Edmonton Rush News Release
Edmonton, AB---For the second time in three seasons, the Edmonton Rush are only one win away from playing for their first National Lacrosse League Champion's Cup as they meet the Minnesota Swarm in the West Division Final.
Both the Rush and Swarm are coming off stunning upsets in their respective West Semifinals last weekend. The Rush knocked off the Calgary Roughnecks - the same team they surprisingly eliminated in the 2010 playoffs - with a 19-11 victory on the road, while the Swarm upended the Colorado Mammoth 14-10 in Denver. The victories by Edmonton and Minnesota eliminated the two best teams during the 2011 NLL regular season, and leaves the Rush and Swarm to battle for the division title and the right to meet the East Division Final winner between Toronto and Rochester for the Champion's Cup.
The game will be broadcasted on the CBS Sports Network. CBS Sports Network is available in Canada on Rogers, Cogeco, Bell Express Vue (HD channel 1432, SD channel 413), Eastlink, Sasktel & BellAliant TV. Please note: www.nll.com Network will not be broadcasting the NLL West Divisional Final.
