DENVER – Former University of Denver men's lacrosse players were back in action around North America last weekend for Week 21 of the 2026 NLL season.  
 
The weekend opened with San Diego clinching its playoff spot with a 14-12 win over Las Vegas. Wes Berg had a pair of goals, Trevor Baptiste went 21-of-30 from the stripe and Danny Logan scooped up 12 loose balls in the win.
 
Halifax did some playoff clinching of its own in the second game on Saturday, defeating Ottawa 12-6. Casey Wilson had a pair of assists in the win.
 
Alex Simmons had a goal and six assists and Ethan Walker had another three-point game as Oshawa ended its season on a high note with a 12-8 win over Buffalo.
 
Jack Hannah and Tyler Pace had a pair of five-point nights as Calgary edged Colorado. Pace scored the game-winning goal with 5:39 remaining. Hannah completed his hat trick with 2:11 to play to bring the game back to within one, but the Mammoth couldn't find the leveler.
 
Richie Connell finished the regular season for the #ProPios with four goals and a helper in Georgia's five-goal win over Rochester.
