A five-point performance against the Nanaimo Timbermen on Sunday helped Coquitlam Jr. Adanac Wesley Berg solidify his position atop the B.C. Junior 'A' Lacrosse League scoring list.
The 18-year-old runner has netted 16 goals and 28 points in five games, after Coquitlam pocketed its fifth win of the season against the struggling Nanaimo squad.
The A's wasted no time in getting on the board, putting two past Timbermen goalie Jericho Paul before the end of the first minute of the opening frame.
To say the team is loaded with offensive talent would be an understatement. The third goal of Sunday's match came from Travis Cornwall, who is nipping at Berg's heels in the BCJALL scoring race with 24 points. The player that setup the goal was Matthew Dinsdale, who currently sits in third place with seven goals and 21 points.
Sunday's match may have been Brandon Bertoia's first of the season but the 21-year-old runner has already cracked the top 25 in league scoring. In his first outing of the season he was able to score a hat trick and dished out seven helpers for a 10-point game.
Coquitlam continued to pile up goals - seven in the first period alone - before Nanaimo finally got on the score board in five minutes into the second period.
By the end of the middle frame the A's were leading 11-4 and a third period push from the Timberman, where they scored six goals, was not enough to even the game.
When the final buzzer rang at the end of the third the Adanacs were leading their opponents 16-10.
