18 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday,May 4, 2010 SPORTS & LEISURE Bulldogs shake off slow starts in victories It took a while to shake off the bus legs before the Halton Hills Bulldogs ran away with a pair of road victories over the weekend in Ontario Lacrosse Association Jr. B action. The Bulldogs improved to 3-0-0 by defeating the Akwesasne Indians 8-4 Saturday night and the Kahnawake Hunters 12-3 Sunday afternoon on their annual weekend trip to eastern Ontario. Nic Grasby led the charge against Kahnawake with three goals and four assists, while rookie Jordan Dance also notched a hat trick. Shane Scott (2), Connor Sellars, Tyler Ferreira, Kody Lyons and Jake Harding also contributed to the Halton Hills offence, which struck for five goals in 87 seconds late in the first period after trailing 3-1. Bulldog goalie Ryan Kelly didn't allow a goal through the final 40 minutes and his teammates have outscored the opposition 9-1 in the third period of their first three outings. On Saturday, Grasby and Michael Licata had two goals each, with singles added by Dance, Russell Peacock, Ferreira and Scott as Dustin Hanzelka earned the win in goal. The teams were tied 3-3 after two periods of play. The 'Dogs will take on the 1-2-0 Gloucester Griffins this Saturday in their home opener at the Alcott Arena beginning at 7:30 p.m. Fish out of water?

The local club competed at the Swim Ontario Division II team championships at Laurentian University in Sudbury late last month and thanks to a tidal wave of top-10 finishes, have moved up to the first tier of organizations in the province. After advancing from Division III rankings in 2009 to graduate to Division II level in 2010, the Blue Fins earned a Division I berth in Brantford and were narrowly edged out of first place by the Sudbury Swim Club. Gold-medal performances included multiple event wins by Bjoern-Ole Schrader, Matt Fox, Mitchell Krafczek, Keri-Lyn Copeland, Tessa Cieplucha and Kyle Haas. Relay victories included the boys' 11-12 200m freestyle (Bjoern-Ole Schrader, Nolan Haas, Quinn Jaggard, Matt Fox); boys' 13-14 200m freestyle (Mitchell Krafczek, AJ Tarczy, Ryan Smith, Kyle Haas); and boys' 13-14 200m medley (Mitchell Krafczek, Kyle Haas, Bjoern-Ole Schrader, Ryan Smith).
