The playoff race is settled, but there is still news for the week ahead in Major League Lacrosse.
Having a 5-8 record going into their last game against Boston was not how the Rochester Rattlers envisioned their season going. Missing the playoffs for the third time in three seasons since coming back into Major League Lacrosse was not how the Rattlers envisioned their season going either.

In the past week we have heard nothing but an NFL player shouting a racial slur, and 13 MLB players being suspended for PED’s. This is just icing on the cake for O’Toole. Back…

Rochester Rattlers After exploding for five goals two weeks ago, Dave Lawson had a quieter, but still effective afternoon this past week in the Rattlers 12-7 loss to the Bayhawks. Lawson had another multi-goal effort and did so on only three shots. Meanwhile, John Ranagan has cooled off the last couple of games. While he has recorded a point in eight straight games this season, he has only managed six…
