The New York Titans of the National Lacrosse League take on the Buffalo Bandits on Saturday, March 17 at 12:30PM. The Titans' St. Patrick's Day game marks the team's final game at the Garden for the 2007 season.
The Titans are looking to avenge their 16-14 loss to Buffalo on January 12 at the Bandits' season home opener in HSBC Arena. Since that game, Titans forward Casey Powell, Bandits forward John Tavares, as well as Rochester forward John Grant, have been wrestling for the top spot in the NLL in points. Grant is the league's current leader in points with 70, Tavares is second with 69 and Powell is not far behind with 66.
The team is beginning to click on all cylinders after the Titans' 13-10 upset win over the five-time NLL Champion Toronto Rock on Saturday, March 3rd, the Titans' last game before the All-Star break. Titans forward Brendan Mundorf earned NLL Rookie of the Week honors for Week Ten for his five point (3 goals, 2 assists) performance in that win at the Garden.
The Titans return from the NLL All-Star break after sending two players to Saturday's All-Star Game at the Rose Garden in Portland. Titans Captain Casey Powell and Assistant Captain Ryan Boyle were critical players in the East's 20-16 victory over the West. Powell scored two goals and dished two assists and Boyle dished four assists in the win. Powell also was the Eastern Division winner of the All-Star Skills Competition for Best Trick.

At the Titans' St. Patty's Day game at the Garden, the team will feature for their half-time entertainment Irish rock band Black 47.
