2013 Results: The Cannons swept the season series against the Hounds 2-0 but only by a combined
three-goal margin.
All-Time Series: The Hounds are 0-4 all-time against the Cannons.
The Cannons are the only team the Hounds haven’t beaten in their two seasons in the MLL, getting
outscored 67-45 in four games. Faceoffs have been one of the Hounds’ weakest areas, as Chris Eck has
dominated the X, going 87-127 (68.5%) in the four matchups. The Cannons also lead in groundballs (134-
104) and shots on goal (126-101). In addition, Jordan Burke has a 54.5 save percentage against the
Hounds. By comparison, Adam Ghitelman is only at 45.9% against the Cannons. While the Hounds have
done a decent job of keeping Paul Rabil in check (averaging just 2.5 points per game), it has opened up
players like Mike Stone, who has registered a combined 10 goals and one assist against Charlotte.
Meanwhile, Matt Danowski has averaged 3.75 points per game against the Cannons. Things between the
two teams have gotten chippy, with a combined 18 penalty minutes. However, the Cannons have fared
far better (71.4%) on the man-up than the Hounds (14.3%).
HOUNDS
Last week the Hounds finally put together a complete
game, registering double-digit goals and playing shut
down defense to earn their first victory of 2014. The
game was delayed by two hours due to severe
thunderstorms in the area, but once the first faceoff
took place the Hounds jumped out to a 4-0 lead over
the Bayhawks. The Hounds never trailed in the game,
and only allowed the Bayhawks to pull within two
goals. Pierce Bassett stood tall in goal, making 10
saves on 17 shots. Meanwhile, Bayhawks goalie Kip
Turner had 17 saves on 28 shots.
Players To Watch
Tim Fallon (FO) – After a rough first outing, the FOGO
has put together two solid performances to move his
win percentage up to 55%.
Mason Poli (LSM) – The second-year player made an
immediate impact in his MLL return, recording a 2-
point goal, an assist and a groundball.
Brett Schmidt (D) – He has become the leader at close
defense, with an aggressive, won’t give up attitude.
CANNONS
The Cannons have dropped two straight games after
opening the year with a 15-9 victory over the
defending MLL Champion Bayhawks. However, both
losses have been by just one goal, including last
week’s overtime thriller against the Outlaws. The
Cannons struggled at the X, going just 9-23. They also
were only 1-6 on the powerplay, but killed off both of
the Outlaws’ man-up opportunities. Jordan Burke had
16 saves on 26 shots, including five in the fourth
quarter to help force the overtime period.
Players To Watch
Kevin Buchanon (A) – In three games, the MLL
veteran has tallied 12 goals, three times the Cannons
next highest scorer.
Brodie Merrill (D) – The six-time defensive MVP
joined the team in an offseason trade, and currently
leads the team with 16 groundballs.
Jack Rice (A) – The rookie has tallied four goals over
his first three MLL games, including two last week
against the Outlaws.

10. NOTEWORTHY – May 17, 2014
CORE FOUR: There currently are four players on the Hounds roster that have been with the
team since its inception in 2012 – Matt Danowski, Adam Ghitelman, Ryan Flanagan and Brett
Schmidt. However, the team returned 16 players from the 2013 season.
GOING STREAKING: Ryan Young enters Week 4 riding a 21-game streak of recording at least
one point, dating back to Aug. 11, 2012 (including the postseason).
MILESTONE MOMENTS: Hounds rookie Thomas DeNapoli scored his first-ever MLL goal in his
debut against the Bayhawks last week.
WHO LET THE DOGS OUT: With Loyola’s loss to Albany in the NCAA tournament last week, the
Hounds were able to activate draftees Justin Ward and Pat Laconi.
DINO-MYTE: Matt Danowski needs just six more goals to hit the 150 mark for his career
(including the postseason). The attackman also is just eight assists away from reaching 100.
POWER OUTAGE: The Hounds last week scored their first powerplay goals of the season, going
2-6 on man-up opportunities. However, their 20PP% ranks ahead of only the Rattlers at 12.5%.
In addition, the Hounds have a league-worst 44.44PK%.
TWO FOR YOU: The Cannons are the only MLL team yet to score a two-point goal. The Hounds
last week tallied their first of the season.
BIRTHDAY BOY: Ryan Young will celebrate his 25th
birthday on the 22nd
of this month.
