Since the days of the Eagle Pro Lacrosse League there have 31 teams fighting it out for the right to call themselves champions. Throughout that time who has been the best team of all time? The 2014 NLL season gave fans a spectacle of talent, and record setting trends. The Edmonton Rush set a regular season win streak record, with their youth, speed, and outstanding defense. Many thought early on…
Offensively, the ball was well distributed as was predicted last week. At least eight different players found the back of the cage in their most recent game (and win) against the Charlotte Hounds. Most of those athletes scored multiple times each. Jordan Wolf continued to be a feeding nightmare against an opposing defense. He assisted five different times in the Hounds game alone and was one of the players to…

Following an offseason in which they traded their two most experienced and possibly most talented players in Matt Streibel and Ned Crotty, not many people gave them a chance. But that’s why they play the game! Rochester finds itself in sole possession of second place in the MLL with a 5-3 record…
A three-goal run by the Hounds made Lizards fans sweat a little bit but New York had too much offensive firepower for the visiting Charlotte Hounds in a 14-12 win on Saturday night. Thanks to a pair of Cornell graduates, Rob Pannell and Max Seibald, the Lizards were able to move into a three-way tie for third place as the MLL hits the second of three breaks for this year’s…
