After upsetting top-seeded Calgary last week and beating Minnesota on Saturday, Edmonton secured the franchise's first-ever NLL Champions Cup appearance.
Goaltender Aaron Bold was brilliant in net for the Rush, making 39 saves on 42 shots as Edmonton manhandled the Minnesota Swarm in the National Lacrosse League's West Division final 15-3 on Saturday night.
Edmonton's offence exploded with an 11-goal run during that span, which ran late into the third quarter.
Aaron Wilson led Edmonton with three goals and four assists. Ryan Ward had four goals and three assists.
The Rush will travel to Rochester to face the Knighthawks on May 19. (JSL)
