What's Going On In Summer Leagues?

The NLL season is long gone and here we are, a few weeks into the summer lacrosse season. Let's take a look at some of the highlights from the past couple of weeks!

NCAA: 

Syracuse and Duke will fight for the Division l championship tomorrow. Duke held off Cornell and Syracuse beat Denver. The game was not looking great for Syracuse, who trailed for the entire game but, with the help of Jojo Marasco, they were able to tie then get ahead in the last few minutes of the game. Watching that game proved that anything can happen in the game of lacrosse and no lead is a safe lead. 

Tune in tomorrow (Monday, May 27) to see who will be declared the Division l champions!


MLL: 

The Hamilton Nationals currently hold a 4-0 record. Kevin Crowley and Joe Walters have been making their presence noticed on the field. In the game against the Machine on Thursday, Crowley totaled six points (5+1) and Walters ended with seven points (4+3). With this win, the Nationals are tied with the Denver Outlaws for first place. 

With their fourth loss, the Machine currently hold a 0-4 record, making them the last place team in the league. Though the season has just begun, it will be interesting to see if the team can pick up the pace and turn their season around. 

WLA:

The Victoria Shamrocks earned their third win of the season this weekend with a win over the Burnaby Lakers. They remain undefeated. The only other team that remains undefeated is the Langley Thunder. The top players thus far are Scott Ranger, Cory Conway, and Corey Small. 
  


I do enjoy learning more about the other leagues out there and this is going to be a learning experience for me so bare with me for a little bit while I get used to the other leagues! It's great to see many of the NLL players take the field in other leagues!
