If anyone of sane mind had any doubt that Jeff Teat would be Rookie of the Year in the National Lacrosse League, those doubts should be erased

The decision locks up the number two draft pick for Rochester.

Teat kept his magic going by setting up Ron John (1g2a) with Teat making it four helpers off a second from Fox to end the first.
Second
