Since a horrendous 0-3 start, the Hawks are on a three-game win streak and are finally looking like the Championship team they became last season, with the potential to be much better than last year’s squad.

Last night was a chance for the Bandits to inch even closer to the first place Toronto Rock, given that the Rock lost the night before in Minnesota. Rochester, although seeming to be getting back on track, was a team that the Bandits had already beaten. Even so, nothing went as planned for Buffalo.
