If you live in the lower mainland you understand what traffic means to the commuters who venture into Vancouver for sporting events among other events.
Friday was just another normal day for traffic given that the Vancouver Whitecaps were playing Chicago at BC Place and across the street the Warriors were playing the Georgia Swarm.
Strange as it sounds both had good crowds but to the dismay of Whitecap supporters they dropped the game while the Warriors managed to pull out a 15-13 win in a gutsy performance.
The Warriors were hosting College Night in a contest that saw them manage the first goal an early 25 seconds in with Burnaby’s Marcus Klarich bringing the crowd to their feet only to be followed by the Swarm pulling even at 1:06.
The game saw Vancouver jump out to a 4-3 lead after one quarter outshooting the Swarm 13-11 in a game that entertained the impressive size crowd.
The second quarter saw the Warriors ignite their offense that continued the run for Keegan bAl who had a 12 point night which worked out to a hat-trick and nine assists through four quarters.
Warriors Ryan Martel led the scoring for the Warriors notching four goals along with one assist for a five point night while Marcus Klarich finished with three goals and two assists,
Sticking in the scoring department it was Warriors Kevin Crowley who managed a pair of goals along with four assists,
Warriors Riley Loewen managed one on the night while Owen Grant had a pair in a contest that saw Del Bianco turn aside 43 of the 56 shots he faced through sixty minutes while Alec Stathakis managed to grab 23 of 32 and 17 loose balls.
The Warriors improved to 7-7 on the season and currently sit in a position they have been focused on which is advancing to the playoffs.
The Warriors head East to Buffalo for a match-up with the two-time defending NLL Cup champion Bandits March 29th with the contest played at the Keybank Center with the face-ofs set for 4:30 pm west coast time.
On a side-note while we all know that everyone is quick to criticize we should congratulate NLL Official Mark Gardonio becomes only the second NLL Official in League history to officiate 400 games.
Congrat’s!!
