According to the Peterborough Examiner, the Peterborough Lakers of Major Series Lacrosse have been forced to forfeit their first three games of the season. The Lakers, who had been 4-1, are now 1-4. This is due to the fact that forward Scott Evans had been supposed to sit out the first game of the season with a suspension but he did not, so the league took away the wins they…

The Rattlers had control of the game until halfway through the second quarter. With…
