| Cody Jamieson had 5 points for Six Nations |
For the fifth time in the last eight
Major Series Lacrosse contests, a game was decided by one goal or in
overtime. Last night it was the Six Nations Chiefs scoring four
straight goals spanning the second and third periods to pull out a
9-8 win over the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks. Colin Doyle
scored 3 goals and 3 assists and Cody Jamieson 2 goals and 3
assists to lead the Chiefs to their fifth win of the season against a
single loss, moving them into first place in the league. Aaron
Wilson (2g, 3a) and Mike Teeter (1g, 4a) each had 5-point
nights to lead the Kodiaks, who fall to 2-4 and sit in fourth place.
KW took a 5-2 lead through the first
half of the first period, but the Chiefs came back with three
straight power-play goals from their left side—one each from Doyle,
Jamieson and Roger Vyse—to tie the game at 5-5 after 20
minutes. The Kodiaks responded with a pair of man-up markers of their
own from Teeter and Jamie Rooney before Six Nations went on their
run.
Rodd Squire, Jr. got it started
at the 12-minute mark, then Doyle and Jamieson connected a minute
apart late in the frame to make it 8-7 after two periods. Doyle
extended the lead to two when he rounded out his hat trick at 3:51 of
the third. That was it for scoring until Teeter connected with goalie
Dillon Ward pulled for an extra attacker with 1:11 to play.
Ward made 41 saves in a losing effort while Evan Kirk made 40
saves to earn the win.
