Sr. B Titans continue to win one, lose one An interesting season-long trend continued last weekend for the Oakville Titans senior B lacrosse team. Oakville rallied from a three-goal deficit in the third period to trim the Norwood Champs Sunday in Norwood, continuing a trend that has seen the Titans alternate wins and losses through their first nine games of the campaign. Cam Monroe had four goals and two assists, Shane Scott had three goals and four helpers, and Nicholas Grasby set up five markers to lead the Titans, who trailed Norwood 10-7 midway through the third period before rattling off seven consecutive goals. Mark White (two), Cassady Loucks, Craig Blinkhorn, Jeff Sehl, Simon Desousa and Kyle Aquin had Oakville's other goals, making a winner of goaltender John Preece. Norwood was assessed 84 of the 92 penalty minutes in the game, though 66 of those minutes came with 14 seconds left in regulation. The Titans (5-4) will look to have their first two-game winning streak of the season this weekend as they host the Sarnia Beavers Sunday at Glen Abbey Recreation Centre.
