The Rochester Rattlers look to improve from their 2013 season. Their 6-8 record was disappointing to many, as the team and fans thought they were capable of so much more.

As was expected, JoJo Marasco and Rob Pannell looked as good on the field as they usually do. Unexpectedly, Israel performed extremely sub-par.  The Lizards ran up the score to a final of 21-3. I equate this game to a previous one I watched this NCAA season: Lehigh versus Loyola. Both teams are very good, but the Lizards and Loyola are much higher caliber lacrosse programs than either Israel or…

The tough part of participating in the MLL is that schedules are restrictive. Unlike other sports that have athletes paid millions of dollars to dedicate their lives 24/7 to their game, lacrosse players squeeze in practices on the weekends in between full time jobs. Practices usually take place at a local high school facility. Teams don’t have the advantage of learning their home field or playing a schedule that is…
