Rush off to 4th consecutive NLL Final with win over Calgary
If one is an accident, two is a coincidence and three is a trend, then four must be a force of habit.
Four is the number of consecutive trips to the NLL Finals for the Saskatchewan Rush after the team survived a late surge by the Calgary Roughnecks to take the Western Final 15-13 at Sasktel Centre on Sunday.
The Rush came out flying to start the game. Jumping out to an early 4-2 lead on the scoreboard and a 19-7 lead on the shot counter.
Saskatchewan’s transition game and depth shone in the second quarter as they spread the scoring wealth. Taking a 6-2 lead on a Ben McIntosh powerplay goal, the game had potential to get out of hand.
