It was the first win the Lakers got over the Chiefs this season though the latter has a 3-1 record over Peterborough this year. The Lakers had a season-record attendance of 2,842 cheering fans.
Taite Cattoni and Shawn Evans scored in the 10-minute overtime period to seal the Lakers’ victory and bump them to 12 points in the standings.
Evans was named the player of the game with a goal and seven assists.
Doug Buchan was named the defensive player of the game, making 49 saves for the Lakers and allowed only two goals in the last 34 minutes of the game.
“Guys are back and getting some chemistry,“ said Buchan. “It was a good win here. The crowd was rocking and hopefully we can carry some momentum into Brooklin next week.”
Vaughn Harris led Six Nations with four goals and one assist while Austin Staats scored three times and added four assists. Goaltender Warren Hill made 45 saves for Six Nations.
The Lakers head to Iroquois Park Sports Centre in Whitby on Wednesday to begin a home-and-home series with the Brooklin Lacrosse Club. Brooklin comes to town this Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Memorial Centre to finish the back-to-back games.
