Using a 10-goal run between the third and fourth quarters, Colorado quickly put this game to bed, cruising…
NLL: Roughnecks win critical game against Halifax
What a difference two weeks can make. When the Calgary Roughnecks stepped off the turf on February 3rd, they’d just dropped both games of a double header and plummeted to 15th in the standings – last place.

NLL: Thunderbirds soar over Desert Dogs ahead of back-to-back weekend
