The Dirty Birds stayed unbeaten but had a close call as the Mesh Addicts did all they could in the Final here in Providence. Casey Johnson had three points in the win. Ethan Mahoney and Steven Pezzullo had 2 goals of their own to round out a well balanced attack. Nate Mulone stood tall in goal in the 1st half for the Mesh Addicts and he finished with 8 saves. Mesh addicts led 5-2 at the half. But a late 2nd half surge by the Birds allowed them to prevail. There were a lot of crucial ground balls and faceoff wins by Justin Haverly on the Birds. Great summer in Providence comes to and end with a back-to-back championship win for the Dirty birds who prevail 10-8 over the Mesh Addicts.

Nate Mulone came up huge for the Mesh addicts and had 6 fist half saves to propel them into the 9pm Final.

Bae's Win for the 1st time in two years. With a lot of new faces, it was a competitive regular season finally. Both teams look forward to the final next week

Behind a 7 point effort from David Murray the Dirty Birds make it to the final!

Slide Method faced off against Ghost Lacrosse in the final contest of the evening. Changing some things up for Slide Method seemed to do the trick, as they came out fast and never let Ghost Lacrosse catch up. Slide Method was opportunistic all night, with Romeyn Murray (3g) registering a hat trick off of hustle plays. Couple this with solid team defense and an excellent performance from Asher Harrison (11 saves) in net, and Slide Method was able to cruise to the victory. For Ghost Lacrosse, Lucas Dempsey (1g) and Nick Coons (1g) continue to be mainstays on the scoresheet, but unfortunately they were not able to get much offensive production outside of them. In goal for Ghost Lacrosse, Ethan Isdell (4 saves) was able to rebound from a rough start after seeing multiple shots from inside early.

The Gamecocks controlled both halves en route to a solid 7–3 win over the Beach Bums. A fast start and disciplined defense helped them take a 4–1 lead into halftime. The Beach Bums showed signs of life in the second half, but the Gamecocks responded with key stops and a couple of late scores to put the game away. It was a composed, team-driven effort that keeps the Gamecocks rolling.

It wouldn't be a Ulax championship game without a little bit of drama. Freaky Lee Elite and Mild Cats both won their semi-final games and advanced to the championship game at 8pm. It was knotted up 1-1 in the first half when both teams scored late to make it a 3-2 game going into half time, advantage to Freaky Lee Elite. The second half began to get a little chippy as flags started to fly as both teams were hungry for a championship. At the end of the day the defense for both squads and the goalies stood on their heads, making saves left and right, as the clock struck 0 in regulation and the game was in a 3-3 tie. Overtime started immediately as it was a race against the clock. 5 minutes into overtime with both teams having multiple possessions and opportunities to score, the lights at the field went out and the game ended in a 3-3 tie. What a way to end the 2025 Naperville Ulax Season. Everyone is a champion!?

The Red Hook Raiders took on the Bunyon Bandits in the second game of the evening. The Raiders continue to rely on a stifling defense and a lightning fast offense to stay undefeated. Most notably, in net Dom Zichelli (14 saves) setting a season high in saves anchoring the back end. Mike Mrzyglod (3g) of The Red Hook Raiders led all players offensively, with Anthony Angley (1a) registering the games lone assist. For the Bunyon Bandits, Gene Sydor (9 saves) and Jacob Sichlau (2g) stood out from the pack, but unfortunately their efforts were not enough to survive The Raiders onslaught.

The Slizzy Salamanders dominated from start to finish, cruising to a 12–4 win over the Sharks. A big second inning opened the floodgates, and the Salamanders never looked back. Consistent offense and clean defense kept the Sharks from mounting a comeback, as the Salamanders improved the win loss on the season with a statement win.

For a fourth straight year, the Mild Cats are headed to the Naperville Ulax championship game after an 11-5 victory over last years champion, Blue Ballers. In the second semi-final, the Blue Ballers came out hot and were leading the game by a score of 4-0. Then the Mild Cats turned it around and went on a 10 goal run, to have a commanding 10-4 lead late in the second half. Maluta finished with 2 goals and 3 assists while Works added 3 goals and 1 assist to lead the Mild Cats to the championship game.

On a perfect night for lacrosse, two founding titans clashed: the QC Kings (2022 champs) and the Banktown Bandits (2023 champs). The game lived up to its billing...and then some. It started fast, with Britt Rumbaugh putting QC on the board first with an unassisted strike. But Banktown answered right back as Luke Kennedy ripped one past Campbell “Stack Master” Stack, tying it 1-1. Despite Stack’s sharp play in net, Kevin Jendrasik and Alex Nemeth, assisted by Noah Beard, snuck two more in for Banktown. Then came a highlight-reel moment: Hunter Duford, flat on the turf after taking a great check, fired a shot from the ground to pull QC within one. At halftime, Banktown led 3-2. The second half opened with QC turning the tide, Hufford, assisted by Caleb Hudson on a silky backhand flip, tied it 3-3. Then moments later, Frank Wise hit Captain Sam Haggard for the go-ahead. QC led 4-3. Banktown wasn’t done. A turnover led to a fast break goal by Kenneth Crowley, tying it up again. Then, with time winding down, Jendrasik scored his second, an unassisted beauty, putting Banktown up again 5-4 with the 3rd lead change of the game. With the pressure mounting, QC won the faceoff and Rumbaugh stepped into a cannon shot to tie it 5-5. With seconds left QC called a time out to get their best look, however Banktown defense, led by Elija Tracy came up huge with a game-saving stop to send this one to Overtime. Overtime was madness. QC won the draw and executed a perfect play, an alley dodge and crease feed...SAVE! Tracy anticipating the pass from a week earlier, made the save of the season. Banktown countered with crisp pass to X then a feed to the top of the box for a perfect look and SAVE! Stack said NO with his 10th save. As the clock ticked toward Braveheart territory (1v1 sudden death), nerves ran wild. Then, Jendrasik, matched with a short stick, saw his moment...on the run, stick-side high GOAL! Hat trick. Game-winner. Legend status. Final: Banktown 6 – QC Kings 5 (OT) and the 2025 Men's League Champions are the Banktown Bandits!!!! Let us all be inspired by the ageless wonders. Shoutouts: Kevin Jendrasik – Hat trick hero (3 goals), including the OT game-winner Campbell “Stack Master” Stack – 10 saves in a monster performance Elija Tracy – Championship-saving stop in regulation and OT Thank you to every player, fan, and refs who made this season possible. See you next season!

The Cradle Rockers faced off against Slide Method in the first contest of the evening. With both teams trading blows throughout the game, it ended up coming down to goalie Theo Weidinger (12 saves) to seal the game out for the Cradle Rockers. Offensively, Troy Cammer (2g) and Kadyn MacNeil (2g) led the Cradle Rockers, while Nick Darcangelo (2g) stood out for Slide Method in a losing effort. Splitting time in net for Slide Method was Zach Novak (3 saves) and Asher Harrison (3 saves).

The Brewins secured an 8–5 victory over the Beach Bums in a hard-fought matchup. They jumped out to an early lead with sharp hitting and solid baserunning, holding off a late push from the Bums in the final innings. A strong defensive stand and a key insurance run late sealed the win, moving the Brewins to 2–0 on the season.

In our first semi-final game of the night, the Freaky Lee Elite continued their winning ways by knocking off the Tigons by a score of 11-7. It was a 2 goal game late in the second half, but Freaky Lee added 2 goals late to pull of the win. They had a great showing from Vanderwiel with 5 goals and Peacock with 1 goal and 4 assists to help them advance to the championship game.
