Brock men's lacrosse team advances to Baggataway Cup semifinal

The Brock men's lacrosse team defeated the Queen's Gaels 17-10 in the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association's Baggataway Cup quarter-finals in North Bay on Friday, Nov. 5.

The No. 3 Badgers advance to face the No. 2 Bishop's Gaiters in the semifinals on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 6 p.m.

An exciting game eventually saw the higher-ranked Badgers take control and pick up the 17-10 win to move to Day 2 of the tournament.

Starting things off were the Gaels, who came out strong as the underdog and grabbed an early two-goal lead, seeming to catch the Badgers off-guard.

However, it didn't take long for the Badgers to reply, gaining some traction and closing the gap quickly.

After some back and forth play, the Badgers jumped out to a late first-half lead, up 8-4.

Queen's answered back to make it 8-5, closing the gap as the clock continued to wind down in the opening half.

That was all the scoring for the first half, and after 40 minutes of play, Brock had a three-goal advantage.  

The teams turned on the offence in the second half, combining for 14 goals.

Brock managed nine of those tallies, as they pulled away in the third and sealed the game in the fourth, showing a lot of skill and creativity in the process, posting eight first-half goals and 10 in the second 40 minutes.

After the final whistle, the Badgers came away with a 17-10 triumph to advance to the next round.

Joshua Rex and Mitchell Gustavsen recorded hat-tricks for the Badgers, while Connor Aquanno and Nathan Braniff each tallied two goals.
