The Sr. Coquitlam Adanacs will host the Victoria Shamrocks for its final home game this season after missing the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs.
The A’s are currently in fifth place with a 7-10 record, missing the final berth, which went to the Burnaby Lakers, who will finish up the regular season with a 10-7 record.
Victoria was in town last Saturday, when the visiting squad downed the A’s 14-6 at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex.
Coquitlam struggled to find the net throughout the 60-minute effort, with the Shamrocks quickly posting a 4-0 lead midway through the first period.
The Adanacs got on the board with a goal from Brian Gillis, but Victoria did not relinquish control of the game for very long.
The club posted several more markers in the second and managed to hang on to a five-goal lead for most of the game.
Marty Dinsdale had the best night for the Adanacs, scoring two goals and one assist in the losing effort, while both Ryan Johnson and Steve McKinlay had a goal and an assist.
With Victoria’s two games in hand, the first round of the playoffs is still not set. Both the Shamrocks are still jockeying for position with the New Westminster Salmonbellies, who currently sit in first place. A single win for Victoria would see them play the Burnaby Lakers in the first round, but if the standings stay the same they will take on Maple Ridge.
Saturday’s game will take place at the Coquitlam Sport and Leisure Complex. Face off is at 7 p.m.
