Big week in the MLL, starting in the x if you will was the Boston Cannons vs. the away Washington Bay hawks final score was 14-12 Boston. First overall pick Paul Rabil scored 3 goals in the first half and ended the game with 5 goals and a helper. Next was the red hot Denver Outlaws hosting the Chicago Machine for the second time this season, going in to the game Denver had a undefeated home record and Chicago always plays the Outlaws tough but Denver won on a two point shot by Jeff Sonke with 13 seconds left in the game final score was 15-13. Last week I made a mistake as I said the Long Island Lizards won their fourth game in a row well that happen this week as the beat the Los Angeles Riptide 19-18, so now the Lizards are on a four game winning streak. The Rochester Rattlers after dropping 2 in a row beat the Philadelphia Barrage 20-17. After starting the season winless the New Jersey Pride after the draft are now on a two game winning streak as they beat the San Francisco Dragons 10-7, two things about this game: 1. 7 goals are very low in the game of lacrosse indoor or outdoor 2. Watch out for the NJ Pride they will be a tough team to beat in the soon years, I'm going on record and saying that they are going to miss the playoffs this year but will have a great season next year and as I said before watch out for the Pride. Check out the Standings from this week.
