Coverage of the Buffalo Bandits, Rochester Knighthawks, Rochester Rattlers and New York Lizards and coverage of Syracuse, Albany, Manhatten and more.
After getting off to a solid 3-1 record early in the season, the Bandits have seen their season slowly fall apart. Now tied for the worst record in the NLL, the Bandits seem to really be in that rebuild that it looked like they may endure. The problems with the Bandits have depended on the day. Sometimes the defense looks horrendous, other times it seems that the team just can’t…
If you were hoping for the Bandits to start turning things around, Toronto is probably the last team you’d want them to play. Unfortunately for Buffalo that’s exactly who they have to play tonight in hopes of beginning to move in the right direction. Both these teams have something in common, getting embarrassed by the Edmonton Rush a week ago. The Bandits lost to the Rush 14-7 on Saturday in…
Once again the Bandits played poorly at home, and once again they left the floor on the losing end of things. After seeming to be down in every aspect of the game, the Bandits fell to 5-7 with their 14-7 loss to the Rush. The Bandits were out shot 63 to 42 and out loose-balled 96 to 76. It seemed that the Rush just hustled a tad more than Buffalo…

Syracuse Orange are coming off a 13-8 victory over Johns Hopkins (5-2) on Saturday that propelled them near the top of the national rankings after a strong showing at the Carrier Dome.

The teams battled back and forth in the first half, ending with Holy Cross ahead 4-3. Pat Durkin scored 2 goals for the Mids who are now 1-2…
This certainly wasn’t the way the Bandits had hoped their home and home with Colorado would go. Before last weekend, Colorado was a lowly 2-7. It was looking like they would certainly be the team to miss the playoffs this season. However, they won both their games against the Bandits and have jolted life into their season. The Bandits put up a fight last night, but were never able to…
Zack Greer led the way with 4 goals and 1 assist as the Edmonton Rush (6-5) defeated the Rochester Knighthawks (4-6) 11-9 in a rematch of the 2012 NLL Championship.

Rochester battled back, outscoring Edmonton 4-1 in the third…
A rematch of the 2012 NLL Championship will take place tonight as the Rochester Knighthawks (4-5) host the Edmonton Rush(5-5) at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, NY. The Knighthawks kicked off the second half of the season with a big win over the Colorado Mammoth while also making three moves at the trade deadline for their playoff push. The headline trade was sending veteran Casey Powell to Colorado for…
Once last week’s game ended, almost everyone’s minds quickly jumped to next week’s match-up. Once again the Colorado Mammoth and Buffalo Bandits face-off, this time in Denver. The league hopes that it doesn’t end the way last week’s game ended, with a 10 man brawl. All of the players involved besides Bandit David Brock have appealed their suspensions, so they will all be playing tonight. It will likely be the…
