It's do or done tonight (Monday) for the Coquitlam Adanacs.

It's do or done tonight (Monday) for the Coquitlam Adanacs.

The Adanacs enter Game 5 in their best-of-seven Western Lacrosse Association final trailing three games to one after a gut-punching 8-7 double overtime loss Saturday to the defending-champion Langley Thunder at Poirier Sports Complex.

Tonight's crucial contest faces off at 7:45 p.m. at Langley Events Centre. A sixth game, if necessary, would go Wednesday at the same time back at Poirier.

Alex Turner's tally four minutes into the second extra session proved the winner for the Thunder, who won for the second straight game after posting a 9-5 triumph last Thursday in Langley.

The teams were tied 1-1 after the first period and the A's led 4-3 after the second before Lewis Ratcliff's goal on a penalty shot with 1:47 remaining in regulation time evened the count 6-6 and forced overtime.

Langley's Joel McCready and the A's Daryl Veltman swapped goals in the first overtime session, setting the stage for Turner's heroics.
