MLL: Hammerheads take a bite out of Bayhawks to secure playoff berth
It was almost like the theme to Jaws was playing on the big screens in Maryland this afternoon. The Connecticut Hammerheads may be one of the youngest and newest teams in Major League Lacrosse but they rallied behind their team name and hunted down their Bayhawks prey this afternoon. No one would have known this team lacked experience or age watching today’s game. They thoroughly shut down the defending champions in a…

ILWT Feature: Divisional differences, or how athletes are closing the gap in professional lacrosse
It used to be that, on average, entire professional lacrosse rosters were made up of two groups.

MLL: Chesapeake chisels away Lizards’ lead

MLL: Barrage return to MLL after 11 years but fall to defending champs

Mark Matthews and Shayne Jackson would find the back of…

This is not the 2020 MLL Championship we wanted. This is not what we hoped for. This is not what anyone expected. This is the 2020 MLL Championship we got. One without a semifinal decider, but ultimately a last-minute fast pass granted to the No. 1 seed Denver Outlaws and the No. 4 seed Boston […]

Down goes Chesapeake! The Bayhawks had not lost in the MLL since September 7th and it was the star-studded Outlaws earning the notch in overtime. That’s not all that happened. The Connecticut Hammerheads scrounged up their first win in franchise history with a gritty takedown of New York. Speaking of New York, you don’ want […]
We’ve seen all of the MLL teams twice now and surprises are coming around every corner. Connecticut looked a whole lot better, that’s something that can be said without wearing rose colored glasses. Philly just looked closer to where they should be, because, we’ll say it again, they’re a good team. You know who is […]
