Arrows take game seven to advance to the finals

No one figured the Six Nations Arrows would come back from trailing 3-1 in their best-of-seven semi-final series against the St. Catharines Athletics. But they managed to put together three solid games to get the wins to extend their season. Last night at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena, the Arrows defeated St. Catharines 6-2 to advance to the finals.

Angus Goodleaf turned in another good performance as he made 33 saves to get the win.
