A field lacrosse game was played between Canada and Great Britain at the 1908 Summer Olympics. The game was tied 9-9 in the fourth period, before Canada scored five straight goals to pull ahead. Canada won 14-10 to earn their second consecutive gold medals: until 2028, these were the only lacrosse gold medals given out in the Olympic Games.[1][2]
