High Drama on Tap for MLL Regular Season Finish
Boston, MA (August 12, 2004) – Major League Lacrosse (MLL), the premiere professional outdoor lacrosse league, is preparing for a dramatic conclusion to its regular season on Saturday. Four teams enter Week Twelve with identical 6-5 records, but only three playoff spots remain, including one division title that remains up for grabs. The Boston Cannons, who clinched the American Division crown and the only postseason berth thus far, travel to Philadelphia to take on the Barrage, the league’s hottest team. Philadelphia has won four straight games and five of the last six; a win would guarantee the franchise’s first-ever playoff appearance. The Cannons are trying to right the ship before entering the postseason as the league’s top seed, having dropping two of three since clinching a playoff berth. As the final regular season installment of the Major League Lacrosse “Game of the Week” on ESPN2, the game’s high scoring, fast moving, hard-hitting action will air nationally on Tuesday, August 17 at 4:00 p.m. (read more)
