History

2013: A perfect 6-0 record during the 2013 season, the Lakers were the top-seed in The Two-day MCLC Playoff Tournament. On opening day the Lakers took an easy 13-8 victory over Chitown LC in the quarterfinals. The semifinals had the Lakers against their division-rival Minneapolis LC, who they defeated 9-8 on a goal with just :02 remaining. Minnesota came up just short of their second-straight league title, losing 5-4 in overtime to Cleveland LC.

2012: Minnesota Lakers were the fourth-seed for the post-season tournament held in Barrington, Illinois after finishing 4-2. With victories over fifth-seeded Cincinnati LC and top-seed Lincoln Park LC, Minnesota advanced to the MCLC championship game. An 8-6 win over Chicago LC earned the Lakers their second league championship in club history.

2011: Just 3-3 during the regular season, Minnesota would defeat Motor City LC in the tourney quarterfinal only to fall 14-9 against Columbus LC. A third-place game win against Windy City LC ended up earning the Lakers a share of the championship* (with Lincoln Park LC) as Columbus LC vacated the title a month after defeating Lincoln Park 8-3 in the final. A new championship game between the two could not be arranged and both were awarded a share of the championship.
