All Lacrosse All The Time – A Division of Edge of Philly Sports Network
The Brooklin Lacrosse Club (1-1) visited the Cobourg Kodiaks (0-3) in Sunday evening MSL action at the Cobourg Community Centre.
With all the disruptions on the MSL, Brooklin hadn’t played a game since the Bread & Cheese Game of May 23rd. Cobourg had faced Peterborough in their last two games, both times showing great potential but falling just a bit short.
The goaltending match-up had Riley Hutchcraft in net for Brooklin against Kevin Orleman in net for Cobourg.
From late in the first period to early in the third period Brooklin scored 12 of 14 goals in the game to break it wide open. Cobourg tried to claw back, but the hole was just too deep. Brooklin ran away with the game 16-8.
To The Game:
Cam Milligan opened the scoring for the Kodiaks converting a pass from Luke Laskiewicz, but was answered back by Connor Kearnan finishing off a Dyson Williams pass at 5:23. Dyson Williams beat Kevin Orleman unassisted at 9:07, but Ben French scored unassisted for Cobourg at 12:56. Ryan Lanchbury gave Brooklin the lead once more when he fired a Brady Kearnan pass in at 16:28.
After one period, Brooklin 3 Cobourg 2.
Second Period:
Dyson Williams opened the second period scoring with his second and third goals of the game. His first was off an Austin Murphy pass at just 0:46 seconds, followed by converting a Kyle Waters pass at 3:39. Connor Kearnan added to the Brooklin lead scoring on the power play at 5:28. Aaron Woods got one back for the Kodiaks at 11:28, but goals from Dyson Williams, followed by Luke Pilcher blew the game wide open. Brooklin kept pouring it on with Sean Westley scoring shorthanded off a Brady Kearnan pass, followed by Dyson Williams with his fifth of the game at 13:10. Kyle Waters converted a Sean Westley pass at 15:05, followed by Dyson Williams’ sixth goal at 18:36 on the power play.
