Justin Ivey, NLL Correspondent Lacrosse is Awesome© Standings: Shawn Palmer 45-24 Stephonya Hunter-Penner 43-26 Justin Ivey 42-27 I made a HUGE mistake. Shawn DID NOT go 5-0 in Week 13, Stephonya did. Lucky for Shawn, he is still in first place. Standings have been updated and there were no changes after Week 14, although as a group none of us did so hot. I had the best predictions and went…

Justin Ivey, Correspondent Lacrosse is Awesome© The surface question on everyone’s mind at the Connecticut Hammerheads first press conference was fortunately blatantly asked. Why a hammerhead shark? Team President Ian Frenette responded, “We like the type-a, alpha nature of the shark and its aggressiveness.” The actual shark isn’t a common site in Long Island Sound, and it is tough to find if there has been any sighting off the shore…

A six-goal run between the second and third quarters, as well…

The Knighthawks of last year are in Halifax, and this new Rochester expansion franchise is not as bad as their record leads you to believe.
