Wings vs Mammoth In-Game

Philadelphia, PA--  The Colorado Mammoth are in the City of Brotherly Love tonight for some great NLL action.  The Wings enter the game with a record of 1-1, while the Mammoth post a 1-2 record.  The Mammoth recently went through some front office changes as they decided to part ways with their coach.  Bob McMahon was relieved of his head coaching responsibilities after going 0-2.  Mammoth President and GM Steve Govett will be filling the role as of now.  The move has paid off as the Mammoth won their last game.  The Wings post a healthy line up of MLL and collegiate stars.  Brandon Miller will be in the goal tonight for the Wings.  He has been the staple of this team for a while.  The Wings have 20 goals for in two games, while the Mammoth have given up 30 goals.
