Saskatchewan Rush win back-to-back NLL Championships
Jeff Cornwall had been preparing his entire career for a moment when he may be called on to score.
It doesn’t happen often for defencemen like him, but in Saskatoon Saturday night, with the Championship on the line, his moment arrived.
“Ultimately that’s something I practice quite often and when I had the chance in front of me I knew exactly what I wanted to do,” Cornwall said. “I wanted to come up big for my teammates.”
There were just 12 seconds of regulation time left on the clock when Cornwall scored, beating the Buffalo Bandits 11-10 and sealing the sweep.
