The Blue Jays had the most seniors in this year's draft class, followed by Drexel, Georgetown, Massachusetts, Syracuse and Virginia, which each have three draft-eligible seniors on the roster ...

M Benson Erwin was selected fourth overall by the Bayhawks, while D Tom Garvey and A Kyle Barrie were taken in the second round.

WE HAVE YOUR NUMBER: For the New Jersey Pride, the most difficult games seem to be against the Baltimore Bayhawks ... Baltimore has defeated their National Division rival ten straight times, including a pair of wins early this season ... New Jersey's last win in the series came on June 29, 2002 in a 22-17 decision at Commerce Bank Ballpark ... Baltimore has only needed to win at home three times during the stretch, including last Sunday's 16-point victory.

CAN WE TURN THIS AROUND?: A year ago, the Philadelphia Barrage turned a 1-11 season into a 7-5 record during the regular season and the MLL championship ... This year, the New Jersey Pride are hoping to do the same ... After tying the league record for fewest wins and most losses in a single season, the Pride are looking to turn things around ... The 1-11 record included 11 straight losses after a season-opening win over Philadelphia in the Barrage's debut in the City of Brotherly Love.

After winning the season opener against Long Island, the Pride have lost two straight to the Bayhawks, which they will not face again until July 23 in Baltimore.

LET'S PLAY ON THE ROAD: During the 2004 regular season, wearing a road uniform was not a bad thing as the road team went 23-13 (.639) during the regular season ... Baltimore became the first team in MLL history to complete a perfect season away from home, winning all six of its games away from Johnny Unitas ® Stadium at Towson University.

Every team won at least once on the road last year ... New Jersey earned its only win of the season at Philadelphia in the season opener at Villanova Stadium .before losing five straight road games to end the season ... They snapped that streak with the season-opening victory at Long Island two weeks ago.

MLL RETURNS TO ESPN2 FOR 2005: For the third straight season, Major League Lacrosse returns to ESPN2 as the "Game of the Week" package features 12 exciting games during the season ... Games will air on Tuesday afternoons beginning at 4:00 p.m. unless otherwise designated ... This week will mark the first broadcast of the package when the Rochester Rattlers take on the Boston Cannons.

Joe Beninati and Quint Kessenich return for the 2005 season while MLL Director of Public Relations Jason Chandler handles the sideline duties this season.

STARTING OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT: Beginning the season on a good note does not necessarily guarantee an MLL championship at the end of the season ... Last year, the Boston Cannons won their first four games before falling to Long Island ... The Cannons advanced to the New Balance MLL Championship Game before losing to Philadelphia by a 13-11 margin ... Conversely, the Barrage began the season with a 2-5 record before ending the year with seven straight wins, including a pair of victories to clinch the team's first league championship ... It was a complete turnaround for the Barrage, who had a 1-11 record in 2003.

For the Philadelphia Barrage, defending their MLL title has gotten off to a rough start after a 13-12 loss to Boston on Sunday night ... They became the third straight team to lose their first game after winning the title the year before ... The only team to earn a win in their first game as champions is Long Island, which won by 21-8 over Bridgeport to start the 2002 season.

MR. CONSISTENCY: For the last 31 games, the Baltimore Bayhawks have been able to count on one player to score at least once - A and Player-Coach Gary Gait ... The 1991 Syracuse graduate has scored in every game since July 18, 2002 against the New Jersey Pride ... He is still over a season away from reaching the league mark of 46 straight games with a goal, set by New Jersey A Jesse Hubbard.

Gait's former teammate, Boston A Mark Millon, is also approaching Hubbard's mark ... He has scored a goal in 25 straight games, dating back to the beginning of the 2003 season ... He ranks third on Baltimore's all-time list for games with a consecutive goal behind Gait and A Tom Marechek.

New Jersey A Scott Urick was held scoreless for the first time in 25 games against the Bayhawks two weeks ago ... His streak ends as the sixth longest in MLL history.

The streaks do not include postseason games.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES!: Since the end of the 2004 season, several high-profile players have made a move from one team to another, including three of last year's league award winners.

In Philadelphia, three of the league's award winners were traded to division rival Long Island, including Warrior Goalie of the Year Greg Cattrano, who was traded for the second straight season.

Meanwhile, Baltimore's all-time scoring leader was traded as A Mark Millon was sent to the Boston Cannons in exchange for GK Trevor Tierney after four seasons in a Bayhawks uniform.

In addition, Tony Resch made his return to Major League Lacrosse as he was named head coach of the defending MLL champion Barrage ... He was an assistant coach for the Bayhawks for two seasons before stepping aside after the Bayhawks' 2002 championship season ... Also, former Barrage assistant coach Jim Mulé was named as the Long Island Lizards coach, replacing Vinnie Sombrotto ... Sombrotto coached the Lizards last year, guiding them to a 6-6 record.

NEW BALANCE CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND MAKES RETURN TO BOSTON: For the second straight season, the New Balance Major League Lacrosse Championship Weekend returns to Boston University's Nickerson Field on August 19 and 21 ... Last year, over 15,000 fans came to home field of the Boston Cannons for three games, including an MLL-postseason record crowd of 8,273 for the title game between the Philadelphia Barrage and the Cannons.

The format for selecting the teams will remain the same for the 2005 season, as the two division champions and two teams with the next best records (regardless of division) advance to play for the league championship ... The championship game will air live on ESPN2 on Sunday, August 21 at 1:00 p.m. in the finale of the MLL Game of the Week package.
