Scoring seven goals in a National Lacrosse League game usually means you’re going to lose. But when your goalie only gives up four, it’s enough to win. And so it was for the Saskatchewan Rush on Saturday night as they took a 7-4 win over the Georgia Swarm in a contest that tied the league record for lowest-scoring regular season game. In a more dubious distinction, Saskatchewan’s 4,657 attendance was…
Saturday night featured some lacrosse after dark, as the late game saw the Las Vegas Desert Dogs welcome the Ottawa Black Bears to Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson, Nevada. I’ll tell you now that the Desert Dogs snuck away with a 10-9 victory, but it certainly didn’t look like it was going to be that close for a vast majority of the game. Kudos to Ottawa for not rolling over…
The second game of the Week 4 slate was a dream for a lacrosse fan, as it had quite literally everything one could ask for. Scoring, as there were 26 total goals scored, physicality, 50 penalty minutes, and even a goalie fight. The Rochester Knighthawks welcomed the Philadelphia Wings to town, and let’s just say it was unlikely that both teams were hanging out together after the game. Rochester used…
Over 17,000+ braved the wind and snow to file into KeyBank Center on Saturday night. The hometown Bandits were back on their home floor, this time welcoming the Halifax Thunderbirds to town. This game is a must watch if you’re a lacrosse fan, as it had quite literally, everything. Scoring, stingy defense, stingier goaltending, and even some overtime. Buffalo controlled this game for the majority, but Halifax wouldn’t go away….
The Philadelphia Wings had a two-week bye to start the 2025-26 NLL season; whereas other teams may have seen this as an obstacle, the Wings used this time to put the final touches on a solid game plan that lifted them over Colorado 8-7 in their home opener, a game that was a nail biter for the 5,689 fans at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Philadelphia soared out nto a stunning two-goal…
The 2025-26 National Lacrosse League season is underway. Everyone take a moment and get that sigh of relief out. Getting to this exciting point in the offseason didn’t come without some fireworks, however, as a new CBA had to be worked out and that took some time. Fast forward, here we are, already into Week 2. The signing period this offseason may have been the most bananas in recent history,…
The late game of the week one slate was set to be an interesting matchup. On one side, you had the Vancouver Warriors, who made a ton of moves in the offseason and were primed to make a run at the NLL Cup this year. Two of the bigger additions they made were acquiring Jesse King and Curtis Dickson in free agency. On the other side, you had the Colorado…
For a league record seventh time, the Buffalo Bandits opened their season with the raising of a championship banner. The back-to-back-to-back National Lacrosse League Champions hit their home floor Saturday night in front of a sellout crowd and welcomed in the Georgia Swarm. Like the two years prior, Buffalo celebrated the newly hoisted banner with a win, this time beating Georgia 15-11. Georgia did not waste any time silencing the…
The Rochester Knighthawks dropped their preseason finale to the Ottawa Black Bears, 11-9, Saturday night at Brampton Memorial Arena in Brampton, Ontario. The Knighthawks’ bid for a second straight victory was ended by Ottawa’s Sam Firth, who scored three of his four goals in the final quarter to erase Rochester’s one-goal advantage. The Knighthawks finished their exhibition slate with a 1-2 record. Rochester had pulled ahead 9-8 on back-to-back goals…
It was another packed house on Saturday night at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre as the Toronto Rock finished up the preseason with 14-10 win over the Philadelphia Wings. The Rock went 2-1 win exhibition with wins over Saskatchewan and Philadelphia and their only loss coming last weekend in OT to Colorado. The first half was incredibly even with the score tied 2-2 at the end of one quarter and…
