Team Blair and Team Dirka eke out victories to close up the standings heading in to the last 3 weeks of the regular season…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the early game both teams had full benches and all of their big guns ready to play. In the 1st, Team Blair scored early and added 2 more while Team Lia, despite lots of chances,\u00a0 was only able to beat Gord once – 1st period ending with Team Blair up 3-1. In the 2nd the results were reversed with Team Lia finding their scoring touch with 3 goals and clamping down on defense allowing only a single marker. The 2nd period ended with the teams tied 4-4. In the 3rd, Team Blair scored twice while only allowing 1 despite intense late game pressure from Team Lia. Final score Team Blair 6 – Team Lia 5 in a fast, hard fought struggle – one of the better games of the Summer 2017 season …so far.<\/p>\n
In the late game, both teams were missing some of their top scorers but enough talent was there to put up a pretty good struggle. In the 1st, Team Jacquie got to Gord early while keeping Team Dirka’s scorers in check, exiting the period with Team Jacquie leading 4-2. In the 2nd Team Dirka determined that shooting low was a pretty good strategy and put a couple of goals under G2’s stick and outscored Team Jacquie 4-0, entering the 2nd intermission, leading 6-4. In the 3rd, Team Jacquie quickly tied things up with a couple of goals but then the teams exchanged goals\u00a0 before Team Dirka pulled ahead with a tenuous 2 goal margin late in the game. Some titanic faceoff struggles and a nice faceoff win and clear break to the net for an uncontested goal by RobA brought Team Jacquie to within a single goal but time ran out before they were able to tie it up. Good game with emotions running a bit hot at times – its what lacrosse is about in the hot, dog days of Summer 2017.<\/p>\n
