The playoffs in both National Collegiate Box Series leagues – the Colorado Collegiate Box Lacrosse League and Ohio Collegiate Box Lacrosse League – will begin on Wednesday, July 25 at the Foothills Fieldhouse in Denver and the Resolute Athletic Complex in Columbus.
In the CCBLL, the first-place Bighorns (8-2) and second-place Gold Miners (7-3) have received first-round byes, while all remaining teams in Colorado and Ohio will compete in single-game elimination openers in the first round.
Like last, the CCBLL’s Morrow Cup Final will consist of a best-of-three series, which in 2018 was won by the Bighorns 2-0 over the Fighting Bison, who today announced that Trevor Baptiste would be making his return to the team after winning gold with Team USA at the FIL World Lacrosse Championships in Israel.
The OCBLL’s Ohio Cup Final winner will be determined by a two-game series, that if tied after those two contests, will be decided via an additional full ten-minute over-time period played immediately after Game 2.
