Stealth stings Mammoth.
The Colorado Mammoth has some work to do on offense if its season opener is any indication. The Washington Stealth downed Colorado 17-8 in a National Lacrosse League game in Everett, Wash.
Colorado was blanked in the first quarter and trailed 6-3 at halftime. Jamie Shewchuck had four goals for the Mammoth. Ilja Gajic added two goals.
