Lizards Run Up on Israel; Israel Third Int’l Team to Compete Against MLL
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…

MLL Camp Notes: Lizards Coming Together
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…

Stealth Try to Claim Playoffs Against Knighthawks
Saturday night the Stealth will make their first appearance in Rochester, N.Y. to face the Rochester Knighthawks, as the Vancouver Stealth. The Stealth and Knighthawks have played some close games, including last years Championship game. Despite Rochester coming into this game ranked 3rd in scoring to Vancouver’s 7th spot, this is sure to be another great game. Vancouver is led by star forward Rhys Duch. Rhys has recorded 68…
