Canada is undefeated at the World Lacrosse Championships, heading into the semifinals with a perfect 5-0 record after a 17-6 win over England on Tuesday.
The Canadians got two goals apiece from John Grant, Dan Dawson, Zack Greer, Kevin Huntley, Corey Small and Shawn Williams in the win, while Garrett Billings, Kevin Crowley, Rhys Duch and Jordan Hall scored singles. The win wrapped up the round robin portion of the tournament for Canada.
Canada was dominating England before a third-quarter rain storm slowed the action.
If everything goes according to plan, or at least predictions, in the semifinals, then Canada will face the United States in the final on Saturday. The way it appears now, coach Dave Huntley’s squad could play Japan in the semifinals Thursday, but the Canadians won’t know for sure until after the play-in games Wednesday.
Against England, it was 5-2 after one quarter and 11-3 at halftime before the rain came. Each team scored twice in the third and, after the rain stopped, Canada increased its lead in the fourth quarter. Lewis Ratcliff and Mark Reynolds scored two goals each for England and Adrian Bennett and Evan Roberts got one each.
