Denver–June 16, 2007 –. - Midfielder Colin Doyle scored the game-winning
goal with 6:32 remaining in overtime as the Rochester Rattlers (2-2) won
their second straight game, a 27-26 victory over the Denver Outlaws (2-2)
in the highest scoring game in MLL history at INVESCO Field at Mile High
on Saturday evening.

Doyle, who scored two goals with four assists in the win, converted a pass
from attackman Jeff Zwyicki to end the Rattlers’ five-game road losing
streak, dating back to last season.

The Rattlers jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead in the first eight minutes as
Zwyicki scored three times while Bud Light MVP John Grant, Jr. tallied two
of his team record-tying eight goals during the spurt. After the teams
traded goals twice, the Outlaws scored three quick points to narrow the
margin to 8-5 at the end of the first quarter.

The teams traded goals four times during the second and third quarters
before Denver tallied five unanswered goals to take a 15-13 lead with 4:41
left in the third quarter. Attackman Matt Brown scored three goals during
the spurt, which gave the Outlaws their first lead of the game.

Zwyicki ended the Outlaws’ run with an unassisted goal, but attackman
Brendan Mundorf answered by converting a feed from attackman Mike Law past
goalkeeper Mike Levin, which was followed by a Grant tally to end the
third quarter with Denver holding a slim one-point advantage.

Midfielder Chris Schiller tied the game just six seconds into the fourth
quarter, which was followed by back-to-back two-point goals from Langtry
and attackman Matt Hanna for a four-point advantage. However, the Rattlers
countered by scoring three straight goals, including a two-pointer from
attackman Joe Walters, to tie the game at 22-22.

Led by two goals from Langtry, the Outlaws regained a four-point advantage
with a three-point run with 3:32 left in the fourth quarter. Grant scored
his second two-point tally of the game with 2:19 left, an unassisted
marker past goalkeeper Trevor Tierney, before Zwyicki tied the game
with 1:51 left off a Grant assist.

Rookie attackman Drew Westervelt scored with 54 seconds remaining off a
feed from midfielder Jeff Sonke to give Denver a two-point lead before
Grant tied the game with a two-point goal with 39 seconds left in
regulation.

After Walters hit the crossbar earlier in overtime, Doyle provided the
game-winner to give Rochester its first win on the road since June 3 of
last season at Los Angeles.

single-game record with 14 points, scoring eight goals, including a pair
of two-point tallies, along with four assists. His eight goals tied the
Rochester team record set by Casey Powell during the 2003 season.
Zwyicki scored a career-high six goals and added three assists.

Langtry led the Outlaws in the loss with a team-high five goals, including
a pair of two-point markers, along with an assist while Brown and Mundorf
