NLL Reviews Non-Goal Call in Colorado-Vancouver Game
There was some controversy following the Colorado Mammoth victory over the Vancouver Stealth game on Saturday, in which Adam Jones scored with one second left to win for Colorado, capping off a record six-goal fourth quarter. Before that goal, it had appeared Vancouver may have scored and without any challenges, Colorado could not challenge it. Today, the NLL released a statement about the incident. With 8:03 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Vancouver…

If there were any people who thought Hofstra’s win over UNC last week was “pure luck,” then this week’s game put those doubts to rest.

Jones Historic Fourth Quarter Leads Mammoth Past Stealth
Adam Jones doesn’t care much for your five goal lead. Jones was at his very best in the fourth quarter of the Colorado Mammoth’s come-from-behind 11-10 win over the Vancouver Stealth. He had the quickest natural hat-trick, the league says, since at least 2005. He erased Vancouver’s lead at 9:08 of the final quarter before winning the game with two seconds left in the game. For Vancouver, the first half…

Bandits Travel to Saskatchewan Looking to Get Back on Track
The Buffalo Bandits take a trip out to the prairies of Canada to take on the Saskatchewan Rush in Saskatoon.
