Western wins third consecutive OUA lacrosse championship
SUNDAY
Gm. 15 (Gold) 2:45 p.m. Guelph 8, Western 13
The Western Mustangs used a nine goal first half effort to secure their third consecutive OUA championship title beating the Guelph Gryphons 13-8 on Sunday afternoon on Tindall Field in Kingston.
"The team played great, the preparation was excellent and that really was the difference here," said Mustang head coach Dave Hastings after the win. "I mean we came out flying up 9-1 at the half. We came prepared, we came ready to play and Guelph is a great team and we knew we were going to have to come out and play hard so it was a lot of fun to watch them play well."
The Mustangs attack came early and often as they got on the scoresheet seven times before Guelph scored their first marker. After adding two more the Mustangs set themselves up well heading into the second half up 9-1.
Guelph kept their composure however, and started to pick up their offensive game. Dana Skyvington, who finished with four goals and two assists on the day, added two quick strikes for the Gryphons to start the second half. Guelph scored five more times but Western kept just out of reach for the Gryphons adding four goals in the second half to take a 13-8 victory.
Tawnie Johnson scored three times and added two assists while Michelle Farrugia tallied three of her own to power the Mustang offense. Cait Mancuso got the win in net.
The Mustangs kept their winning streak alive, having not lost since the 2010 OUA Championship game against Laurier.
Gm. 14 (Bronze) 1:00 p.m. Brock 11, Laurier 12 (OT)
The Laurier Golden Hawks used overtime to complete their comeback of the Brock Badgers and earn themselves an OUA bronze.
After trailing 11-8 late in the game Laurier rallied to score twice to bring the score to 11-10. Sara Hatch then took matters into her own hands and with 35 seconds remaining in the game scored her fifth goal of the day to even the score.
In overtime the only goal came from the Golden Hawks. Sarah Stanley notched her second of the game and after staving off a late Badger charge that saw them hit the goal post with under 10 seconds remaining, Laurier hung on for the win.
Gm. 13 11:15 a.m. Queen's 4, Toronto 8
The host Queen's Gaels were doubled up in the fifth place game by the Toronto Varsity Blues 8-4 on Sunday morning.
The Varsity Blues Sarah Jamieson scored three times to help carry her team to victory and a fifth place finish. The Gaels had goals from four separate players and could not muster up enough offense late to stay within striking distance of Toronto.
Gm. 12 9:30 a.m. McMaster 9, Trent 12
Trent squeeked past the McMaster Marauders early Sunday morning 12-9 to take a seventh place finish at the OUA Championship.
Trent scored seven times in the first half and were led by Leah Ogilvie who finished with five goals on the day.
McMaster could only manage two goals by Kyra Reilly in the first half and were unnable to make a comeback despite seven second half goals.
