The North American Lacrosse League has hit its midway point of the season with Baltimore, Boston and Kentucky each playing five games. After intensive research (and help from Scott Pestridge, Tim Thomas and Sean Murphy) we were able to come up with some season stats for you.
Due to having so many less games and not being a playoff qualifying team, we do not have any Rhode Island Kingfish stats. Last season, Joel Zalesky was voted MVP by the media. This season he is not in the league, so who is your MVP? There are plenty of candidates at this point in time with three players rising from the pack of their clubs.
