CBS Sports Network has announced the broadcast team that will announce National Lacrosse League games on the network this season, starting on April 7. The network announced that Casey Powell, a previous winner of the National Lacrosse League’s Most Valuable Player Award, and Mike Powell, who along with Casey was a former All-American at Syracuse University, join CBS Sports Network as game analysts for the Network’s NLL schedule. The action debuts Saturday, April 7 as the Philadelphia Wings visit the Buffalo Bandits (7:30 PM, ET). The Powell brothers, who were each four-time All-Americans during their college careers, will be joined in the booth by veteran play-by-play announcer Brent Stover.
“I’ve enjoyed playing in the NLL, and I’m looking forward to this exciting new chapter”, said Casey. “I’m excited to bring my perspective as a player to the booth, and really excited to work with my brother Mike and the entire CBS Sports Network team this season.”
“I’ve been a huge fan of the indoor game for a long time”, said Mike. “I’m excited for this opportunity to work with Casey. I’m sure we’ll have some fun in the booth.” Mike has previously served as an analyst, calling Syracuse Orange lacrosse games in the Syracuse area on Time Warner Cable Sports.
