They scored first, but not last.
In a rematch of the NLL Championship, Saskatchewan rolled into KeyBank Center and handed Buffalo a 17-14 loss Saturday night.

The Bandits opened the scoring a minute into the game with a goal from Dhane Smith. Ryan Benesch added a tally less than a minute later to give the home squad the early 2-0 lead.
However, the Rush answered with four straight goals, which came in the next two minutes that followed.

Trailing 14-12 in the 4th, Buffalo pulled to within one on a mesmerizing goal from Nick Weiss, who dove over the back of the goalie to tuck home a goal underneath the crossbar, but that would be as close as they'd get.
Buffalo is now 5-8 on the season.
?How are @miawgordon & @TysonLW going to pick for #Versus!? Look at @NLLBandits' insane goal from Nick Weiss!! ? ?@ https://t.co/5PWlxpLHCv pic.twitter.com/Gq0xnPKIWw
