The Coquitlam Adanacs hunt for a Western Lacrosse Association playoff spot got a little more complicated after suffering a loss to the Maple Ridge Burrards Tuesday night.
Coquitlam is on the outside looking in when it comes to a post-season berth, with a 6-6 record that puts the team fifth in the league, behind the Burrards, which have a 7-4-1 record.
The A’s struggled to hang on to the lead Tuesday night on the road.
Maple Ridge scored the opener but Matthew Delmonico quickly tied things up and captain Marty Dinsdale, who returned to the lineup after a honeymoon, scored the go-ahead goal.
But the tide began to turn quickly for Coquitlam when Burrards forward Jarrett Davis tied up the game, followed by back-to-back markers from Dan Taylor to give the home team a 4-2 lead.
Dinsdale eventually scored four for the A’s, but it was not enough to spark Coquitlam’s offence and help the team take the lead.
The Adanacs were able to keep things competitive right up until the last few minutes, when the Burrards scored two empty netters to win the game 11-7.
Coquitlam will look to get back to their winning ways tomorrow (Saturday, July 16) when the team hosts the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Face off is at 7 p.m.
