Mi'kmaq Warriors drop the Hurricanes in a defensive battle 8-6. This was the first time the Warriors have been the Hurricanes in their history, and kept themselves in the hunt for the final playoffs sport.
In Monday night lacrosse action, the Halifax Hurricanes hosted the Mi’kmaq Warriors in what would become a first for the Warriors!

During the final period, both these teams were determined to be the one taking the win this night and the play was evenly balanced. Warriors were first to add another 2 points to their score, when the Hurricanes replied with 2 of their own. Warriors gained another point with less than 5 minutes left to the game, but that didn’t stop the Hurricanes from trying to battle back when they scored another goal with only 91 seconds left. With a final score of 8-6, the Warriors took the win over the Hurricanes for the 1st time in Warriors’ 4 year history of matchups against the Hurricanes!
