Hounds
vs.
2013 Results: The Hounds and Rattlers split their regular-season series, with each team winning its
respective road game.
All-Time Series: The teams are an even 2-2 against one another.
While the teams have split each of their two regular-season series, the Rattlers overall have outscored the Hounds by a 47 to 39 goal margin. The Rattlers also have gotten more shots on goal (97 to 90),
despite the Hounds having a slight advantage at the faceoff X (52 of 102) and with groundballs (136 to 118). One of the big differences has been goaltending, as John Galloway has compiled a 57.0SV% in four games against the Hounds, while Adam Ghitelman has posted a 52.0SV%. Due to a scheduling quirk last
season that saw the Hounds and Rattlers play a home-and-away series early in the year, the teams haven’t faced one another since May 11, 2013. A lot has changed on both sides, with each team building
through the draft and adding fresh legs to its rosters. With both groups coming off big wins in Week 9 and hungry for the playoffs, the game should get off to an energetic start.
HOUNDS
The Hounds last week got back in the Win column, thanks in part to an eight-goal fourth quarter – which
included a 2-point goal from Mike Sawyer – to top the Cannons 15-12. It marks the first time in the
Hounds’ three-year history that they have beaten the Cannons. The game was back and forth from the beginning, with the teams tied at five going into
halftime. The Cannons pulled ahead 9-6 by the end of the third, but the fourth quarter was all Hounds.
Adam Ghitelman had six saves in that quarter alone (19 all together) as the defense held the Cannons to
just three more goals to seal the victory.
Players To Watch
Justin Ward (A) – The rookie is averaging 3.8 points per game, which ranks fifth among all MLL players.
John Haus (M) – He has already quintupled his 2013 output. Through 8 games last year, Haus tallied 3g,
2a. Through 8 games this season he has 15g, 3a.
Geoff Snider (FO/M) – Made his return to MLL action last week, going 10-26 at the X. His performance on
Saturday will play a large in role in how successful the Hounds are against the Rattlers.
RATTLERS
The Rattlers come into Charlotte riding a two-game win streak, including last week’s thrilling 19-14 victory
over the Outlaws. The Hounds and Rattlers are the only two teams to beat the Outlaws in the past two
seasons. Despite the Outlaws scoring the game’s first goal, the Rattlers jumped ahead 5-1 by the end of the opening quarter, and outscored the visitors 6-3 in the
second. The Outlaws started to come back in the third, thanks in part to two goals from Drew Snider,
but the Rattlers held on for the victory. John Galloway finished the game with 8 saves on 21 shots,
while Outlaws goaltender Jesse Schwartzman was pulled shortly after the start of the second half.
Players To Watch
Justin Turri (M) – The former Hound leads the Rattler with 27 points, nine of which were tallied in the last
two weeks.
Jordan MacIntosh (M) – The third year player is averaging 2 goals per game against the Hounds.
Joel White (D) – He has amassed 245 groundballs over three and a half seasons, and currently is on pace to top his single-season best of 71 in 2011.
