Erica Evans wasted no time making an impact for Team Canada, scoring just five seconds into Tuesday’s 32-2 win over Mexico at the 2026 Pan-American Sixes Lacrosse Championship in Oshawa.

The Peterborough native finished the game with three goals and four assists as Canada opened the tournament with a dominant victory.

Evans was joined on the Canadian roster by two members of the Peterborough Lakers’ 2026 championship-winning team, Madalyn Baxter and Nicole Perroni.

Perroni led Canada with five goals and added three assists, while Baxter scored twice.

The Trent Excalibur have a trio of athletes playing on the Canadian roster, including the aforementioned Baxter, along with Kylea Dobson and Maggie Cuddy.

Dobson found the back of the net twice in the win, while Cuddy scored four goals.

For anyone trying to add that up right now, the local connections combined for 16 goals and seven assists.

Canada returns to action on Friday at 7:30pm against Jamaica at Oshawa Civic Fields. Anyone who can’t make it to the game can watch it online through World Lacrosse TV.
