As they head into the halfway point of the season, the Cannons are currently tied for the final playoff spot with the Charlotte Hounds, New York Lizards and Ohio Machine. What is a good way for the Cannons to secure the final…
After two tough losses for the New York Lizards, this week still managed to shed some positive light as defensive midfielders Kevin Unterstein and Steve DeNapoli were named to the 2014 MLL All-Star Team where they will face eight of their current teammates on Team USA in Boston. Lack of Offense: New York dropped its last two contests officially falling under the .500 mark with an overall record of 3-4….
On Saturday, I attended my first Major League Lacrosse game of the summer. Chesapeake pulled out a 16-15 victory over Boston in a game that saw a 7-0 Cannons run answered quickly with a 6-1 run by the Bayhawks. For all the goals, saves and great defensive plays, one aspect had the biggest impact on the game–instant replay. I say that as a positive. Down 16-15 in the final seconds,…

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – There’s a noticeable difference lately in the Charlotte Hounds.
