(ONONDAGA NATION) Below is a recap of the four games played on Day Seven (Thursday) of the 2015 FIL World Indoor Lacrosse Championship.
QUARTERFINAL: Israel 13, Czech Republic 12
Israel edged the Czech Republic 13-12 to advance to the World Indoor Lacrosse Championship semifinals, where it will play Canada at 4:30 p.m. at Onondaga Arena.
Israel is one of six teams taking part in the WILC for the first time.
Noah Miller’s third goal with just under 10 minutes left that put the Israelis up by two proved to be just enough. The Czech’s rallied from an early 5-0 first-quarter deficit to pull within 8-7 early in the third quarter, but could never take the lead.
WILC newcomer Israel holds off a Czech rally to win 13-12 and advance to the semis to face Canada – the powerhouse three-time defending champion and WILC 2015 tournament favorite.
