May 4, 2013 - National Lacrosse League (NLL) News Release
The National Lacrosse League has announced the Champion's Cup matchup for the 2013 NLL Championship Game, presented by Reebok, on Saturday, May 11, following the conclusion of tonight's second-round Division Final playoff games.
The fifth overall seed and East Division champion Rochester Knighthawks, the 2012 defending NLL champs, will visit the third-seeded West Division champion Washington Stealth at Langley Events Centre in Langley, British Columbia at 7 p.m. ET. The game will be televised live exclusively on CBS Sports Network.
The Knighthawks defeated the Minnesota Swarm at home by a score of 12-10 in the East Division Final while the Stealth beat the Calgary Roughnecks 14-13 on the road in the West Division Final.
