Wings-Titans game postponed
The National Lacrosse League has announced that Saturday's
scheduled game between the Philadelphia Wings and Orlando
Titans at the Wachovia Center has been postponed by the
league as a result of the pending winter storm for the Philadelphia
area. The rescheduling of the game will be announced at a
later date.
Both teams are scheduled to play on the road Friday evening and the
Saturday flights for both teams to Philadelphia have
already been cancelled by their respective airlines due to the
pending winter storm, leaving no other alternative travel
options. The Wings are playing at Toronto Friday while the
Titans are at Colorado. Those games will be played as
scheduled.
