Roughnecks rally, win this time in OT behind Cornwall's winner NLL
“It’s huge for this group,” said Cornwall, moments after his fourth goal of the season pushed the club to a 4-3 record in the National Lacrosse League. “We’ve been in a handful of games now where we start off behind and we battle back and make it close. Like in that case last week, where we pushed it to overtime, we didn’t get the result we wanted — didn’t get the result we felt we deserved after building all that momentum.
The 31-year-old veteran did just that, scooping up the loose ball, turning on his jets the best he could and boxing out the T’birds defender while driving to the net before scoring between the legs of goaltender Warren Hill.Article content At 8-5 to start the third quarter, it was Currier back at it again with another timely goal in transition in tight to beat Hill.
Cornwall proved just as clutch, scoring his second buzzer-beater in as many games, when — just 58 seconds after Currier’s turn of the hat-trick — he intercepted a pass with the T’birds owning last possession of the quarter and having pulled their goalie and fired it nearly the length of the floor into an empty net.Article content
And just as they did in rallying late against the Rock, the Riggers refused to go away. They followed the lead of backstop Del Bianco, who shut the door on the T’birds, played strong defensively and got timely goals from Tanner Cook — with 7:09 left in the quarter — and Taylor — on their last possession of regulation — to force OT.
