Arena Lacrosse League East Weekly Game Recaps - Week 6

The Arena Lacrosse League East had four exciting games this week on the schedule. 

Saturday at the Children's Arena in Oshawa, Ontario 

Early Game

Whitby Steelhawks 11  Oshawa Outlaws 9

In a game that looked like it was going to go stride for stride, the Whitby Steelhawks used two runs of four goals in the second and fourth quarters to gain the ultimate advantage.  The first run was answered by the Outlaws, led by Luke Laskiewicz's hat-trick.  The second run was in the fourth quarter.  It took a tie game and made it a Steelhawks stranglehold.  Oshawa tried to comeback with a couple of goals, but simply ran out of time.   Both goalies played superb, keeping their teams in the game all afternoon. 

Whitby was led by Nate Woods (3g,2a), Luke Keenan (3g,1a), and Liam Aston (2g,2a), with Devin Pipher (1g,4a) as the playmaker. 

Jake Gilmour (3g,2a) and Luke Laskiewicz (4g,0a) led the way for the Outlaws, with John St. John (1g,4a) as the playmaker. 

The Three Stars:

1. Will Johnston (Whitby)
2. Nate Woods (Whitby)
3. Jake Gilmour (Oshawa)

Late Game 

Toronto Monarchs 10  Peterborough Timbermen 11 in Overtime 

In a game where Peterborough dug themselves and early hole, they spent the rest of the afternoon working getting to back in the game.  Down 6-2, the Timbermen put together a four goal run to tie the game.  These teams matched each other goal for goal the rest of the game.  Regulation time solved nothing, and to overtime we would go.  It didn't take long for Stone Jacobs to beat Sam Haines to the shortside sending the Timbermen to victory. 

Cam Milligan (2g,4a), Jack McAlpine (2g,3a), and Taio McComber (2g,1a) led the Timbermen. 

Tanner Buck (3g 3a), Dawson Battersby (2g,2a), and Lucas Ferreira (2g,0a) led the way for the Monarchs.  Ty Jesso (0g,3a) was the playmaker 

The Three Stars:

1. Ethan Robertson (Peterborough)
2. Sam Haines (Toronto)
3. Tanner Buck (Toronto)

Sunday at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena in Hagersville, Ontario 

Early Game 

Brampton Express 11  Paris RiverWolves 12 in Overtime 

For almost three full quarters, the Brampton Express had control of this game.  Up 9-3 Brampton had bottled up the Paris offense entirely.  Curtis Ward (3g,1a) and Pent Eistrat (2g,0a) led the charge for the Express.  Brampton goalie Dylan Sprentz had frustrated the Paris shooters all afternoon to this point.

Carson Moyer put the RiverWolves on his back scoring four times in the fourth quarter to help Paris put together a six goal run.  Kurtis Woodland was the hero, scoring the game winner 1:11 into overtime converting a Davis Prince pass for the victory. 

Carson Moyer (4g,2a) led the way for Paris, with Davis Prince (3g,2a), Kurtis Woodland (2g,3a), and Kaymen Diabo (2g,2a) for support.  Noah Simonelli (0g,5a) was the playmaker. 

Curtis Ward (3g,1a) and Pent Eistrat (2g,0a) led the Express scoring, with Zach Sunderland (1g,5a) as the playmaker. 

The Three Stars:

Late Game 

Six Nations Snipers 15 Ohsweken Bears 9

The Six Nations Snipers took charge of this game from the very start, scoring five times  in the first quarter with five different scorers, never looking back.   While Ohsweken mounted a comeback in the second quarter scoring four of their own, they never got closer than within two goals.  

The second half saw the Snipers control the majority of the flow of the game.  When Ohsweken did get through, Snipers goalie Dusty Hill was there to make the save.  Six Nations came away with a convincing 15-9 victory. 

The Snipers had a well balanced attack with eleven different scorers on the day.  Briley Maxwell (2g,2a), Colton Armitage (3g,1a), and Kealon Pilon (2g,1a) led the way for the Snipers.  Jeremy Bomberry (1g,4a) was the playmaker. 

For Ohsweken Kyle Pedwell (2g,1a), John Harrington (2g,1a), Josh Sanchez (2g,2a), Steven Portelli (2g,1a), and Thomas Richardson-Bonar (1g,0a ) accounted for the Bears offense.  Chris Attwood (0g,3a) was the playmaker.
