NLL: Roughnecks get first win of season in front of home crowd

A four-goal effort by Tyler Pace in San Diego was wasted when the team went cold in the fourth and…

Week 3 action came to you from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, as the Halifax Thunderbirds visited the New York Riptide. There is no polite way to put it, this game was ugly.
