After beating Denver 23-22 in last season’s highest scoring game of the season, the Machine’s 2015 home opener at Selby Stadium matchup proved to be just as exciting. A combined three goals scored with under a minute to play in the game made for an exciting finish as Denver edged out the Machine 14-13. Jeremy Sieverts scored four goals for the Outlaws, and Mike Bocklet netted the game-winner that came…
Last weekend was the start to the 2015 MLL season and it was nothing short of spectacular and intense. The Rochester Rattlers took down the Charlotte Hounds in overtime and the New York Lizards unplugged Ohio with a 14-8 victory. For the state of New York, the Lizards and Rattlers are representing them very well at the start of the new season. Back in the league is Matt Poskay, who…
The road to .500 goes through Ohio when the Machine and the Outlaws faceoff in week 2 of the Major League Lacrosse 2015 season. The Machine and the Outlaws renew their rivalry after a pair of thrilling games last year. Denver beat Ohio in the Mile High City to the tune of 14-12 on Star Wars night (May the 4th, get it? GET IT?!). When the Outlaws visited Ohio they…
The Denver Outlaws started their title defense on Sunday night in Boston, but coming up on the losing side of a 16-13 decision surely was not what coach B.J. O’Hara and his team had in mind. It’s worth mentioning again that eight of the players on the Outlaws’ 25 man active roster are playing NLL right now. That’s less of an excuse for the loss than it is context for…

Peter Baum, midfield, Ohio Machine — 14-8 loss against New York Though the Machine lost its first game of the season, Baum ripped three…
View image | gettyimages.com I’m loathe to call anything after three games a “power” ranking, especially in MLL where the embryonic team of Week 1 tends to metamorphose dramatically by season’s end. With that caveat in place let’s take a look what happened over MLL’s opening weekend. New York Lizards: It’s hard to argue against New York at this point in the season. The Lizards are likely the team…
View image | gettyimages.com Opening weekend is in the books and it provided us some fun games and a glimpse into what the season holds. The grippy ball is back in use and this much anticipated return makes the two point shot more achievable. In an effort to make the ball more visible to the television audience last year, the MLL switched for the textured “grippy” ball to a smoother…

The Boston Cannons opened their 2015 campaign with a win over the Denver Outlaws 15-13. The scoring started out on the Cannons side with the first goal of the season from Rob Emery, the sophomore player out of Virginia. Chris Bocklet tied things up on the Outlaws side just one minute later. By the half it was 8-5 Cannons with much of the offense coming from Boston. Denver’s offense seemed…
