Interesting scheduling to keep tabs on, as Friday night’s contest was a 9 p.m. start and was between Cannons and Redwoods. Currently, Redwoods look like a team on a mission as they are starting to heat up as the season progresses. As for Cannons, they sit in last place in the standings…

The second half of the Premier Lacrosse League season was underway this past weekend. Rafferty Stadium in Fairfield, CT was rocking as Saturday’s games were doozies, or “lit,” as the cool kids say. Are we cool? We must be. The first game was Redwoods taking on Atlas. Atlas sat atop the standings at 4-1, while Redwoods were 1-4 with a little bit of work to do. In this one, Redwoods put…
The Premier Lacrosse League All-Star game and skills competition festivities came to you live from Foxborough, MA this past Saturday. These weekends are always great from an entertainment standpoint and of course giving players and coaches a much needed break. As for the All-Star game itself, it was Team Farrell taking on Team Baptiste. Team Baptiste scored the victory, and big, downing Team Farrell 33-13. Yes, you read that correctly….
Women’s field lacrosse is a hell of a sport, and it doesn’t get the coverage it deserves from us. I hope to rectify that someday with more staff and resources. Women’s field is a vastly different sport from the men’s game, with its own rules and nuances, and should be appreciated as such. The athletes are strong, talented and inspiring and I encourage you to check out a game near…

PLL action came to you live from TCO Stadium in Eagan, Minnesota this weekend. Week 5 action on Saturday night did not disappoint. The first game on the Saturday slate was between Chaos and Cannons.

The game was closely matched in the first half with the Redwoods leading with six goals to the five scored…
Game three of the NLL Finals was live from Banditland on Saturday night at KeyBank Center. Sixty minutes to decide the season. It had been over 5,000 days since both the Buffalo Bandits and/or the Colorado Mammoth have hoisted an NLL Cup, so this was going to be a treat. Not sure if it was mind games, or something popped up, but we almost saw Eli McLaughlin for game three….
It was do-or-die for the Colorado Mammoth in game two of the NLL Finals on Saturday night. If that wasn’t enough pressure going in, only a few hours before the game, it was announced that dynamic forward Eli McLaughlin was placed on the IR. Huge blow to the Mammoth, right? Wrong. In front of 10,082 of the Loud House faithful, the Mammoth were led by Zed Williams and Connor Robinson….
