Junior C Vets end regular season with a win A come from behind rally ended the Shelburne Caravaggio IDA Junior Vets final game of the 2013 regular season when the squad fired up for a return to the game in Mimico on Sunday, July 14, and left with a 6–4 win. Despite playing in rather hot and humid conditions and entering the game with a short roster, the Vets rallied from a 4–1 deficit with five unanswered markers to take the win. The Vets were down seven regular players when they entered the arena. The final game would have no impact on the final standings in the Ontario Junior C Lacrosse League as the Vets could not advance further up the ranks. However, as a morale booster, the win packs some punch in the confidence department for the teams as the League heads into the playoffs. It was not a good outcome for Mimico as they were looking to take sole possession of eighth place and host Huntsville on Tuesday, in a one game playoff to see who will go up against Halton Hills. With the loss, Mimico now has to do the travelling and will go to Huntsville on Monday (July 15) night for a single game. The results of that play-down game were not available at press time. With Sunday's win the Vets ended the regular season with a 6–9–1 record. It might not seem like an impressive finish, but the squad has shown a marked improvement over last season when they recorded a dismal two wins for the year, 13 losses, and a tie. In Sunday's final game the Vets were lead in scoring by Quinn Fraser who notched a hattrick, Doug Derbyshire who added a pair and Bret Snell handing in a single for the game. Shelburne out-shot Mimico 57–39 on the night including an overwhelming third period where they hammered the host team 18–7 in shots on net and outscored them 4–0 for the period. Shelburne's Daryl Ethier was in goal for the game stopping 35 shots over the three periods. Moving into the playoffs the Vets will face the Hamilton Bengals in round one action. Looking back, the Vets played the Bengals twice this season and lost both games including a 9–7 game at home and a 7–2 loss in Hamilton. The playoffs, however, are a whole different set of circumstances and both teams will be stepping it up and bringing their ‘A' game in a bid to stay alive. Game one of the series took place in Hamilton on Tuesday, July 16, but the final results were not available at press time. The rest of the series is scheduled: Game 2 at Shelburne, on Friday, July 19. 8 p.m. Game 3 at Hamilton on Sunday, July 21. 7 p.m. * Game 4 at Shelburne on Wednesday, July 24. 8 p.m. * Game 5 at Hamilton on Thursday, July 25. 8 p.m. * If necessary By Brian Lockhart |
