Six Nations strikes first

July 23rd, 2008 by Bob Chavez

If you can make your opponent pick a poison, your odds of winning fly right off the charts. And that’s exactly what Six Nations did Tuesday night, getting four points from three different players to notch an 11-10 victory over St. Regis in the opening game of the Major Series Lacrosse playoff series.

Cory Bomberry (2 goals, 2 assists), Dean Hill (1-3) and Cody Jacobs (1-3) led the way for the Chiefs, who beat the Indians for the first time this season when it counts most. Delby Powless and Roger Vyse each added a pair of goals for Six Nations, which takes a 1-0 series lead into tonight’s Game 2 at 7 p.m. at St. Regis. And while a one-goal loss isn’t reason to panic, the Indians were put on notice that they’re gonna need more than MSL regular season scoring champ John Tavares and Mark Steenhuis to keep from falling into a 0-2 hole in this series. Also tonight, the Brooklin vs. Kitchener-Waterloo series kicks off with Game 1 at 8 p.m. in Brooklin.
