Originally published at https://inlacrossewetrust.com/nll-riptide-lose-heartbreaker-to-bandits-in-ot/ The New York Riptide deserved better. Seventeen goals should be enough to win a lacrosse game. But not, it seems, if you’re playing the Buffalo Bandits. The Bandits took the game 18-17, and remain undefeated at 5-0 while the Riptide are still stuck at just one win and in last place.… Continue reading NLL: Riptide lose heartbreaker to Bandits in OT

Just four-and-a-half minutes into the first quarter, Jeff Teat made his mark on the National Lacrosse League.

Originally published at https://inlacrossewetrust.com/editorial-lacrosse-needs-more-andrew-suitors/ NLL games will be a little less meaningful this season without Andrew Suitor on the floor. The heart-and-soul player announced his retirement from the game last month. Suitor scored 58 goals and 63 assists throughout his 10-year-career – pretty good for a defenseman who wasn’t expected to be a big contributor… Continue reading Editorial: Lacrosse needs more Andrew Suitors

March 8th was my last great day. I worked for the NLL at the Toronto Rock game, got a hug from my favourite Calgary Roughneck and took a ball in the chest from Tom Schreiber during warmup (he apologized; I thought it was hilarious). It was a great day. It was the last great day,… Continue reading Editorial: MLL, PLL tournaments provided necessary dose of medicine during pandemic

Sunday’s PLL championship was Whipsnakes LC’s to lose, and had it not been for a massive offensive outburst in the fourth quarter, they would have. But a 10-0 run was more than enough to power them past Chaos LC 12-6 for their second consecutive championship title. Zed Williams scored five of his six goals in… Continue reading PLL: MVP Williams scores six as Whipsnakes repeat as champions

For most of the Premier Lacrosse League season, 11 goals would have been enough to win you a game. But when the Whipsnakes turn on the gas, look out. Eleven goals was nowhere near enough for the Archers on Sunday afternoon as the Whipsnakes scored 17, sewing up first place in the PLL and a… Continue reading PLL: Whipsnakes take first place with win over Archers

With each PLL team making Tuesday’s elimination round, it wasn’t actually necessary for a team to get any wins in group play.  Yeah, okay, I laughed out loud at that sentence, too. This is lacrosse – there’s so much pride on the line and passion for the game that no team would be content to… Continue reading PLL: Currier contributes hat trick in Waterdogs’ first win

The number seven ranked Towson Tigers took down the first ranked Loyola Greyhounds 12-10 on Wednesday at Johnny Unitas Stadium in NCAA D1 play.

You can’t blame Challen Rogers for pausing when asked how old he is. After all, the 24-year-old has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. As captain of the Toronto Rock, he’s suddenly being looked upon to be a leader of men older and more experienced at their craft. That’s bound to throw you for… Continue reading Challen Rogers: the next great Rock captain
