BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bandits closed out the regular season with a home matchup against Toronto on Saturday night.
In the final game before the playoffs begin next week, Buffalo led 5-1. But, the Rock would battle back in the second half with two goals within a minute to tie it at 7.
Toronto went on to score six unanswered to hand the Bandits a 10-7 loss. Buffalo has now lost three of its last four games.
Bandits veteran Dhane Smith needed just three points to break the National Lacrosse League season-single record of 137 points that he set back in 2016, but he did not register a point in the loss.
It's not the way the Bandits wanted to head into the playoffs, but the good news is that they will have home-field advantage when they go for their first title since 2008.
The postseason begins next week with the first round matchup yet to be determined.
