In the second part of a Home-And-Home series, The Rochester Rattlers (6 – 5) defeated the Ohio Machine (6 – 5), in front of a great crowd of over two thousand in Delaware this past Fourth of July weekend (sorry guys, it wasn’t Columbus. Heh, My bad!). Led by a five point afternoon for Mark Matthews in just his second game played this season, the Rattlers used a strong second…

It’s time for everyone to start buying what Boston Cannons Head Coach John Tucker and Cannons GM and Vice President Kevin Barney are selling. Many lacrosse experts scoffed when the Cannons traded away the best player in the world Paul Rabil in the off-season. Many assumed the Cannons were dumping everything to rebuild. Well, everyone that is, except the Cannons themselves. While many looked at Rabil being moved, very few…
America celebrated Independence Day and fireworks were in full affect in the MLL as the race for the playoffs tightens. New York returned to its winning ways and secured a playoff berth as well as its one hundredth win in franchise history against rival Chesapeake 15-13. Since the Lizards never fell out of first place with their two losses it points to reports of their collapse were greatly exaggerated. New…

Over thirty-one thousand people passed through the turnstiles of Mile High Stadium on Saturday night to watch the Denver Outlaws play host to the Boston Cannons. For the second year in a row, Boston defeated Denver on the Fourth of July.

With only 3 minutes and 48 seconds left of the game you could hear parts of the crowd cheering “RUNKEL….RUNKEL….WE WANT RUNKEL”. The Hounds fans wanted to take Pierce Bassett out and put Jack Runkel. Florida was ahead 19-9 and the fans just didn’t want to get stomped any more. The game though started out on a high note for Charlotte with a goal under 2 minutes into the game….
