This is it, the last roundup of the 2012 regular MLL season. The Rochester Rattlers will be traveling to battle the Charlotte Hounds. This game is very important for both teams as the season comes to a close. For Charlotte, it means a number of things. If they go out victorious, it gives fans and the organization hope for next year. However, should they fall, it would damper the hopeful…

Nationals Vs. Lizards Unit by Unit
Natoinals Attack Vs. Lizards Attack Both teams pose an all-around threat on offense, the Nationals rely on Syracuse grads Cody Jamieson who has been effective in only 8 games (20 points) and Stepehn Keough (25 goals). The Lizards attack is led by Tommy Palasek, Matt Gibson, and Greg Catalino. If Gibson can stay energetic behind the cage and continue feeding Palasek and Catalino with quick passes the Lizards offense should…

Lakers Can Sweep Redmen, Chiefs Take Series Lead Over Excelsiors
Game three. Someone will go home with an advantage. Either a 2-1 lead, or a 3-0 lead, someone is leaving the floor with control.

After three days off between games and with their big guns back in the line up, including Dan…
