(Rochester, July 29th)… Rochester Knighthawks forward Craig Point recorded five points (2+3) and scored the game-winner last night as the Six Nations Chiefs took a 2-0 series lead over the Ajax-Pickering Rock. Game 3 shifts back to Six Nations tonight for an 8:00 p.m. contest in the first-round MSL playoff matchup.

Colin Doyle led the Chiefs with seven points (2+5), while Roger Vyse (0+5) and Kim Squire (3+2) each contributed five-point efforts as Six Nations defeated the Rock, 16-10. Rochester Knighthawks goalie Jake Henhawk earned the victory in goal.

After falling behind 2-1 early in the first period, Six Nations exploded for seven of the next eight goals to grab an 8-3 lead after one. Squire had the hot hand, scoring three times including two straight at the end of the period.

The Rock rallied the second period to cut the lead down to 9-7 with Brock Boyle providing two of the goals, including the seventh Ajax goals of the game at 12:49. Point helped Six Nations restore order with his second goal at 17:50 of the second.
