After 11 seasons in Major League Lacrosse, Machine defenseman and team captain Greg Bice has formally announced his retirement. “There were a lot of things that went into my decision, but the number one thing for me was my family,” Bice said. “My wife has always been really supportive throughout the years and would continue to be supportive moving forward. Having my son grow up, I want to make sure…
The regular season has come to a close, and the Machine are looking back with a positive attitude. The team finished out with a solid 8-6 record, and ended the regular season with a five game win-streak. The streak was tied for the longest winning streak in the MLL’s history. Their winning streak was put to an end on August 16th by the Rattlers in the first round of…
Alex Urquhart The Ohio Machine finished the year in last place, with two wins and 12 loses. The Machine’s two wins came against the Rochester Rattlers and the Boston Cannons. With those 12 loses the Machine almost the entire season at the bottom of the MLL standings. Ohio had some of the worst team stats in the MLL over the summer. The Machine brought up the rear in goals for…
Alex Urquhart While teams like the Denver Outlaws, the Hamilton Nationals, the Chesapeake Bayhawks, and the Charlotte Hounds have their minds on the Championship the rest of the league is looking to next year and what they will need to do in the offseason to get themselves into Championship Weekend. The Rochester Rattlers this season finished in fifth place and were the odd team out for the playoffs. The…
No one said being an expansion franchise would be easy and the Ohio Machine went through their share of lumps last season. But the team began play, established a nice fan base and has some nice individual players to build a team around. Consistency is key to becoming a championship contending team so it was important for the Machine to protect the right players when they announced their 23-man protected…
The MLL season has now come to a close with the Chesapeake Bayhawks on top for the fourth time in franchise history. Another chapter in the history of the league has now come and gone, and in my eyes it was an important one for the future. The most notable storyline we can take away from this season has been talked about a lot, the additions of Charlotte and Ohio….
The Ohio Machine franchise has completed its first season in MLL play and that’s a victory in and of itself. It will need to be because there weren’t too many on the field victories to go by due to a league worst 2-12 record. The team allowed a league-high 204 goals against and were sixth in the league in goals for. Ohio was last in the league in ground balls…
One week after the Boston Cannons defeated the Ohio Machine 19-13 at Harvard Stadium the teams will do it again, in Ohio, in the regular season finale. Should the Cannons complete the sweep they will clinch a spot in the MLL playoffs. But the Machine will be playing in front of a home crowd and trying to put on a good show for the faithful fans and for one of…
The Ohio Machine is last in the MLL standings with only one win, but it faces its best opportunity to improve on that this weekend. The Machine (1-7) will play a home-and-home series on back-to-back nights this weekend with the Hamilton Nationals (2-6). One more game means one more chance to win, and it comes against the team closest in the standings. It could also mean one last chance for…
The Ohio Machine head to Denver to face the Outlaws on a July 4 bash. Both teams are coming off a loss before the All-Star game. Denver needs to get back on track in order to keep pace in the race for the playoffs while Ohio will need to win to help get out of the cellar of the league. Ohio may be in the bottom three in goals scored,…
