Wings earn first win of season with strong second half

By Tom Hoffman

The Philadelphia Wings used an 8-3 second half to earn their first win of the 2011 National Lacrosse League season as they defeated the Colorado Mammoth 11-10 Saturday night at Pepsi Center. The game started out badly for the Wings who trailed 4-0 early in the game and were down 7-3 at halftime.

Max Seibald was the scoring star for the Wings with a three goal night. Paul Dawson added two goals, including the game winner with 90 seconds remaining in regulation. Brandon Miller was, once again, solid in net for Philadelphia with a 41 save performance.

The Wings now get ready for their first weekend of back to back games. They will travel to Boston to face the Blazers on Friday before returning to the Wells Fargo Center for a rematch with the Mammoth.
