Re: The Major Lacrosse Association


Q1

4-4 (TIED)

Q4
MAN: Goal scored by Attackman Evan Durrant
BOS: Goal scored by Attackman Emmerson Homer
MAN: Goal scored by Midfielder Niklas Niek
6-5 (MAN)

After an unbelieveable 3 quarters by both teams, Manhattan Midfielder Niklas Niek walks off the game with a goal in the 4th Quarter. This will send Manhattan to their second straight MLA Championship game and they will travel to Toronto to take on the Falcons.

This game marks the second year in a row Manhattan ends Boston's season in the playoffs. This game only fuels the rivalry between the two clubs.

Re: The Major Lacrosse Association

It is the 1974 Championship. A battle between the Falcons from Toronto and Manhattan. The number one seeded Toronto came from a 10 goal blowout win over Colorado and Manhattan barely beat Boston in a shootout of a game.

Q1
MAN: Goal scored by Attackman Alec Pryor
1-0 (MAN)

Q2
TOR: Goal scored by Attackman Noodin Kenosha
TOR: Goal scored by Midfielder Todd Sweeney
1-2 (TOR)

Q3
No goals scored
1-2 (TOR)

Q4
MAN: Goal scored by Midfielder Niklas Niek
MAN: Goal scored by Attackman Daryl Ry
TOR: Goal scored by Midfielder Newt Johnny
3-3 (TIED)

OT1 (Sudden Death)
Manhattan wins the face off and its Midfielder Mike Smith running it up the field. Smith makes a pass to Alec Pryor as Pryor immediately passes it to a cutting Flynn Lamar... Lamar makes the catch and launches it towards the goal... the ball gets tipped by a Toronto Defenseman... AND THE GOALIE CANNOT MAKE THE SAVE! MANHATTAN WINS IT IN SUDDEN DEATH! 
4-3 (MAN)

Manhattan has done it, the Blue Jays are back to back MLA Champions. The Player of The Game award was given to Flynn Lamar for the game winning goal. Flynn Lamar has now won POTG two years in a row. 

Do you think the MLA will expand this offseason? If so, what cities will get teams?

Re: The Major Lacrosse Association

1974 Offseason
Manhattan, New York

NEW FACES AROUND THE MLA
The Major Lacrosse Association would add 3 new teams to the league. Teams from Brooklyn, Ottawa, and Winnipeg. This expansion set will grow the league to 11 teams.

The league will return to its 3 division format with the Central, East, and West divisions. The East will consist of: Boston, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Ottawa. The Central will consist of: Chicago, Cleveland, Toronto, and Louisville. Lastly, The West will consist of only Colorado, Omaha, and Winnipeg.

Additionally to the restructure of divisions, the league will expand from a 4 team playoff to a 6 team playoff. Each division winner will clinch a playoff spot, with the top 2 teams recieving first round byes.

LOUISVILLE SITUATION GETTING SHAKY
Trent Duff and his lacrosse team have been in hot water recently. With their stadium deteriorating, lack of success, and team chemistry has made their fanbase less interested. Trent is interested in relocating the team for greener pastures. He has looked into 4 different cities for relocation.

Milwaukee, WI
Milwaukee has been on the league's radar for some time. This would add another team in the Great Lakes region, as well as give Chicago a close rival. The plan will call to play at City Park which can hold 5,000 and would have to go under renovations to host a lacrosse team.

Columbus, OH
Similarly to Milwaukee, Columbus has been on the league's radar for a long time. Columbus has a couple decent venues that could be used in the meantime while a long-term venue is constructed. Overall, the city would welcome a team but, there are other owners who would like to get their grasp on Columbus first.

St. Louis, MO
St. Louis is an interesting city on this list for sure. The Otters did not work out on the pro level, but that was due to their lack of success on the field. Municipal Stadium is a fine, albeit aging venue but the stadium can certainly service a team for plenty more years. St. Louis would likely welcome another team, however, their play on the field would have to be better.

Charlotte, NC
A relocation to Charlotte would push the league into the southern United States, which is a place it has not been yet. There is a stadium that is ready to host, Mecklenburg Stadium which can hold 15,000 people at its current capacity but can certainly expand in the future.
