The Panther City Lacrosse Club (7-8) finishes out their double header weekend with their second matchup of the season against the Philadelphia Wings on Sunday, April 7 at 3:00 p.m. at Dickies Arena.

Panther City lost their first game of the weekend, 14-10, to the San Diego Seals on Friday night.

Offensively for Panther City, 18-year veteran Callum Crawford continues to score at a high pace and was PCLC’s leading scorer Friday night against Buffalo with six points on three goals and three assists. It was his seventh hat trick through 13 games this season. Crawford recorded one power play goal to record his 11th PPG of the season, which tied his career high. For Panther City, the franchise record for power-play goals in a single season was set by Phil Caputo last season when he recorded 12 PPG. Crawford also tied the franchise record for most goals scored in a single season with his 35th goal.
