The Peterborough Century 21 Lakers remain undefeated in the early stages of the Major Series Lacrosse season, securing a 14-9 road win over the Brooklin Lacrosse Club Wednesday night.
Leading the charge for the Lakers was Turner Evans, who celebrated the birth of his first daughter on Tuesday, with three goals and three assists.
