The Buffalo Bandits have secured their third consecutive National Lacrosse League (NLL) championship, defeating the Saskatchewan Rush 15-6 in Game 3. This victory ties them with the Rochester Knighthawks for the most titles in league history and marks a significant milestone for the team.
Record-Breaking Achievement
- The Bandits’ seventh title surpasses both the Philadelphia Wings and Toronto Rock, solidifying their position as one of the top teams in the league.
- Matt Vinc played a crucial role in securing the victory with his impressive goaltending performance, despite being outshot by Saskatchewan 48-53 throughout the game.
- Vinc held off opponents to gain momentum for his team, allowing no goals during the second half of play.
- His experience, having been part of multiple championships before this one, including another three-peat as a member of the Rochester Knighthawks, undoubtedly helped him perform under pressure.
Series Overview
- The Saskatchewan Rush had previously taken control of the series, forcing Game 3 after winning last Sunday’s matchup against the Buffalo Bandits 11-10.
- They started off strong again, jumping ahead early and taking an initial lead within the first minute of play but ultimately fell short against a determined Buffalo team.
Historical Context
- Buffalo’s win marks their third consecutive championship since joining the NLL in 1991 and their fourth overall since relocating from Rochester to Buffalo prior to the start of the inaugural season.
