Cannons put home streak on the line
by Staff Report/
The Boston Cannons have wrapped up the No. 1 seed for the upcoming Major League Lacrosse Championships Weekend, but plenty will be at stake on Saturday night at Harvard Stadium.
Boston will try to cap a perfect home 2010 schedule when the Cannons play host to the Chesapeake Bayhawks.
Chesapeake, which has secured a spot in Championship Weekend, can move up to the No. 3 spot with a win over Boston and a Long Island loss.
If that scenario doesn’t play out, Saturday’s game will be a preview of the MLL semifinals as Boston would face Chesapeake again during Championship Weekend on Aug. 21.
The Bayhawks snapped a five-game losing streak a week ago, topping Chicago 20-12.
Boston secured the No. 1 seed in the playoffs with a convincing 16-5 win at Denver a week ago.
Cannons goaltender Kip Turner made 17 saves against the Outlaws last week to earn MLL Defensive Player of the Week honors.
MLL leading scorer Matt Poskay had a hat trick for the Cannons last week, as did Pat Heim and Max Quinzani, who garnered MLL Rookie of the Week honors for his effort.
