Box Score
The Philadelphia Wings held off a late New York rally and used
two offensive surges of their own and a six point effort from
rookie Gewas Schindler to
post a 15-13 triumph tonight.
The Saints’ fourth quarter comeback from a 15-10 deficit
wasn’t enough as they fell to 2-3.
Philadelphia (3-1), playing before the National Lacrosse
League’s largest crowd of the season, 16,750, scored five
times in a span of 3:16 in the third quarter to go from being
down 6-5 to leading 10-6 and also netted three scores in 1:18
midway through the fourth quarter after the visitors had cut the
Wings’ lead to 12-10.
Schindler, the team’s first round selection (seventh
overall) in last September’s NLL Draft, broke out with three
goals and three assists. The Loyola College graduate had been a
healthy scratch the last two games after having debuted with one
assist on opening night.
Philadelphia’s Jake Bergey was
the Game MVP with three goals and five assists. New York was led
by six points from Roy Colsey (3+3) and Darren Lowe (1+5) and
five goals from Mark Frye, who played with Schindler at Loyola.
The two teams meet again on Friday night (February 11) at Nassau
Coliseum in New York.
