ALL East Game Recaps - Week 2

The Arena Lacrosse League East had three games on the docket in week two.

Saturday at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre in Oakville, Ontario 

Ohsweken Bears 9  Toronto Monarchs 13

The Monarchs controlled the majority of the first quarter, jumping out to a 3-0 lead.  Ohsweken came back with a pair 0:32 seconds apart at the end to tighten the game up.  As was the case all day, as soon as the Bears would get close, Toronto would get on a run to increase the lead.

The Monarchs defense, and the goaltending of Craig Wende was the difference in the game.  Ohsweken never got more than two goals in a row all game.   The Monarchs prevailed in this game 13-9.

Parker Pipher (3g,3a), Patrick Thomson (4g;0a) and Lucas Ferreira (2g,1a) led the way for Toronto.

Jon Perry-Smith (2g,2a) and Rioux Johnson (2g,2a) led the way for the Bears.

The Three Stars:

1. Patrick Thomson - Toronto Monarchs 
2. Austin Paddy - Ohsweken Bears 
3. Parker Pipher - Toronto Monarchs
