The Cobourg Kodiaks (1-9) faced the Brooklin Lacrosse Club (4-4-1) at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre in Whitby, Ontario on Wednesday night in Major Series Lacrosse action.

In what has become the norm, the Cobourg Kodiaks started out strong, but weren’t able to sustain, falling short to the Brooklin squad 10-5. Ryan Lanchbury (2g,6a), Dyson Williams (3g,1a), and Zach Sunderland (2g,2a) led the way for Brooklin.  Alex Simmons (2g,0a) and Kealan Pilon (0g, 3a) were the leaders for Cobourg on this night.

After one period, Brooklin 3 Cobourg 2.

Second Period:

Payton Cormier scored his second of the night at 2:55.  Cam Milligan answered back for the Kodiaks finishing off a Kealan Pilon pass at 3:54, but that would be it for Cobourg’s offense in this period.
