The Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs put an exclamation point on their first-round playoff series with a 21-3 victory over the Victoria Shamrocks on Saturday night on the way to the B.C. Jr. 'A' Lacrosse League finals.
The win capped a three-game sweep of the opening best-of-five round that saw the A's continue their impressive regular season, extending their winning streak to 24-0 this year.
Victoria's shooters struggled against a stingy Adanacs defence, while the A's outscored their opponents 54-9 over the three games.
Head coach Curt Malawsky said he was happy to see his team stick to their system, no matter what the scoreboard said.
"There is a potential to let off the gas a bit and I don't think we did that," he told The Tri-City News. "We stayed the course and we just executed. In the playoffs, you don't want to lay off."
In the B.C. Jr 'A' Lacrosse League finals the A's will take on rivals the New Westminster Salmonbellies, a team Coquitlam defeated three times during the regular season.
However, Malawsky is taking nothing for granted. He said he knows his squad is in for a tough series and the fact the A's have had some success against New West means nothing in the post-season.
"They are a good team," he said. "We are basically throwing that record out the window. They are a well-rounded team and I know they are going to be prepared to beat us."
The first game of the final round will be played at the Coquitlam Sports Centre on Wednesday at 7 p.m. For more information go to bcjuniorlacrosse.com.
