Six Nations' Quinn Powless puts the ball past Toronto Beaches' goalie Rance Vigneux during Jr. 'A' Lacrosse action at Ted Reeve Arena on Friday. Six Nations went on to win the game 15-4.

The Toronto Beaches Junior A lacrosse team opened their season with a 15-4 home loss to the Six Nations Arrows at Ted Reeve Arena.

And the going could get tougher for their road opener Tuesday, May 20 at 8 p.m. against the host Whitby Warriors.

Last season, those two teams finished one-two atop the Jr. A league standings, Six Nations at 17-3, Whitby at 15-5 (while Toronto Beaches finished just out of the playoffs at 6-14). The two also met up in the thrilling best-of-seven championship playoff series that Whitby won 4-3.

After tackling last seasons top two teams, Toronto Beaches will at least get to enjoy a three game homestand at Ted Reeve Arena: Friday, May 23 at 8 p.m. against the Peterborough Lakers; Sunday, May 25 at 5 p.m. against the Kitchener-Waterloo Braves; and Wednesday, May 28 at 8 p.m. against the Brampton Excelsiors. Toronto Beaches home opener took place Friday, May 9.
