Wings to enter playoffs on sour note

By Tom Hoffman

When the Philadelphia Wings were 7-4, first place and a home playoff game seemed to be more than attainable.  After tonight's 9-7 loss to the Rochester Knighthawks, their fifth overall and ninth straight against Rochester, first place is out and so is a home game in the first round.  The Wings will limp into the postseason with a return trip to Blue Cross Arena on Friday night (May 4) and look to forget their horrid finish to the National Lacrosse League's 2012 regular season.

The Wings briefly led at 3-2 and were tied at four early in the second half but could never regain the lead.  Brendan Mundorf led the Wings with four goals and three assists.
