The Georgia Swarm have a chance to claim the National Lacrosse League’s Champion’s Cup on Saturday night at the Saskatchewan Rush’s SaskTel Centre.

Saturday’s game is scheduled to begin at 9:30 p.m. at Saskatchewan’s SaskTel Centre and can be streamed at NLL.Twitter.com.

“I think any game playing in Saskatchewan against the Rush in front of 15,000 people is going to be a hard game,” Swarm coach Ed Comeau said, according to the Swarm. “Knowing what’s at stake for both us and them, the intensity is going to be extremely high, and the stakes are up for both teams … We’re going to go and try and do what we do and play Swarm lacrosse.”

The Swarm won the first game in the best-of-three series on Sunday 18-14 at Atlanta’s Infinite Energy Arena. The 18 goals the Swarm scored on Sunday are the most in any Champion’s Cup game since 2005.

If the Rush take Game 2, Game 3 will be played on June 18 at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Field at Duluth’s Infinite Energy Arena at 5:05 p.m.
