The Bandettes at the Bandits-Mammoth Game

The game itself was nothing to write home about unless you like reading about collapses as the Bandits, after jumping out to a 3-0 lead, fell apart in route to a 12-6 defeat at the hands of the Colorado Mammoth.
Thankfully, that's not what this Blog is about as our focus is on the beautiful young women dancing for the team, the Buffalo Bandettes, long-recognized as one of the top squads in the NLL.
To start the evening, the Bandettes were hard at work selling autographed lacrosse balls to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Buffalo Bandettes.

LB, Stephanie, and Cheri

After getting a ball from LB (NLL Transition Player of The Week Jay Thorimbert, BTW), I snapped a few photos of the girls on the lower level selling lacrosse balls as well as Stephanie and Brianna A, who were hard at work selling lineup sheets to fans coming into the game. 

Amanda C and Lauren K

After that, it was up to the 100 level where the rest of the squad was hard at work selling their lacrosse balls. A lot of the purchases were made on the lower level so Amanda C and Lauren K stationed themselves where fans coming in direct from the parking ramp would see them first, proving that they have brains in addition to beauty.

Chrissy, Danielle, and Chelsea

Eventually, it was gametime, and with Chrissy back in action after being out of town last week, the Bandettes put on some stellar performances including a new one at halftime sporting some sparkled-out baseball caps.

Next up for the Bandettes, after go to Colorado next weekend to try to get some revenge, they're back at First Niagara Center on March 23rd as the Bandits play host to the Edmonton Rush, a team that hasn't played in Buffalo in several years.
