A look back at the players and moments that make the @NLL special. Run by @GoodsOnSports.
On this day in 2023, Curt Malawsky was named general manager and head coach of the @VanWarriors.

From May 2007 to May 2008, Athan Iannucci went on one of the greatest goal-scoring runs in pro lacrosse history. In the summer of 2007, Iannucci scored a Western Lacrosse Association-best 51 goals. That same summer, he scored 16 goals in only 4 games with the Chicago Machine in…

Four shorthanded goals? Yeah, that sounds like Paul Gait.
Matt Vinc made a last-second save on Rhys Duch to secure back-to-back titles for the Rochester Knighthawks in 2013. His final stop capped off nearly 12 minutes of shutout ball as the K-Hawks held on against the Washington Stealth.
