Corey Small leads the way in Victoria Shamrocks win

‘Rocks down Burnaby Lakers by 11-6 count

On Friday against the Burnaby Lakers, it took all of 13 minutes and change for Victoria Shamrocks forwards Rhys Duch and Corey Small to fall back into that familiar rhythm of pass, shoot, score.

“It just becomes second nature, knowing where he is on the floor and knowing where I am,” Small said of his longtime teammate.

At 13:53 Small set up Duch for his first of the season, last year’s Western Lacrosse Association MVP having missed the club’s opener last week, to erase an early goose egg and cut the Burnaby Lakers advantage to 2-1.
