March 13, 2010 - National Lacrosse League (NLL)
Philadelphia Wings News Release


PHILADELPHIA, PA - The Philadelphia Wings (3-8) put up a season high 20 goals to snap the Minnesota Swarm (4-5) win streak at three games. Kyle Wails and Dan Teat had 10 points (4G, 6A) each and Drew Westervelt added nine points (3G, 6A) in the victory. The Wings will return home to Wachovia Center Saturday, March 27 at 7 p.m. to take on the Boston Blazers.

Philadelphia took an early 3-1 lead on two Wails goals, but Minnesota stormed back to tie the game at four at the end of the first quarter. The Wings three top scorers all added goals in the second quarter to give the Wings a slight edge going into the half, 8-7.

Assistant Captain Geoff Snider opened the scoring flood gates with his tally at 3:43 of the third quarter. Philadelphia went on to score seven straight goals including two from Ridley, PA native Bill McGlone. Wings Goaltender Brandon Miller was also on his game stopping all 10 shots faced to give the team a commanding 15-7 lead going into the fourth quarter.

In a last ditch effort to come back Minnesota began to pull their goaltender in the fourth quarter which helped the Swarm score three straight, but Philadelphia continued to overpower their West Division foe. The game was capped at the 14 minute mark when Snider was taken down on a breakaway attempt yet still managed to beat the Swarm goaltender from his back with incredible stick skills.
