San Diego Seals News Release
The San Diego Seals fell to the Saskatchewan Rush 16-11 on Friday night at Pechanga Arena San Diego.
This is the team's first loss on home turf this season.
The Seals struggled to find their footing early on. Forward Dane Dobbie got things started for the Seals with four goals in the first half, but the team was still unable to secure a lead over the Rush throughout the duration of the game.
