BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Banditland packed the KeyBank Center on Friday to cheer on the Buffalo Bandits as they faced the Vancouver Warriors in the NLL Semifinals.

"The Bandits are going to win, without a question of a doubt," David O'Brien said.

"We rule, we've won the last two championship years," Mark Schirrmacher said. "It's going to be a third."

Anthony Santana said he's confident the team will pull off a three-peat.

"We're going to get the offense going again," Santana said. "Matt Vinc, 100%. He is going to play like he did last weekend. Game one belongs to the Buffalo Bandits."

The Bandits won 9-3 on Friday, but if they hadn't, fans said their support is unwavering.

"They're a great team. They play hard," Xavier Gutierrez said.

"If they don't win tonight, it'd be a miracle," O'Brien said.

Game 2 of the NLL Semifinals takes place on Sunday in Vancouver. If Game 3 is necessary, the series returns to Buffalo on Saturday, May 10.
