May 3rd, 2008

New York Titans vs. Minnesota Swarm in playoff action at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota in front of 11,000+ fans.

In the two earlier meetings during the season Minnesota won both of them, but the upstart Titans were looking for the upset.

The Titans had a powerful offense with Casey Powell, Jordan Hall, Pat Maddalena, Jeff Ratcliffe, and Patrick Merrill.

Minnesota countered with Andy Secore, Ryan Ward, Craig Point, Chad Culp, and Sean Pollack on offense.

The goalie match-up was Nick Patterson for the Swarm against Matt Vinc in net for the Titans.

This was a nail-biter throughout the night!

Sit back, relax and enjoy this game in it’s entirety!
