Chill, Knights and Plugs Victorious - Week #3
The Chill and the Phantom took to the field in the first game of the evening; both teams looking for their first win in the Victoria Field Lacrosse League. Both teams looked evenly matched as the Chill took a first quarter lead 4-3. The 2nd quarter, the Chill cooled their competition dominating the frame, taking a 10-3 lead into halftime.
The Phantom then scared themselves straight as they came out for the third quarter taking the game to the Chill and having Prokop make some valued saves as they climbed back now only down 11-7. Unfortunately for the Phantom, the Chill got warm as both teams traded the fourth quarter in scoring and the Chill getting their first "W" of the season.
