Coquitlam Adanacs did a terrific job preventing goals Sunday. Scoring them, however, was a problem.
The A's managed only one marker in each period during a 7-3 defeat to the host Langley Thunder in the opening game of the Western Lacrosse Association best-of-seven final series.
Game 2 goes Tuesday at Poirier Sports Complex, 7:45 p.m.
The teams were knotted 1-1 after the first period and the Thunder held a 4-2 lead after the second.
Jason Jones, Steve McKinlay and Daryl Veltman scored for the A's, who were outshot handily 59-37 and got an outstanding 52-save showing from league MVP goalie Nick Rose.
Former Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs' player Athan Iannucci and ex-PoCo Saint Rob Van Beek were among the Langley goal-getters.
