The New York Lizards showed no mercy to the newly-established Florida Launch as the Lizards dominated all the way to a 18-11 victory. Leading the way for the Lizard was Rob Pannell and Tommy Palasek with five goals each. The Lizards were sporting some new pink alternative uniforms that will be autographed and auctioned off and all proceedings will go the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Certainly a great way to…

Today is the opening day of MLL action. New York opens their season with Ohio coming to town. Gone from New York are Brian Karalunas and Max Seibald, but entering is Brian Spallina and Paul Rabil.
