Manns standout 2nd half has undefeated Saskatchewan Rush rolling into Rochester [Video]

Trailing 7-2 late in the third quarter on Saturday, Zach Manns was able to receive a pass from Mike Messenger and scored to get on the board for the Saskatchewan Rush.

Remarkably, around 25 minutes later, he’d score one of the most memorable goals of his lacrosse career in overtime to guarantee victory for the Rush on their home floor.

“That was probably the best, honestly,” said Manns. “I don’t think I’ve scored an OT winner, maybe ever in my life in box lacrosse. That was certainly a special one.”

Manns is coming off a career night against the Halifax Thunderbirds, scoring six of his team’s seven goals in the second half including a run of five-straight goals in the fourth quarter in under five minutes as part of a 9-8 OT victory.

It was a night made even more impressive following the loss of superstar Robert Church, who received a cross-check between whistles and left the game in the third quarter.
