PETERBOROUGH, Ont. — The Peterborough Lakers are one win shy of a fourth consecutive Mann Cup title after earning a 10-5 victory over the Langley Thunder on Wednesday night.
After dropping the first two games of the best-of-seven series, Ontario’s Major Series Lacrosse champions have won three straight to take a 3-2 lead over the Western Lacrosse Association winners.
Holden Cattoni scored a game-high five goals to lead the Lakers while adding one assist. Joe Resetarits scored two goals and dished out two assists and Shawn Evans contributed a game-high four assists.
