A quick three goal scoring burst late in the first quarter ignited undefeated (4-0) Akron to a 12-6 victory over Medina this afternoon in a key Class D Division lacrosse game at Vets Park.
Breaking away from an early 1-1 deadlock, Akron erupted for three lightning quick goals in a span of just 1:09 on tallies by Owen Hill, Weylon Abrams and Ethan Schleef to take the lead for good.
The Tigers, which also posted a key 14-8 win over Eden (3-1) on Friday, went on to hold leads of 5-1 after one period, 7-2 at the half and 7-3 at the three-quarter mark.
Nelson Logan led the Tigers with 4 goals.
Jake Cotter scored 3 goals for Medina as Mike Carson, Mason Lewis and Brendan Luthart each added 1.
The loss drops Medina into third place in D Division action at 4-2.
