In the first of back to back meetings between the two teams, Ohio (5-4) will travel to Rochester (5-4) to take on the Rattlers at Eunice Kennedy Shriver Stadium on Sunday. Each game becomes more pivotal as we head into the final five weeks of MLL play, as there were five teams that had a record of 5-4 heading into Saturday night’s Denver/Charlotte contest. This will be a rematch of…
The once undefeated, untouchable, invincible New York Lizards are now heading into a spiral free fall. The Lizards dropped yet another game to a bottom-of-the-standings team. Last week, it was the Charlotte Hounds who beat the Lizards, and this time it was Florida Launch claiming victory 16-12. Once again, injuries played a huge role in the game as the several key players were missing from both teams. The Lizards were…
For the better part of four months, many of us watched some exciting college lacrosse, whether it was on TV, online, or in person. There were good games, which included all of Championship Weekend, and there were bad games, such as low scoring affairs and of course, the horrendous winter weather. I take a look back at all 69 Division I teams and how they fared this season and what…
With a perfect season now out of the question, the New York Lizards will look to avoid falling to another team and complete the season series sweep as they visit the Florida Launch this week. The Lizards (8-1) and Launch (1-8) sit on opposite ends of the standings with reciprocal records. Last week, The Lizards, who were looking to become the second team in MLL history to achieve a perfect…
The Season Thus Far: Wins: 5 Losses: 4 Games Back: 3 HOME: 3 – 1 AWAY: 2 – 3 After a wild ending at Denver, the Rochester Rattlers are currently one of the five teams that are log-jammed in the middle of the League Standings as we approach the last four weeks of the 2015 MLL season. Coming off a dominant 13 – 6 defensive victory over the Cannons, the…
While the Buffalo Bandits ended their 2015 NLL regular season on a positive note with their respectable 11-7 finish and making the playoffs, it was their abrupt exit in the first round to the defending NLL champion Rochester Knighthawks (who also swept the season series with the Bandits) that left Banditland fans scratching their heads and asking what happened? Offense: The Buffalo Bandits offensive efforts this season was truly a…

In exchange for LaPierre, the Launch will receive New York’s 3rd Round MLL Collegiate Draft Pick in 2017.

The Denver Outlaws were the first team in the MLL to accomplish an undefeated season in 2013. This season, the New York Lizards had a chance to become the second team to remain perfect, but the Charlotte Hounds weren’t about to let that happen as they barely defeated the Lizards 13-12 at James M. Shuart Stadium on Saturday June 20th. Immediately the Lizards had a disadvantage as their star attacker…
