The Cobourg Kodiaks (3-6) traveled west to face the Six Nations Chiefs (7-1) in Major Series Lacrosse action Tuesday night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena in Haggersville, Ontario.
The goaltending match-up had Laine Hruska in net for Cobourg facing Doug Jamieson in net for the Chiefs.

By the end of the second period Brad Kri, Larson Sundown, Shayne Jackson, and Ryan Smith all had a pair of goals, as Six Nations took over the flow of the game. For the Kodiaks, Alex Marinier continued his hot night scoring both Kodiaks goals in the period for a hat-trick in the game. Doug Jamieson continued his consistent play making 28 of 33 shots on the evening to this point.
While the Kodiaks continued to play hard into the third period, the Six Nations Chiefs were just too powerful to contain. Outscoring Cobourg 5-2 in the third period, Six Nations cruises to a 16-7 victory.
