Posted July 23, 2010 – 10:00 am in: Lacrosse

At the World Lacrosse Championships, Canada is undefeated, with a perfect 5-0 record, after a 17-6 win over England on Tuesday; Canada is heading into the semifinals.

In the win, the Canadians got two goals apiece from Dan Dawson, Kevin Huntley, Shawn Williams, Corey Small, Zack Greer and John Grant, while, single goals was scored by Kevin Crowley, Jordan Hall, Garrett Billings and Rhys Duch. For Canada, the round robin portion of the tournament, wrapped up the win.

Before a third-quarter rainstorm slowed the action, Canada was dominating England.

In the semifinals, if everything goes according to plan, or at least predictions, then on Saturday Canada will face the United States in the final. The way it appears now, in the semifinals, Coach Dave Huntley’s squad could play Japan on Thursday, although until after the play-in games Wednesday, the Canadians won’t know for sure.

Against England, 11-3 at halftime before the rain came and it was 5-2 after one quarter. In the third, each team scored twice, Canada increased its lead in the fourth quarter, after the rain stopped.

For England, Lewis Ratcliff and Mark Reynolds scored two goals each and Evan Roberts got one each.
