Back in the Day

Old-school CrosseFire

January 22nd, 2008 by Bob Chavez

Before the Mammoth were the Mammoth, they were the Power and before that, they were the CrosseFire.

Lacrosse in Pittsburgh? You bet. Head back to 2000 and the Y2K scare was nothing when you break down the CrosseFire’s one season in the NLL. With Lucifer prominently displayed as the team’s mascot, perhaps it’s not surprising that the team won 6 games, lost 6 games and finished in 6th place.

6-6-6. Coincidence? Who knows. But if you watch this 6-minute clip against the Knighthawks long enough, you’ll get past the empty seats to the healthy co-ed who encouraged Pittsburgh goals by removing clothing, one piece at a time.
