12 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday,May 18, 2010 SPORTS & LEISURE Bulldogs push mark to 7-0 By EAMONN MAHER Staff Writer With a 7-0-0 start to the season, the Halton Hills Bulldogs face their toughest test so far this Thursday when they travel to Mimico to take on the Mountaineers beginning at 8 p.m. The Bulldogs chalked up three more wins last week against some of the weaker teams in the Ontario Lacrosse Association Jr. B Eastern Conference, downing winless Toronto Beaches 7-5 Thursday, beating guest Nepean 11-3 Saturday and defeating the host Orillia Rama Kings 9-3 Sunday night. Against the Beaches, Halton Hills outshot its opponents 63-28 but had trouble finding the net, although Nic Grasby and Michael Licata had two goals each. Seth Laidlaw, Ethan O'Connor and Shane Scott also tallied. Lightning-quick Licata added three more goals in the pasting of Nepean Saturday, with rookie Leland de Langley chipping in a pair. Jordan Dance, Peter Laidlaw, Grasby, Kody Lyons, O'Connor and Scott had single markers. The visiting Dogs led 5-0 after the first period Sunday in Orillia and were never in trouble, as Scott and Tyler Ferreira recorded two goals apiece. O'Connor, Dance, Seth Laidlaw, Licata and Justin Reid rounded out the scoring. The 5-2-0 Mountaineers, who will host the Founder's Cup national championship tournament in August, were upset by the 4-5-0 Mississauga Tomahawks last week and also lost to the 8-0-0 Green Gaels of Clarington, both at home. Also this week, the Bulldogs play host to Mississauga Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and have a return matchup with the Tommies Sunday in Clarkson at 3 p.m. Fifth-year Halton Hills Bulldogs' forward Nic Grasby registered his second shorthanded goal of the night against visiting Toronto Beaches Thursday as his team went on to a 7-5 victory to remain unbeaten at 7-0-0 in OLA Jr. B lacrosse action at the Alcott Arena.
