Another game, another win for the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs.
The B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League club dealt the New Westminster Salmonbellies its third loss of the season Wednesday night, taking down the rivals 9-7.
The match was one of the closest on the scoreboard that the Jr. A’s have played all season, but Coquitlam maintained a lead throughout three periods. New West got on the board first but Coquitlam’s Thomas Semple quickly tied things up before Keegan Rittinger notched the go ahead goal. The Salmonbellies would not take back the lead again, as Jordan Magnuson, Cody Graden and Reid Bowering gave Coquitlam a 5-2 cushion in the second period.
New West was able to tie later on the second, but the Jr. A’s restored the lead with markers from John Hofseth, Josh Kemp and Jean-Luc Chetner. Semple rounded out the scoring in the third to make it 9-7, a score that would hold until the final buzzer sounded.
Meanwhile, the 4-5 PoCo Saints are expected to host the Bellies tonight (Friday) at the PoCo Recreation Centre. Face off is at 8 p.m.
