(Denver, CO = Won Jeong) The Colorado Mammoth hosted the Philadelphia Wings for a regular season NLL match at their home arena.

On the 12th local time, the game held at Ball Arena in Colorado ended with a score of 16-12, resulting in a loss for the Mammoth in their final home game of the season.

The Wings quickly gained momentum, scoring 5 goals in the 1st quarter alone, leaving Colorado trailing.

Colorado struggled early in the game, conceding 5 points in the 1st quarter and 2 in the 2nd, ending the first half with a score of 7-3, a significant point difference.

However, in the following 3rd quarter, Colorado rallied.

Scoring 5 points in the 3rd quarter alone, Colorado brought the Ball Arena to a frenzy.

Zed Williams made significant contributions to the team with 2 points in the 2nd quarter and 1 in the 3rd, showcasing his skills as an attacker by effectively overpowering the opposing defense and hunting for goals.

Despite efforts to make a comeback in the final moments of the game, Colorado’s early deficit proved too much to overcome.

Eli McLaughlin’s impressive performance, scoring 3 goals in the last 5 minutes of the game, wasn’t enough to secure a win for Colorado, resulting in a final score of 16-12, a 4-point difference.

Although the team suffered a loss, the performances of attackers Connor Kelly and defender Jalen Chaster stood out.

With this defeat, Colorado’s season record stands at 5 wins and 10 losses.

Colorado is set to face the Las Vegas Desert Dogs at the MICHELOB ULTRA ARENA tomorrow.
