The Washington Stealth took on the Edmonton Rush in the NLL Western Division Finals on Saturday night at Key Arena in a dramatic and hard fought contest. Trailing for practically the entire game, the Rush tied up the game 11–11 with 20 seconds left in the 4th quarter. The stunned Stealth fans didn’t anticipate overtime. At the ensuing faceoff, Paul Rabil picked up a loose ball and ran full speed toward the Edmonton goal.
