National League Lacrosse: Colorado Mammoth Drop First Game Of Season 21-10 To Calgary

Posted on February 27, 2012 | Leave a comment

On the eve of the 2012 National Lacrosse League All-Star Game, the Colorado Mammoth was humbled by the Calgary Roughnecks. Colorado suffered its worst home loss in team history, falling 21-10 to Calgary on Friday night at Pepsi Center.

The Mammoth’s previous worst loss at home was by nine goals on Jan. 10, 2009 versus Portland, a 14-5 game.

Colorado remains in the lead in the West Division, with a one-game cushion over Calgary (5-2).

“They wanted it a little more than we wanted it today,” said Colorado captain Gavin Prout. “There are no excuses. You can’t score one goal in a half – and on transition – and win a game. That is not the way this league works and we had to be better offensively.”

The Mammoth had been the only undefeated team in the NLL coming into the match-up with the Roughnecks, and is now 6-1 overall on the season.

Five Colorado players will be represented at the All-Star game on Saturday at First Niagara Center in Buffalo, N.Y.: forwards John Grant Jr., Gavin Prout and Adam Jones, defenseman Rory Smith and goaltender Chris Levis. Grant will captain the West Division All-Star squad.

National League Lacrosse: Washington Stealth Lose To Minnesota Swarm 15-7 To Fall To 1-6 Record

Posted on February 25, 2012 | Leave a comment

The Minnesota Swarm scored seven unanswered goals in the second quarter tonight, ultimately spoiling Washington Stealth Head Coach Chris Hall’s return to the bench with a 15-7 win at the Comcast Arena at Everett.

 The Stealth falls to 1-6 on the season, while Minnesota improves to 4-3.

The first fifteen minutes of the game were highly contested, as the teams played to a 3-3 tie. Ryan Benesch scored twice for the Swarm in the quarter, while the Stealth got goals from Lewis Ratcliff, Dean Hill and Cam Sedgwick. The one glaring difference between the sides in the opening frame was the number of shots taken during the quarter. The Stealth tallied 16 shots on goal, while the Swarm had just six.

The Stealth was without starting goaltender Tyler Richards, who was injured last week against Rochester. Rookie Chris Seidel and the newly-added Matt King split time in goal, allowing 15 goals on 39 shots in the game.

Injuries In Lacrosse: NLL’s Washington Stealth Partners With Seattle Children’s Hospital To Present “Concussions: What You Need To Know”

Posted on February 18, 2012 | Leave a comment

The Washington Stealth professional indoor lacrosse team has partnered with Seattle Children’s Hospital, Everett Bone and Joint, and the Washington Chapter of US Lacrosse to present “Concussions: What You Need to Know”, a free symposium on one of sport’s hottest topics.

The symposium for parents, athletes and coaches will take place on February 21, from 5:45pm-8:30pm at Seattle Children’s Wright Auditorium.

Concussions are an increasingly growing issue in the world of contact sports, including lacrosse. With more information coming out on concussions daily, it is important that parents, athletes and coaches are aware of the cause, symptoms and treatment of concussions. Some of the top doctors in the area from Seattle Children’s Hospital and Everett Bone and Joint will deliver presentations with practical discussion focused on young athletes playing sports.

“For a few families, this evening may prove to be one of the most important nights of their lives,” said David Takata, President of the Stealth. “Seattle Children’s has stepped up in a big way to make their top physicians available to the sports community. In addition, the Stealth’s team doctors from Everett Bone & Joint will discuss the practical matter of returning athletes to the field or court. It’s a unique opportunity for any sport coach, board member or team volunteer to be educated by the experts.”

The symposium will provide answers to frequently asked questions about concussions, including “What is a concussion?”, “How is a concussion treated?” and “How do I get back to playing safely?”. Plus, those in attendance will have an opportunity to ask doctors questions on concussions and hear a personal story of concussions from a lacrosse player. The evening’s program will be free to all and appetizers will be served during registration.

The undefeated Colorado Mammoth (5-0) will face the Minnesota Swarm (3-2) on Saturday night at 6:00pm MT at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn. in the teams’ second match-up of the season.

Colorado, which owns a two-game lead in the West Division over Minnesota and the Calgary Roughnecks, tied a franchise record with 20 goals scored when the teams met on January 14 at Pepsi Center on Opening Night.

In the opener, Mammoth forward John Grant Jr. led all scorers with 11 points (4g, 7a) en route to being named the National Lacrosse League’s Offensive Player of the Week. Mammoth captain Gavin Prout recorded three goals and six assists, while Minnesota forward Callum Crawford matched Prout’s point total (4g, 5a).

The Mammoth, which leads the league in scoring at 14.2 goals per game, is coming off a bye week. The Swarm offense is second best in the NLL, averaging 13.2 scores per contest. Minnesota won both of its games a weekend ago, defeating the Edmonton Rush and Rochester Knighthawks. Friday’s overtime game was the second-longest in league history (72 minutes and 23 seconds), as the Swarm beat the Rush, 10-9. On Sunday, Minnesota defeated Rochester, 9-6.
