Mark Matthews scored five goals Friday, and added three assists to boost the Edmonton Rush past the Toronto Rock 11-10 and to talk the National Lacrosse League's Champion's Cup Friday Night.

The Rush swept the first-ever NLL final between two Canadian teams in Game 2 of the best-of-three final.

Robert Church had a pair of goals while Jeff Cornwall, Zack Greer, Ben McIntosh and Matthew Dinsdale also scored for the Rush.

The first quarter proved to be a defensive struggle, as Toronto emerged with a 2-1 lead on goals by captain Sanderson and Hellyer on Rush goalie Aaron Bold. The Rush responded with a goal by Cornwall on Rock starter Brandon Miller.

The Rush had a late surge in the second to take a 5-4 lead into the half as Matthews scored a pair of goals, including one with just 0.1 seconds remaining on the clock.

This was the Rush's first NLL championship win.
