Weather worked out well for the 2016 DBLL box lacrosse season.  Stay tuned next Fall for another exciting season of box lacrosse.  We may also be hosting an indoor hybrid box lacrosse league in a gym this winter.  Stay tuned!

DBLL Regular Season Over; Playoffs This Sunday

The DBLL regular season finished last weekend with two teams claiming the top spot at 5-1.  The Riverhawks claim the #1 seed with a head to head win over the Catamounts in week 1.  The Catamounts get the #2 seed.  The #6 seed is claimed by the Seawolves based on a head to head win over the Great Danes.  The Great Danes are the #7 seed.  Three teams finished with 3-3 records.  The Bearcats take the #3 seed based on the second tie breaker, head to head against common opponents with a better record.  The Wildcats take the #4 seed based on the third tie breaker, goals against.  The Retrievers enter the playoffs with the #5 seed (playoff tie breakers are described on the Rules page on the website).

Here's what this Sunday's playoff schedule looks like:

1:00 p.m. - #6 Seawolves vs. #7 Great Danes
2:00 p.m. - #2 Catamounts vs. #5 Retrievers
3:00 p.m. - #3 Bearcats vs. #4 Wildcats
4:00 p.m. - #1 Riverhawks vs. #6/#7 winner
5:00 p.m. - #2/#5 winner vs. #3/#4 winner
6:00 p.m. - Championship Game 

Please be sure to relay this schedule to your team.  We haven't had very good turn out for the last couple weeks of regular season games.  Please try to get your players to the final week of playoffs.  There will be no fill ins for playoffs, you will have to play with your regular team players only.  Be sure each team has a goalie.  Designate your goalie NOW so we can get the games started on time.

Stay tuned for any weather related location changes.  Last week the rink stayed wet despite early clearing of the water.  It's just not drying right now due to the sun being so low in the sky this time of year.  There is no more rain in the forecast this week and it looks like the rink is pretty dry right now.  If we get any rain this week we will have to change sites.  The alternate site is Portman hockey rink.  As of now though, we will be at Lower Chester again this Sunday.  Stay tuned!
