In a driving rainstorm, the Wolverines scored two late third-quarter touchdowns in a 32-22 win to hand the JV Tide its fi rst loss of the season.

Seeded second in the Ontario Jr. B Lacrosse League's East Conference, the Bulldogs are set to take on the third- place Akwesasne Indians for the fi rst two games of their best-of-5 second- round post-season matchup. Game one is slated for the Turtle- dome on Saturday at 4 p.m., with game two Sunday at 3 p.m. The fi nal three games of the series, if necessary, would be played at the Alcott Arena in Georgetown beginning Friday, July 19 at 8 p.m., with game four Sat- urday evening and a fi fth-and-deciding match Sunday afternoon. Princeton University sharpshooter Mike MacDonald had four goals and six assists as the Bulldogs defeated the visiting Kahnawake Hunters 15-5 last Saturday night to complete a sweep of the best-of-3 fi rst-round series. Halton Hills won game one Friday night in Kahnawake by a 12-9 count. Josh Oliver (3), Seth Laidlaw (2), Connor Brown (2), Sean Connors (2), Tyler Aunon and Phil Ferchat also found net in game two for the 'Dogs, who went 6 for 11 on the power play. Dustin Hanzelka earned the win in goal in his fi rst start of the season. The 20-year-old played 13 games on defence during the regular season and head coach Blaine McCauley said that Hanzelka will likely share the netmind- ing duties with veteran Gavin Lecky in the post-season. In the other East Conference semifi - nal series, the top-seeded Green Gaels of Clarington take on the fourth-ranked Oakville Buzz.

It turned out to be a key play in the contest as the Kitchener player later scored and the Eagles lost 7-6. Georgetown's peewees were edged again 5-4 in their second game by Royal York to take them out of championship contention, but came together for a 15-2 victory over St. Thomas to close out the weekend at the Gellert Recreation Centre. The Waterdown Wolves defeated the Niagara Falls Falcons in the championship game. Photo by Eamonn Maher Pair of one-run losses sinks peewee Eagles JV Tide suffers fi rst loss of year In a matchup of undefeated teams played in a relentless rain on Sunday af- ternoon, it almost seemed like the weather would prevail over both clubs at George- town's Kiwanis Field. But the visiting Peterborough Wolver- ines improved to 7-0 in the Mike Ramsay Conference of the Ontario Football Con- ference's junior varsity division with a 32- 22 triumph over the North Halton Crim- son Tide, breaking up a close game with a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter that quelled a comeback bid by the hosts. With the Wolverines leading 18-7 at halftime, the Tide put together an im- pressive drive, with quarterback Tan- ner Gaskill-Cadwallader fi nding receiver Adam Smith in the end zone. As the rain started to come down side- ways at one point, North Halton star rusher Aaron Steffens broke free for what would have likely been a long-gainer, but was taken down at midfi eld. The Wolver- ines took possession and their quarterback scored on a long touchdown run, followed by another major at the end of the period that put the result out of reach. "It's unfortunate when you have in- clement weather like this because differ- ent things can happen at any time and there were a lot of errors and mental mis- takes on our part that got us behind the eight ball early," said JV Tide head coach Jonathan Nedeljkovic. "I think if anything we'll come out stronger because of it. Sometimes losses like this put things in perspective. In my experience in football, I know some of our biggest victories in championship games came after having a loss to that team ear- lier in the season, and we know we can go toe to toe with Peterborough."
