Trent Swamps Nipissing to Headline Week 2 Results

The Trent Excalibur asserted themselves as contenders for the Baggataway Cup in Week 2 of the 2021 CUFLA season, downing the Baggataway host Nipissing Lakers 19-10 at Trent's Justin Chiu Stadium.

Central Division

Trent 19, Nipissing 10
Box score

The Lakers headed into the game with the league's leading scorer in Scott Dominey. After Week 2, Dominey still leads CUFLA, but he added just 2 assists to the 8 goals and 5 assists he had accumulated in a Week 1 win. 

Keeping the Lakers offence in check was one element of Trent's success against Nipissing, but the Excalibur attack was potent, as well. After getting a long pole goal from Curtis Conley in transition off the opening faceoff, Trent added another pair of goals in the following three minutes.

Nipissing responded with a pair of goals, but the Excalibur really took over the game by scoring the next 6 goals, the last four all coming from the stick of Taite Cattoni. His total of 5 goals in the game vaulted him past Dominey into the CUFLA lead with 9 goals. Cam Milligan, meanwhile, had 7 assists in the game to give him a league-leading 10.
