MLL UPDATE – WEEK EIGHT
A pair of #ProBucks on the defensive end of the field – Ben Randall and Matt Borges – played key roles in helping the New York Lizards earn a 14-10 win over the Chesapeake Bayhawks on Saturday evening. Randall in particular was a key contributor at both ends of the field, picking up two ground balls and causing one turnover while also scoring a goal – his first since high school.

Borges, meanwhile, had a caused turnover and ground ball in the win. With Borges’ and Randall’s help, New York has won two straight and faces Chesapeake again on Saturday, Aug. 3 in Annapolis, Md.
This coming Saturday, Randall will make his first MLL All-Star appearance at Navy Marine Corps Stadium in Annapolis, Md. He’s a member of Team FIRE. Randall’s 11 caused turnovers this year are tied for the second highest in the league.
…and we’re not done yet!
