The Cobourg Kodiaks (1-6) visited the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena in Hagersville, Ontario to face the Six Nations Chiefs (5-1-1) in Tuesday night Major Series Lacrosse action.
The Kodiaks had been struggling mightily this year, and were hoping to have a better showing in this game. The combination of a big strong defense of the Chiefs, Solid goaltending, as well as a well balanced attack was too much for Cobourg on this night. The Kodiaks fell 8-4 to Six Nations.
To The Game:
The Kodiaks showed enthusiasm to start the game, matching the Chiefs step for step for the majority of the first period.
Joey Cupido opened the scoring in transition for the Chiefs, scoring unassisted at 8:14. Vaughn Harris increased the lead converting a Brendan Bomberry pass at 18:12.
After one period, Chiefs 2 Kodiaks 0.
Second Period:
The Chiefs started to pull away when Sam LeClair finished an Eric Fannell pass at 3:12, followed by Marshall Powless converting a Sam LeClair pass at 4:56. Brendan Bomberry scored off a Vaughn Harris feed at 7:51 to make the score 5-0.
Cobourg finally was able to beat Doug Jamieson (Chiefs goalie) when Curtis Conley scored off a long lead pass from Steven Orleman (Kodiaks goalie) shorthanded at 8:37.
Six Nations scored once more with just 0:09 seconds left in the period. Eric Fannell converted a Brendan Bomberry pass to restore the five goal lead.
After two periods, Six Nations 6 Cobourg 1.
Third Period:

Woods himself scored for the Kodiaks with just 0:10 seconds left, but it was too little too late.
