Rochester Knighthawks break out against Philadelphia Wings 20-12

March 30th, 2008 by Lauren Ward

Seven minutes into the first quarter at the Blue Cross Arena last night the Philadelphia Wings scored two goals in nine seconds to take a 3-2 lead over the Rochester Knighthawks. That would be the first and only lead for the Wings, as the Knighthawks powered their way to a 20-12 win.

After dropping two consecutive games to the teams with the worst records in the league, the Knighthawks bounced back against the first-place Wings to keep their playoff hopes alive. John Grant had four goals and four assists, Ken Millin added three and four, and Scott Evans had two and five. Geoff Snider and Jake Bergey each had five points for the Wings.

The Wings — who have lost three of their last four and have given up at least 20 goals in each loss — will stay the sole occupants of first-place thanks to a Swarm loss in Chicago.
