Hamilton Nationals attackman Casey Powell will be suspended one game by Major League Lacrosse for a hit he had on the Chesapeake Bayhawks last week. That means he will be unavailable to the Nationals this weekend when they take on the Rochester Rattlers. This season, Powell has three games, where he has four goals and two assists to add up to six points. Powell skipped NLL season with the Rochester…
We finally stopped the losing streak and started playing as a team again! Charlotte is a very difficult team to match up against because they have a tremendously talented roster, and while though their record might not show it, they are going to gel soon and be a tough team to stop. We went into Charlotte riding a 2 game losing streak, so it was a delicate situation to make…
Jordan Burke was not an MLL all star last season. He ended up being the Championship game MVP, and taking home the Steinfeld Cup with the World Champion Boston Cannons. This season, his domination of Major League Lacrosse continues. He has played 416 minutes this season in net, and he leads MLL with a goals against average of 9.36. In second place is TC DiBartolo, who has played just 140…
Battle of the new franchises is upon us, again. This time though, there are new factors at play. Teams have altered their rosters and get to try different game plans. Charlotte, standing at 1-6, has the edge with an early season 18-15 win over Ohio. The Machine’s record is at 1-5, with their only win coming over Rochester. The Hounds have come close to a couple wins, losing by one…
After a shaky start to the start of the season, the Long Island Lizards have come back and won four games in a row. An early 13-11 loss to Chesapeake didn’t seem too bad. When they traveled to Denver and lost 19-11, that’s where the doubt came in. The Long Island offense scored 11 goals both games and the defense let up a combined 32 goals. Nothing seemed to be…
Goalie Jordan Burke earned Major League Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week honors following his 15-save performance in Charlotte on Saturday, leading the Cannons to a 16-8 win over the Hounds to snap a two-game losing streak. Burke allowed just four goals in almost 54 minutes of play: one each in the first and third quarters, two in the second, and none in the first 8:39 of the fourth quarter….
The Boston Cannons got back on track this week with a 16-8 win over the Charlotte Hounds. The win snapped a two game losing streak that Boston had been mired in. Meanwhile, the Hounds fell to 1-6. Boston got a stellar performance from goalie Jordan Burke, who allowed just eight goals and made sixteen saves after having two rough weeks in a row. Adam Ghitelman on the Hounds end made…
It wasn’t the dominating score line that the two teams played to two weeks ago, but the end result was the same. For the second time in three games the Long Island Lizards defeated the Ohio Machine, this time 16-12. It was the fourth win in a row for Long Island (4-2). It was the third loss in a row for Ohio (1-5). Ohio outshot the Lizards, won more face-offs…
Last night the Boston Cannons acquired midfielder Martin Cahill from the Rochester Rattlers for midfielder Brad Ross, I confirmed with a Cannons source earlier this morning. Cahill is a Boston native, but does not have any points this season. He had a career high eighteen points last season. Ross was a part of the MLL Championship the Cannons won last season, and was actually a vital part of the offense….
Hamilton shows everyone they are for real by dominating Rochester in every way. The game started off close and had the makings of a classic back and forth battle. That all changed early in the 2nd quarter as Rochester was unable to stop Hamilton’s shooters from treating John Galloway like a star at a carnival shooting gallery. The Nationals took a 3-3 tie and blew the doors off it with…
