Philadelphia wins second straight MLL title

The Philadelphia Barrage overcame a furious second-half rush from the Los Angeles Riptide to become the first franchise to win consecutive Major League Lacrosse titles with their 16-13 victory on Sunday.

Having won the inaugural MLL crown in 2004, the victory marks Philadelphia's third championship overall, and solidifies its place as the league's dominant franchise.

Los Angeles took a brief fourth-quarter lead after falling behind 9-6 at halftime, but Philadelphia ended the game with four consecutive goals to seal the win.
