An impressive win by the New England Blackwolves over the defending champion Saskatchewan Rush at home kicked-off Week 3 of the NLL. Even though the Rush has won three of the last four NLL championships, the Black Wolves showed no fear as they took on the reigning champs. New England head coach Glenn Clark talked about the team’s mentality after their win:
“We think we have a team that can compete with the best teams in the league.”
