COQUITLAM, B.C. - Team Australia got their first win of the 2008 ILF U-19 Men's Lacrosse World Championships with a
23-6 over Japan at Percy Perry Stadium on July 6.
The Australian team led 10-4 at half after building up a 7-0 lead in the first period. Japan won their first period
of the tournament when they outscored Australia 4-3 during the second frame. As the second half began, Australia
started to pull away from the Japan team who was still without their leading scorer Yohei Nagashima. The
Australians scored eight goals in the final period and outscored the Japanese 13-2 in the second half.
Christopher Plumb, Angus Cameron and Brock Pettigrove led Australian scorers with three goals each. Nathan Leader
also scored three goals for the Aussies, all of which were in the first period. Australian goalie Samuel Kilford
stopped 13 of the 19 Japan shots. Tsuguta Saito and Masashi Ohara each scored two goals to lead Japan in the losing
effort.
Australia (1-3) will play their last round robin game of the tournament on Monday, July 7 against the Iroquois
Nationals team at 4:00 p.m. while Japan (0-4) will take on Canada later Monday evening at 7:15 p.m. at Percy Perry
Stadium.
