In the second of the two Final Four games the #1 seed Syracuse University took on the #4 seed Denver University. Like the game before it, it was a nail biter and filled with amazing play.

It went up until the last few seconds, but the Rochester Knighthawks did it. For the second year in a row the K-Hawks are on top of the league, this time winning the franchise’s fourth championship in front of a sold out crowd at the Langley Events Centre.

Names like Shawn Williams, Dhane Smith, Aaron Wilson, Mike Hominuck, Jamie Rooney, and Nick Cotter all joined an offensive unit that seriously lacked secondary scoring. The defense was a little more questionable, full of young players who would…
The Bandits once again saw a game escape their grip, despite their early lead. Rochester rode a six to nothing streak in the first half on route to a 10-9 lead, giving the Knighthawks the second seed in the east and eliminating the Buffalo Bandits.
