The Swarm's Weekend From Hell
Saturday, February 14, 2015
Toronto, Ontario
Attendance: 8,668
Game Links
A weekend that started with great anticipation of what could come ended with a swift and powerful kick to the Minnesota Swarm's family jewels. Losing by twelve on Friday night at The Hive to Rock, both teams played against each other again tonight in Toronto and the Swarm fall 14-9. The loss drops the Swarm to last place at the end of the night in the East Division. However, all Swarm fans are wondering about the status of the team's all-time leading scorer Callum Crawford who left the game in the first quarter with a lower body injury. No news is yet known of how serious the injury is. Kiel Matisz stepped up to take Crawford's spot and led the team with 2 goals and 2 assists. Logan Schuss had three goals with Jordan MacIntosh, Andrew Suitor, Miles Thompson and Shane MacDonald each getting a goal with MacDonald's goal his first ever in the NLL and with the Swarm. Zach Higgins started in net but was replaced by Brodie MacDonald in the second quarter who started to show his worth with 28 saves on 36 shots.
