ALBANY, NY. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Bandits closed out their regular season with a 16-10 road win over the Albany Firewolves this evening. The victory seals the top-overall seed for Buffalo in next week's NLL playoffs.
Buffalo saw their early lead dwindle in the second quarter. But about mid-way through, Chase Fraser, Josh Byrne and the Bandits' leading scorer Chris Cloutier all scored to put Buffalo ahead 9-6 at halftime.
From there they never surrendered momentum, outscoring the Firewolves seven to four in the second half on their way to a big end of the regular season win.
Up next for Buffalo, a rivalry showdown against Rochester in the NLL quarterfinals. That game set for Saturday May 6th at 7:00 p.m. est. from Banditland (KeyBank Center).
