Church pots 4 goals as Rush romp to win over Knighthawks in Game 1 of NLL final
SASKATOON — The Saskatchewan Rush are one win away from winning their second National Lacrosse League championship in the last three years.
The Rush dumped the Rochester Knighthawks 16-9 in Game 1 of the NLL Championship series before 11,842 spectators at the SaskTel Centre on Saturday
Saskatchewan head coach Derek Keenan said the team put forth a “complete effort,” but shined in particular at forcing the Knighthawks to give up the ball.
“I thought we created a lot of turnovers early and it gave us an opportunity for some extra possessions,” he said.
