Return to Blog Home
There’s been plenty of competition for the NLL’s upset of the week these past few days, but I think we have to hand it to the Chicago Shamrox for their last-minute victory over the Rochester Knighthawks 12-11. The Shamrox scored seven goals in the fourth quarter to erase a three goal Rochester lead.
Jonas Derks scored four goals, one of which was the game winner, while Cody Jacobs added three goals and two assists and Jason Clark chipped in with five helpers. Matt Roik stopped 45 of 56 and held the Knighthawks scoreless for the final five minutes while Jacobs and Derks scored the tying goal and the go-ahead. This was Chicago’s second win on the season. John grant had four goals and three assists for the Knighthawks.
