The New York Riptide soundly defeated the Philadelphia Wings 16-9 in a game where the Wings were swept away from the beginning. Jeff Teat came in like a tidal wave and ended the game cresting to 5 goals and 4 assists including his 100th career goal. As Wings general manager and head coach Paul Day acknowledged, it is hard to stop one of the best players in the world. The…
The Philadelphia Wings were down but not out. Despite missing four players, being on a two-game skid, and never leading in this game until the final goal, the Wings found a way to win, beating the Halifax Thunderbirds 16-15 in overtime at Scotiabank Centre in Halifax. The Wings were without Holden Cattoni, Blaze Riorden, Ryan Wagner and Curtis Romanchych. Cattoni and Riordan combined for 157 points last year and are…
The 2023-24 NLL season was officially underway, as the final game from week one came to you from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The Philadelphia Wings came to town to take on the New York Riptide. Obviously, both teams were looking to start the new campaign off strong, however it was the Wings who came out with the dub. After starting the game on a five-goal run across…
The game was summed up succinctly in a post-game interview with Mitch Jones. “We’re in a dog fight. We’re in a fight for our playoff lives.” Fortunately for the Philadelphia Wings, their 14-13 OT victory over the Rochester Knighthawks keeps them in playoff contention. Not only did they prevent Rochester from clinching a playoff spot, they kept themselves alive. On fan appreciation night, it was also a night of family…
The Halifax Thunderbirds soared into Philadelphia and came out with a huge 14-10 win on Saturday evening at Wells Fargo Centre. The game (which had a playoff vibe) was fast and physical. It came down to the little things that ended up making the difference in the game, including a controversial goal that wasn’t a goal – but then became a goal because the official didn’t blow the whistle in…
The Georgia Swarm buzzed into Philadelphia on Saturday morning and ended up with the 13-12 win. Bark in the Bowl (a special day where fans are encouraged to bring their puppers) became a dog fight, with the scrappiest team getting the bone (win). It was the seventh consecutive time these two teams have played to a one-goal finish. Things were off to a slow start before Joe Resetarits found the…
Who doesn’t love some Sunday afternoon lacrosse? I’ll even add to that: who doesn’t love a massive East Conference matchup with serious playoff implications? That’s exactly what we had in store Sunday afternoon in Rochester, New York. The Knighthawks were in third place in the East, and Philadelphia was in fifth. It would be interesting to see what kind of shape the Wings would be in, as they played Saturday…
The Philadelphia Wings silenced the Toronto Rock 11-10 with an all-around team victory on Monday night in Philadelphia. Philadelphia jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with Matt Rambo and Blaze Riorden finding the back of the net in the first quarter. The second quarter saw more evenly matched play as Philadelphia scored five to Toronto’s four. The third quarter began, and the fans held their collective breath as Philly…
Mitch Jones was like a kid in a candy shop at the Philadelphia Wings’ Saturday afternoon family-friendly lacrosse game. He dodged, he passed, he scored – and he did it a lot. His 14 points were a large reason Philadelphia ended up with the 19-12 victory over the New York Riptide. The game, at times, was not so “family-friendly” as three fights broke out throughout the game. Mitch Jones must…
It was “wing night” in Buffalo, New York on Saturday night. Years prior, it seemed ironic that Philadelphia came to town for these games, but now it seems like a good marketing ploy. I’ll take a single order of hot, please. The Bandits came in sitting atop the East Division, while Philadelphia was in the middle of the pack battling for playoff positioning. Buffalo won the other meeting between these…
