Georgia swarmed their way to their fist victory of the season as they upset the Albany FireWolves 20-4 in a game that was only close in the first quarter. The locker room must have been as loud as Gas South Arena, as Georgia recorded its first victory of the season. For the Swarm, it was an offensive showing that was long past-due. However, it wasn’t an effort from all of…

NLL: Injury-plagued Bandits remain atop the East with OT win over Wings
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…
