Coquitlam Adanacs opened the Western Lacrosse Association season with a victory.
Since then, things haven't gone so hot for the team that's looking to improve on last year's last-place showing.
Shayne Jackson's goal with fewer than eight minutes remaining proved the winner Saturday as the A's were trimmed 7-6 by the Langley Thunder at Poirier Sports Complex.
The result dropped the A's to 1-3, while Langley improved to 2-2.
The teams were tied 2-2 after the first period and the Thunder took a 5-4 margin into the third, where Coquitlam's Kevin Olson scored on a power play nine minutes in to even the count 6-6 before Jackson struck for the eventual deciding tally.
Scoring continues to plague the A's, who have scored only 24 goals in their four games thus far for a league-worst average of six markers per game.
Olson finished with two goals for the A's, who got another pair from Daniel McQuade. Steve McKinlay and Jason Jones were the only other Coquitlam players to strike net.
Langley was led by former Coquitlam Jr. Adanac star Athan Iannucci, who scored once and assisted on two others.
The A's visit the 4-0 Victoria Shamrocks tonight (Wednesday) before returning home to face the 3-1 New Westminster Salmonbellies on Saturday, 7 p.m at Poirier.
JR. SAINTS SLIP
Brock Whiteley, Matt Delmonico and Cory Takahara each scored twice but their PoCo Saints were shaved 9-8 Friday by the Delta Islanders in a B.C. Junior 'A' affair in Ladner.
