The Oakville Rock (2-5) traveled east to face the Cobourg Kodiaks (3-5) in Major Series Lacrosse action at the Cobourg Community Centre Sunday evening.
The goaltending match-up had Landon Kells in net for Oakville facing Jackson Brown in net for Cobourg.
Oakville took control of this game early, and rode it all the way to victory. Tied 1-1 in the first, the Rock rhythmed off three late period goals to get and stay in the lead.
The second period saw the Kodiaks get more feisty and aggressive. Scoring three in the period, including two shorthanded goals, Cobourg battled to within one goal. However, a late goal from Ty English gave Oakville a bit of breathing room heading to the third period.
In the third, both Landon Kells and Jackson Brown took over, making a plethora of saves throughout the frame. Oakville hung on for an 8-5 win.
