Game Notes
- Career high for Crepinsek in goals (2) and ties career high in points (2)
- Houtby also had a career high with two assists and three points to go along with his first ever NLL and Swarm goal
- Jackson's four goals is a regular season career high for him. He had four in the 2013 playoff game against Toronto.
After Three Games:
- 2014 - 2g 2a 4pts
- 2015 - 9g 9a 18pts
- Sam Bradman had his first NLL and Swarm point on an assist on MacIntosh's goal in the second quarter to tie the score at seven
- Crawford is the first Swarm player to reach 150 Swarm regular season goals
- MacIntosh reached 100 assists in his NLL & Swarm career
- The Swarm are the only team in the NLL with neither goaltender having played at least one hundred minutes this season after week 4 of NLL action. Teams either have played 3 or 4 games at this time.
- According to Inside Lacrosse We Trust article posted above, David Earl left the game early possibly due to a shoulder injury.
- Kevin Buchanan scored five goals once in 2009 for the Swarm and tonight he scores five against the Swarm
- With Tye Belanger finishing the game in relief of Evan Kirk, it is the first time since April 13, 2013 that the opponent's starting goaltender has not finished the game. That game was against the Colorado which Belanger actually started for the Mammoth and Kirk did not play as a back up to Tyler Carlson.
