Sask. Rush drop season opener against Georgia
A goaltender change was just the pick-me-up the Georgia Swarm needed to rally against the National Lacrosse League defending champions the Saskatchewan Rush in their season opener.
The Swarm, who were the second highest scoring team in the NLL in 2016, started their 2017 season with an 18-10 win Saturday, Jan. 7 in Georgia.
Points were quickly on the board with Miles Thompson of the Swarm netting his first of the game on the power play not even two minutes in.
The Rush answered back 13 seconds later with a goal from Mark Matthews, which the Swarm replied with two goals by Kiel Matisz and Ethan O’Connor.
