MSL Players of the Week: Steenhius and Wilson Lead Lakers
The Six Nations Chiefs were particularly busy in a relatively quiet week of Major Series Lacrosse action, going 2-1 in three games during Week 4. Peterborough’s 15-9 mid-week win over Six Nations not only extended the Chiefs’ longest winless skid since 2011, it also marked just the third pointless game of Cody Jamieson’s MSL career.

With all the depth of the Outlaws roster some holes still needed to be filled, so it was up to the rookies to rise up to…
Pannell, Seibald Lead Lizards Past Hounds
A three-goal run by the Hounds made Lizards fans sweat a little bit but New York had too much offensive firepower for the visiting Charlotte Hounds in a 14-12 win on Saturday night. Thanks to a pair of Cornell graduates, Rob Pannell and Max Seibald, the Lizards were able to move into a three-way tie for third place as the MLL hits the second of three breaks for this year’s…
