In NLL action last night, the Philadelphia Wings defeated the Portland Lumberjax 13-10 at the Rose Garden in Portland, OR. Forward Athan Iannucci scored six goals (now has 60 on the season) and is just one goal away from tying the NLL's single season goal scoring record of 61 (set in 2003 while playing for the Colorado Mammoth).
Wings forward Athan Iannucci needs one goal to tie Gary Gait's single season goal scoring record for the NLL. Iannucci will have another opportunity tonight when the Wings head to St. Paul, MN to face the Minnesota Swarm at Xcel Energy Center. Gametime is 8:00 p.m. Eastern. The game will not be televised; however fans can watch Iannucci chase history by going to NLL.com and purchasing the pay-per-view webcast via B2 Networks for $7. All NLL games are made available in this manner. Fans can also follow the live game stats tonight at NLL.com.
Not to be lost in the excitement of the potential record-setting goal is the significance of tonight's game in the East Division standings. With last night's win, Philadelphia improves it record to 9-4, and moves a half game ahead of Minnesota (8-4) for sole possession of first place in the division.
