The Colorado Mammoth wrapped up a disappointing season with a 11-10 loss Friday to the Calgary Roughnecks despite 47 saves from goalie Chris Levis.
The Roughnecks clinched a first-round home game for the National Lacrosse League playoffs, while the Mammoth close out their first season without a playoff berth in the franchise’s eight years.
In front of 15,727 fans at the Pepsi Center, the Mammoth rallied from a two-goal deficit to tie the game on goals by Jamie Shewchuk and Jed Prossner with 43 seconds left. But Calgary managed to scoop up a rebound, with Chris Ranger stuffing home the game-winning goal with just 16 seconds left. A final shot for the Mammoth ringed off the pipe, handing Colorado its eighth straight home loss of the season.
