Nipissing opened up their winning weekend with a high-scoring affair with Trent. In the 60th minute, with the Lakers leading 3-1, Zak tallied the team’s fourth and final goal on the afternoon. The marker proved to be an important one, with Trent putting home two late goals to make the final 4-3. Zak also added an assist in the game.
