The Iroquois Nationals have their heads held high Sunday night.

In front of another huge crowd at Syracuse War Memorial Arena, the Iroquois Nationals dropped a close 11-9 decision to Canada.

“It was a good game. We were right with them,” Iroquois Nationals head coach Rich Kilgour said. “We had them down 8-4. All we had was a flat five minutes and they made us pay.”

With a 6-4 Iroquois lead at the half, Canada began to chip away, led by Mark Matthews’ five-goal effort, and Dan Dawson’s winning goal with seven minutes left to go in regulation time. “Every one of their players plays professionally and every one of their players has played box lacrosse since they were little kids,” Brett Bucktooth said. “If you take a minute off, or even a second, those five great players are going to take advantage.
