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. The 2013 Mann Cup MVP rebounded from a rare scoreless performance with a vengeance, leading…

What’s Working for the Rattlers?
Entering the 2014 season, the Rochester Rattlers were thought to be one of the worst teams in the MLL. Following an offseason in which they traded their two most experienced and possibly most talented players in Matt Streibel and Ned Crotty, not many people gave them a chance.

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

Bayhawks Slump Continues With Loss
The Bayhawks out-shot the Outlaws 54-35 but were dominated by Denver goalie Jesse Schwartzman who made 28 saves for the Outlaws (7-1). “Jesse Schwartzman was the best player on the field tonight,” Bayhawks coach Dave Cottle said. “It was not only all the saves he made, but the fact he forced us to shoot for corners and we hit a couple pipes.” Chesapeake midfielders Peet Poillon and Joe Walters totaled a goal and…
