Last week the Rattlers defeated the 0-5 Ohio Machine while the Cannons were blown out against the 5-0 Denver Outlaws. This game will be the first ever professional lacrosse…

The Bandits don’t pick until the second round, with the 10th overall pick. The Bandits can probably use defense, or goaltending but with Cosmo there they won’t invest into a goaltender yet. For now, defense is a need but there isn’t…
