Vinc backstops Knighthawks to 13-8 win over Rush; NLL title series tied 1-1
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — With three National Lacrosse League championships to his name, it seems like Matt Vinc is trying to singlehandedly add a fourth to his collection.
The Rochester Knighthawks goaltender made 47 saves as Rochester defeated the Saskatchewan Rush 13-8 on Saturday to draw even in the NLL championship series.
The best-of-three series will be decided next Saturday in Saskatoon, just the second time in the five-year history of the three-game format that a decisive third game will be needed.
“We just have to go out there and limit their runs,” Vinc said. “It’s a big stage. Hopefully we come out with a big game.”
