Austin Staats’ goal on a beautiful behind-the-back pass from veteran Dane Dobbie 3:22 into overtime gave the San Diego Seals a 10-9 win over the Panther City Lacrosse Club on Friday night at the Dickies Arena in Ft. Worth, Texas. The game-winner was Staats’ third goal of the night.

The Seals had to rally from behind to get the game into overtime.

Down 7-4 late in the third period, the Seals took advantage of a five-minute major power play after Panther City’s Brent Mitchell was penalized for a cross-check. Wes Berg and Staats scored 20 seconds apart before Dobbie scored his first of the night 6:57 into the fourth period to tie the game at 7-7. For Dobbie, it was his 528th career goal, moving him past Colin Doyle and into sole possession of sixth place on the NLL’s all-time scoring list.

Panther City’s Callum Crawford broke the 7-7 tie with a goal with 6:37 remaining in the fourth, but the Seals responded with goals from Kyle Jackson and Staats to take their first lead of the game, 9-8. Unfortunately, San Diego couldn’t hang onto the lead as Panther City’s Ryan Sheridan scored with 3:10 left in the fourth to tie the game at 9-9 and send it into overtime, setting up Staats’ and Dobbie’s game-winning heroics.

With the win, the Seals improve to 8-3 on the season, while Panther City falls to 5-5. The Seals will return home from Texas and host the Toronto Rock on March 2 at 7 p.m. at Pechanga Arena.
