2024 World Junior Lacrosse Championship Day 2 Recap

Canada saw its first action of the 2024 IIJL World Junior Lacrosse Championship taking out the Scottish Thistles 19-5 in Sunday's earlier game. 

Day 2 Recap

CANADA 19 - SCOTTISH THISTLES 5 

Canada had the first day of the five-team championship off. Would their pent-up energy work for or against them as they faced off with the Thistles? It didn't take long to see that Canada was ready to play at a high pace. From Elliott's first goal at 1:16 after the opening whistle to another from Wattie nine and half minutes later, Canada dominated the first period to the tune of a 9-0 lead through 15 minutes. 

Elliott wound up leading all scorers with 3 goals and 4 assists. Seven other players had 2 goals each for Canada, while defender Weatherby was named Canada's player of the game for his solid play all over the floor. Weatherby had a pair of assists in transition and helped the defence and goalie Dibattista to shut out the Thistles for the entire first half.
