Jackson Place and Scotty Rodgers did just that as they hosted a shutout in the fourth quarter. The Cannons are sitting at 2-4 this season but the Cannons do not look to be slowing up anytime soon as their key player Will Manny has been dominating defenses this year.

Tom Schreiber, Marcus Holman and Jake Bernhardt look to be three promising players against Boston. @machineMLL theohiomachine.com The New Editions With Major league Lacrosses’s collegiate draft recently occuring, the Ohio Machine traded up to number five to draft University of Denver’s attackman Connor Cannizzaro. The star-studded attackman looks to be promising with an unsolved Probable Starters mystery in an open spot for the Machine’s offense. Cannizzaro arguably played his best ball during the playoffs where he Attack led Denver to the semi-finals in Mens D-I Lacrosse. In the third-round, Nick Fields was selected. Fields will be joining the 1 Marcus Holman team this week against Chesapeake and should be ready to make an impact right away. On top of the star players select- ed, the Machine managed to draft not one but three players from The Ohio State University. Coach Bear Davis mentioned that having these players is, “huge for our program and having two hometown guys as a part of the sheen family is pretty 41 Mark Cockerton incredible”.

Between both Karalunas and McMahon, there are 36 CTs and each currently holds 18 a peice. McMahon has already surpassed last season’s total caused turnovers which was 14 in 11 games; the 12 Steven Waldeck Machine have currently played six games. Karalunas and McMahon combine for 12 rebounds and McMahon is leading all defenders with three Run Outs. 17 Jackson Place Battle at the Left With the return of Logan Schuss, the team now has two starting left attackers. Through the first four weeks, Faceoff Cockerton has been the key player for the machine and our go to attackman. Now that Logan is back in the 92 Greg Puskuldjian lineup the team is quickly forced to have Mark and Schuss battle it out for the starting position. This comes as no surprise for Mark Cockerton as he was quickly taken out of the starting lineup last year for attackman John Grant. Last year Mark appeared in just 13 games and found himself with 24 goals, 5 assists and 17 ground balls. So far in 2017, Cockerton had a rough start to the season with no goals in the first game. He has since scored in each of the last 3 games while accumulating 14 total points which happens to lead the team. During Logan’s first outing back, he scored himself his first goal in 3 years.
