Seals set to tangle with the undefeated Georgia Swarm
The San Diego Seals (2-1) will be back inside Pechanga Arena, aka “The Electric Factory,” this Saturday night (Dec. 21) when they face the undefeated Georgia Swarm (2-0) for the second time in 14 days. Faceoff is set for 7 p.m. PT.
Pechanga Arena has become one of the toughest arenas to play in for opposing teams in the National Lacrosse League. The Seals have won their last five regular-season home games and since the start of the 2022-23 season, they are 17-3 during the regular season in games played at Pechanga.
San Diego will have revenge on its mind as it was the Swarm that handed the Seals the only blemish on their record this season, a 13-12 overtime win at the Gas South Arena in Duluth on Dec. 7. The Seals victories have both come at home against Philadelphia (18-15) and Colorado (14-11). Georgia’s other win meanwhile came at home against Toronto (10-9) this past Saturday night in Duluth.
