We had some very exciting lacrosse and some unbelievable performances this past weekend. Some of which included goaltenders not only standing on their head to make some unreal saves, but also had a goalie score a goal, and not on himself.
1-Rob Hellyer–(5G/5A–Tor) Hellyer was a beast on Friday night. Hellyer’s first goal at :35 of the second quarter put the Rock in the lead until Edmonton tied it with 5:18 to go. Hellyer would then go on to score the game winner in overtime firing a shot that just trickled past Aaron Bold. Hellyer also registered a point on the Rock’s first four goals.
2-Tyler Digby–(5G/3A–Van) Digby had a game high 5 goals in a 21-15 swatting of the Swarm on Saturday night. Digby also dished out 3 assists to help Vancouver get back on the winning track and regain a three game lead for the final playoff spot.
3-Josh Sanderson–(2G/8A-Tor) The league leader in assists (52) and points (62) was at it again Friday night. Another eight assists to help lead the league leading Rock to another victory and a 8-1 record, best in the league. Sanderson is on pace for 20 goals and 104 assists.
