All summer long, the question has remained the same.Who is going to be the first Major League Lacrosse champion?Each of the league's six teams remained in contention to reach the first-ever MLL postseason tournament until the final week of the season. While the games have been close all summer, often decided by less than two goals a contest, the regular season has been just as even, with all six teams aiming for one of four playoff spots and the chance to win the whole darn thing.The players rounded up to play in Jake Steinfeld's elite lacrosse league all are cut from the same cookie cutter when it comes to speed, stick skills and game smarts. And when the playoffs explode on Labor Day weekend, fans will also see that they all share the same unquenchable thirst for victory.If you thought that the regular season games were tight, wait until the playoffs start. The hitting will be twice as hard, the shots even faster than before and the pace of the game will be off the charts with a championship on the line.2001 MLL Season StatisticsMLL Leaders in Points1.
