It took a full 60 minutes and then some to crown the Calgary Roughnecks champions of the 2018-19 National Lacrosse League season.

Rhys Duch scored the winning goal 1:12 into overtime Saturday night to lift the host Roughnecks to their third title in franchise history.

The long-distance shot to beat Buffalo Bandits goalkeeper Matt Vinc on the short side lifted the hosts to the nerve-wracking 14-13 Game 2 victory in front of 17,038 fans at the Saddledome.

The goal set off a celebration of player dogpiles on the floor and champion chants from a delirious crowd filling the Rough House.

“The roof almost blew off this place,” said Dane Dobbie, who was named the series MVP and will likely be named the season’s MVP for a sensational campaign. “It’s just unbelievable to play in front of. It’s something you dream of when you’re a kid.

“You want to be that overtime game and get that opportunity to win,” Dobbie continued. “You used to play it in your backyard. I remember taking shots in your backyard trying to get that game-winner. And we did it. This is what we live for. This is just a fantastic feeling.”
