Fleming College will make history on Sunday, when the Fleming Phoenix host their first-ever Lacrosse Sixes tournament at the Phoenix Sports Field on Sutherland Campus.
Featuring four Ontario Colleges Athletic Association member teams — Fleming, Durham, Humber, and Mohawk Colleges — the event marks the final day of the inaugural Lacrosse Sixes exhibition series, with the final pod and playoffs scheduled for November 1 in Hamilton.
The tournament kicks off at 11 a.m. when Fleming Phoenix takes the field against the Mohawk Mountaineers. Games continue throughout the day including a Phoenix matchup against the Humber Hawks at 2 p.m., before wrapping up with the Durham Lords vs Mohawk Mountaineers lacrosse game at 3 pm.
Sunday’s tournament gives the Fleming Phoenix lacrosse sixes team their first opportunity to play in front of a home crowd. Community members are invited to come out and show their support. Admission is free.
“This first season has been about laying the foundation for Phoenix lacrosse,” said Greg Jefford, Fleming College’s Director of Student Experience and Athletics. “Our student-athletes have grown their skills and gained valuable experience with every game, and hosting this tournament on our home field is a proud moment for the program. We welcome the community to join us in cheering them on.”
