Photo by GRAHAM PAINE Intermediate Mavs edged in tournament finals By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion Three-peat bid don't fail much short- er than this. Persevering through Uinned out ranks during last weekend's John McCauley Memorial Lacrosse Toumnament in Brampton, Milîon's intermediates battled their way to Uic finals only 10 drop a two-goal decision 10 Burlington Sunday evening. Burlington took control in Uic latter haîf en roule 10 prevailing 4-2. The Mavericks- one of Uic younger îeams around Uis season - held îwo separate leads before Ueir hopes for a third conseculive championship were dashed. James Maclntosb and weekend standout Derek Blanchard did the scoring in Uic finals, while backslopping tbe team in highly impres- sive fashion was Jordan Lumb. "Penalties really burt us (in tbe finals)," said coacb Kyle Winger. I think ail of Uieir goals were on tbe powerplay. We'd tied Burlinglon 6- 6 in league play, so we knew it was going to be a tougb gamne." But then tbat could be said about every encouniter last weekend. The Mavericks had no easy rides on the way to the championship and bad 10 baIlle from bebind three imes - includ- ing in the semnifmnals when Uiey edged Uic hosîs 4-3. Only 10 Milton players were available, s0 needless 10 say tbe eventual silver-medalista fought fatigue as mucb as Ueir opposition. Lumb was sharp between the pipes wbile com- ing îhrough witb a huge hat-tnick was Ryan Harris. Todd Asbby also stood out with tbree assists and contributing a single tally was Jef Kitchen. This marked the second slraight lime the Mavenicks trimmed Brampton. The two teamns met in the last round robin game, during which a bandful of players were suspended for the remainder of the toumament, including local netminder Craig Willis. Lumb offered some dynamnite relief goaltend- ing over Uic final five minutes of play to allow bis squad to triumph 5-4. Kevin Corbin made Uic ganie-winning deposit wiUi two minutes left - one a nifty solo effort deke - wbile recording the first of two weekend hat-tricks was Blanchard. Matt Walsh chipped in with a goal. The Mavericks scored three limes in Uic third period during their initial clash with Brampton. They did likewise in second-round play against Mimico t0 win 4-3. Blanchard, Harris, Jon Ram and Adam Rutz did the scoring. With Rutz serv- ing an illegal stick minor at crunch lime, Milton delivered a huge penalty kilI 10 eke out Uic vic- tory. The Mavericks' most convincmng win of Uic weekend was a 4-1 first-round decision over Wallaceburg. Willis was red bot in net while goals were posted by Asbby, Harris, Rutz and Nate Grenke. Toumrament games featured three 15-minute running-time periods, which accounts for Uic low scores. _iClarke'"s Golf ww.clarkesgolf.com ' 1 Fully stoeked Proshop & promotional producis New & Used Equipment Tour Edge Repairs tiont'on site 1 rasticalty4 Trade Ins Always Welconed Special Reduced 1aFREE WEDCE Hoga Apex Edge Irons G0LFwith Graphite & Steel Every set of mens igt & teft HiandI 3O~ff Shirts, Vs-tsShorts & Pants FRE TI SOF Pmeept Golf Bail 18 Thonîpson Rd, Unit 7&B, Milton PUITER Wbt r-v ,905-878g-1àS88D"e SPArn1NG,. enýkrad TERI LYNN HILSON* Sales Rep. 878-7777 Blue Springs (Halton> Corp.
