(NLL) - Former goaltender Pat OToole was voted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame on Tuesday as the lone inductee of the Class of 2013. OToole will become the fifth goaltender and 21st member of the leagues Hall of Fame after the first-time nominee received votes on 100 per cent of the ballots cast by Hall of Fame members and over 78 per cent of the ballots overall. OToole played 16 seasons in the league from 1995-2010, highlighted by 12 years with the Rochester Knighthawks and three seasons with the Buffalo Bandits. The 2003 NLL Goaltender of the Year made 6,464 saves, second-most in league history, in 204 regular season games, which are the 10th-most games played in NLL history. OToole won two championships as a player, first with Buffalo in 1996 when he was named title game MVP, and again with the Knighthawks in 2007. Rochesters all-time franchise leader in wins (102) and saves (5,756), OToole posted a career record of 115-56 with an 11.40 goals against average and .768 save percentage while adding an NLL-record three goals and 136 assists. OToole had a 9-9 record in 23 career playoff games with six Championship Game appearances. The Brampton, Ontario native currently serves as Rochesters goaltending coach and has now won back-to-back championships as a member of the teams coaching staff. OToole was inducted into the Knighthawks Hall of Fame this past March during a pregame ceremony. OToole joins fellow goaltenders Bob Watson and Steve Dietrich as the lone inductees into the Hall of Fame for the third-straight year. The six finalists for the Class of 2013 were selected last month by the leagues Hall of Fame Committee. The other five finalists were first-time nominees Pat McCready and Kaleb Toth, along with three automatically returning from last years ballot in Chris Driscoll, Regy Thorpe and the 1993 Buffalo Bandits. OToole received votes on over 78 per cent of the ballots, followed by both McCready and Toth (48), the 1993 Bandits (42), and both Chris Driscoll and Regy Thorpe (21).

Custom Nike Baseball Jerseys Black Friday . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. LINCOLN, Neb. -- Creightons 90-points-a-game offense didnt show up until late against Nebraska.No problem. The 10th-ranked Bluejays were still more than good enough to beat their in-state rival again.Maurice Watson Jr. scored a season-high 25 points, Cole Huff added 13 and Creighton dominated the second half in a 77-62 victory Wednesday night.We had to win kind of an ugly game, and they were trying to make us play that way, Bluejays coach Greg McDermott said. Thats probably the fewest fast-break points weve had all season. I like to think our pace wears you out over time, and we had a hard time with it.The Bluejays (9-0) have won 15 of 18 meetings with the Cornhuskers (5-4), including the last six by double digits.Tai Webster had 16 points and Ed Morrow had 13 rebounds for the Huskers, who trailed 31-30 at halftime but went scoreless for 6 1/2 minutes in the second half. Creighton bolted to a 51-37 lead, and in the last 3 minutes it was a 21-point game.It makes me disappointed and sick to my stomach we couldnt foster a better fight, Huskers coach Tim Miles said. I thought we were in good shape until Tai picked up his fourth foul, and then we went on a long, long drought.Watson carried the scoring load in the Bluejays first true road game as Nebraska clamped down on Marcus Foster and Justin Patton. Foster had seven points and Patton had nine, both season lows.The Cornhuskers defense left driving lanes open for Watson, and the senior point guard took advantage. He made 10 of 20 shots. Hes never taken more than 21 shots in his career.My teammates kept saying for me to go, go go, and I kind of got comfortable, Watson said.The Huskers shot 32.4 percent overall and were just 3 of 22 on 3-point attempts.We took too many of them, Webster said. Like Coach Milees says: `Love the 2, like the 3.ddddddddddddThats when were at our best.Creightons Toby Hegner dunked with 3 1/2 minutes left, prompting the small contingent of Bluejays fans to chant C-U, C-U as the Nebraska faithful began heading to the exits. Big Red fans who remained booed Davion Mintzs fast-break dunk in the final seconds.The victory allowed Creighton to tie the all-time series 25-25.THE BIG PICTURECreighton: The Bluejays first road trip was a bumpy ride. The flow was choppy, and they couldnt get moving at the speed they like until after the game was decided.Nebraska: The Huskers are not a good offensive team to begin with, and they were worse than that against the Bluejays. You cant be that inept on offense and expect to win, Miles said.PATTON KEPT IN CHECKPatton, the Bluejays 7-foot redshirt freshman, was held under 10 points for the first time in nine games. He did have eight rebounds, three blocked shots and a steal.Its his first time playing in front of a crowd totally against us, and hell learn from it, McDermott said.HE SAID ITIf this doesnt hurt you, nothing does. If youre (home) tonight in another 20 minutes and playing video games until 1 a.m., you dont really care. Youve got to hate losing. Weve got teach them how to win, too. -- Miles.POLL IMPLICATIONSCreighton is No. 10 for the second straight week and is in no danger of dropping in the Top 25 after a convincing win over Nebraska and a near gimme at home on Friday against Longwood.UP NEXTCreighton hosts Longwood on Friday.Nebraska visits No. 3 Kansas on Saturday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .
