National League Lacrosse: Colorado Mammoth (5-0) Look To Stay Unbeaten Against Minnesota Swarm On Feb 18 In St. Paul, MN
The undefeated Colorado Mammoth (5-0) will face the Minnesota Swarm (3-2) on Saturday night at 6:00pm MT at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn. in the teams’ second match-up of the season.
Colorado, which owns a two-game lead in the West Division over Minnesota and the Calgary Roughnecks, tied a franchise record with 20 goals scored when the teams met on January 14 at Pepsi Center on Opening Night.
In the opener, Mammoth forward John Grant Jr. led all scorers with 11 points (4g, 7a) en route to being named the National Lacrosse League’s Offensive Player of the Week. Mammoth captain Gavin Prout recorded three goals and six assists, while Minnesota forward Callum Crawford matched Prout’s point total (4g, 5a).
The Mammoth, which leads the league in scoring at 14.2 goals per game, is coming off a bye week. The Swarm offense is second best in the NLL, averaging 13.2 scores per contest. Minnesota won both of its games a weekend ago, defeating the Edmonton Rush and Rochester Knighthawks. Friday’s overtime game was the second-longest in league history (72 minutes and 23 seconds), as the Swarm beat the Rush, 10-9. On Sunday, Minnesota defeated Rochester, 9-6.

National League Lacrosse: Washington Stealth Lose 12-11 To Calgary Roughnecks Feb 10
It was a chaotic evening at the Comcast Arena at Everett tonight, as the Washington Stealth (1-4) and Calgary Roughnecks (3-2) accumulated 141 penalty minutes in the first quarter alone, but followed that up with a back-and-forth battle between a pair of talented lacrosse teams.
A goal with two minutes left in regulation proved to be the difference as the Roughnecks left Everett with a 12-11 victory.
There were fireworks from the opening face-off in this one as two heavyweights, the Stealth’s Jeff Moleski and Calgary’s Geoff Snider dropped the gloves to set the tone for the evening. From that erupted four more fights in the quarter. But following the first quarter outbursts, the two teams combined for just 21 minutes of penalties the rest of the game.
The Roughnecks scored the first two goals of the game, with the Stealth answering with goals from Rhys Duch and Brett Bucktooth. The first quarter ended with the score knotted at two.
The teams traded goal-scoring blows for the remaining 45 minutes of action, ending the second quarter tied at six and the third quarter tied at eight. Stealth goaltender Tyler Richards was stellar in goal all night, making 39 of his career-high 59 saves in the first half.
“Tyler was amazing for us tonight,” said Stealth assistant coach Art Webster. “We should have won this game based on his play. He proved that he’s one of the top goaltenders in the world tonight.”

National League Lacrosse: Washington Stealth Notch First Win In 11-10 Overtime Victory Over Buffalo Bandits
The Washington Stealth earned its first win of 2012 tonight, needing overtime to get past the Buffalo Bandits in front of over 14,000 fans at the First Niagara Center. The Stealth got great performances by numerous players, including All-Pro forward Rhys Duch whose fourth goal of the night gave the Stealth an 11-10 win in overtime.
The Stealth, which had led the National Lacrosse League in goals scored in each of the last two seasons, entered tonight’s game averaging a league-low eight goals per game. The leading scorers for the Stealth, Duch and fellow All-Pro forward Lewis Ratcliff, had combined for just 21 points in the first three games. The duo bucked that trend against the Bandits as Duch finished with a game-high eight points (4g, 4a) and Ratcliff tallied six points (3g, 3a) of his own.
“Our best players need to come out and be our best players,” said Stealth Assistant Coach Art Webster after the game. “We made some adjustments offensively and Rhys and Lewis really stepped up and answered the bell.”
Both Duch and Ratcliff got on the board in the early stages of the game. Duch tied the score at one five minutes into the game. The early goal was an indication the fourth-year forward was primed for a strong outing.

National League Lacrosse: Colorado Mammoth Defeat Edmonton Rush 11-7 To Improve To 5-0 On Season
In a sport where the best goaltenders average 10 or more goals-against per game and save 80 percent of their shots or less, Chris Levis stood tall for the Colorado Mammoth on Saturday night.
Levis made 37 saves and the Mammoth finished strong with four goals in the final five minutes to defeat the Edmonton Rush, 11-7, at Pepsi Center.
“He is a good goaltender and I don’t think he gets enough credit throughout the league,” said Colorado head coach Bob Hamley of Levis. “We talk about getting respect and he is quickly earning it.”
The victory improves Colorado to 5-0 on the season, tying its best start to a National Lacrosse League campaign with the 2008 team. The Mammoth remains as the only undefeated team in the league.
After Colorado could only muster one goal on a five-minute power play in the first quarter, a Gavin Prout high-sticking penalty five minutes into the second period gave Edmonton the chance to grab momentum with its own five-minute, man-up chance.

National League Lacrosse: Colorado Mammoth Is NLL’s Only Unbeaten Team At 4-0 In Their Best Start Since 2005
The Colorado Mammoth remain the NLL’s only unbeaten team through Week 4 and retain the top spot in the ILIndoor.com power rankings.
The Mammoth (4-0) got three goals and four assists from league scoring leader John Grant Jr. in a 14-11 win over the Rochester Knighthawks last Saturday night. It’s the best start by Colorado since 2005, when they won their first five games.
Coach Bob Hamley’s team will try to match that Saturday when they face the Edmonton Rush at the Pepsi Center. The game is set to begin at 9 p.m. ET and can be seen on the NLL Network at NLL.com
John Grant Jr. had three goals and four assists, pushing his league-leading point total to 37, as the Mammoth topped the Knighthawks 14-11 on Saturday night. Grant, who played 10 seasons with Rochester, told ColoradoMammoth.com that this matchup held special meaning for him.
“I was looking forward to this game a little too badly,” he said. “It’s a team I played 10 years with and I owe a lot to the organization. I really wanted a win in this barn and we got it.”
Colorado remains the only unbeaten team in the league and will play three of its next four at the Pepsi Center, considered one of the most raucous arenas in the NLL.
