Coming off the win last Saturday in Boston, the Pride will once again face the Cannons on Saturday night at Yurcak Field. The game will begin at 7:30 pm. Boston brings one of the most dynamic players in the game to town as Mikey Powell leads the Cannons on and off the field. Fans will get a chance to see Powell's ankle-breaking speed in New Jersey for the first time of his professional career. Can't make the game? Fans can listen to the game on NJIR.net with Joe Nolan and Keith Glock. The broadcast will begin at 7:00 pm with the Pre-Game Show.
NEW JERSEY'S DEFENSE PUSHES TEAM TO WIN IN BOSTON
In Major League Lacrosse it is not often that 13 goals will get you a win, but when your defense can hold the opponent to 10 goals your prospects for a "W" are great. That is what happened last Saturday in Boston as the Pride, behind the work of Goalie Rob Scherr defeated the Cannons 13-10. The Pride were paced offensively by Conor Ford's 5 goals.
