SAN DIEGO — For the first time in 16 years, the Colorado Mammoth will be playing for a championship.
Colorado clinched its first National Lacrosse League (NLL) Finals berth since 2006 on Saturday night with a dramatic comeback victory.
The Mammoth completed a come-from-behind win over the San Diego Seals at Pechanga Arena, 15-13, in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals to punch their ticket to the NLL Finals.

The Mammoth will face the Buffalo Bandits for the NLL championship -- the same team they beat in 2006 to win their first title in program history.
The NLL Finals are a best-of-three game series that will begin in Buffalo for Game 1 on Saturday, June 4 before shifting to Denver for Game 2 on June 11 at Ball Arena.
