Iroquois Nationals Capture Bronze Medal with 19-10 win over England
July 12, 2008
COQUITLAM, B.C. - The Iroquois Nationals captured their second ever bronze medal at the 2008 ILF U-19 Men's Lacrosse World Championships July 12 at Percy Perry Stadium by defeating England 19-10. The Nationals' first bronze medal was in 1999 in Australia when they defeated England in that matchup as well.

The game was a fairly close matchup but the Iroquois team slowly kept pulling away from England outscoring them in each period. The fourth period was the Nationals' largest margin with Iroquois scoring eight in the fourth, compared to only four by England.

Emmett Printup (Niagara-Wheatfield High School, NY) continued his amazing play at the tournament with a six goal performance, finishing up with 33 goals in the eight games that Iroquois played. What's even more amazing about his 33 goals is that in both games he played against Canada, Printup didn't score any goals at all. Printup also chipped in one assist for seven points on the afternoon. The Thompson brothers, Miles and Lyle also had strong performances with three goals apiece. Zac guy was the top performer for England, scoring a hat trick in the second period. Sam Russell and Greg Rowlinson each had two goals in the match.

Peter Jacobs (Cornwall Collegiate, Ont.) got the scoring started at 4:58 of the first period beating England goalie Anthony Hayes. England's Sam Russell tied it just two minutes later beating Iroquois goalie Jeffrey White (Canisius College, NY). Iroquois got the last two goals of the period, the first by Jacobs followed by Randy Staats (Hill Academy, Ont.), to take a 3-1 lead into the second period.

Emmett Printup scored the first goal of the second period to put Iroquois up by three goals. Zac Guy responded for England only to have Miles Thompson (Salmon River High School, NY) give Iroquois their three goal cushion again. Guy scored again for England at the 9:07 mark and Emmett Printup replied with another goal for Iroquois. Guy scored his third goal of the period to pull to within two goals for the third time in the period. Iroquois scored the final two goals of the period to extend the cushion to four goals. Printup got his third goal of the period and Jacobs got his first goal of the period, third of the game, for an 8-4 score heading into the half.

Iroquois outscored England 3-2 in the third period with goals by James Cathers (Corcoran High School, NY), Lyle Thompson (Salmon River High School, NY) and Emmett Printup. England responded with goals by Greg Rowlinson and Daniel Ives. The score was 11-6 heading into the final frame.
