlin and Dan Coates, Colorado’s young team seemed unphased by…

Despite all four playoff teams clinching their spots last week, the final week of Major League Lacrosse regular season featured some close and high scoring games. The underdogs ruled the weekend as both teams that missed the playoffs – New York and Dallas – won their games rather than tank and enter into rebuild mode early. Perhaps the playoff teams wanted to rest for a championship run, but then again…
The NLL’s growth in the United States continued this week with the 2019 draft at Xfinity Live in Philadelphia. It was the second consecutive draft held in the city of the league’s headquarters, boosted with the return of the Wings in 2018. Prior to 2018, the draft had been held at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre in Oakville, with a large number of draftees hailing from the Canadian province of…
Laura Kupsey was there to capture all the highs from the 2019 NLL Entry Draft in Philadelphia!
Last week’s Major League Lacrosse action saw the playoff field set. Chesapeake, Denver, Boston and Atlanta all secured their berths with two weeks left in the regular season, leaving Dallas and New York on the outside looking in. This past weekend saw the top two teams in the Bayhawks and Outlaws face off in the Mile-High City at Peter Barton Stadium. Chesapeake jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in…
In a game with playoff placement implications, the Denver Outlaws more than doubled up on the Boston Cannons with a huge 22-9 win.

The Outlaws switched scenery for this game from Mile High Stadium to Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium, home…
