Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs were obviously the best team in the province this B.C. Junior A lacrosse league season.
Orangeville Northmen were obviously the best team in the country.
The Northmen followed up their 19-6 romp Friday over the Jr. A's with a 9-4 triumph Saturday to sweep the best-of-three Minto Cup final series in two straight games in Whitby, Ont.
The Northmen, who won back-to-back Mintos in 2008 and '09 before Coquitlam won as hosts in 2010, went 3-0 in round-robin play and 5-0 overall to prove tops in the four-team tournament, which included the Calgary Mountaineers and the defending-champion hosts, the Whitby Warriors.
Orangeville received a bye in the final via their first place round-robin showing, while the Jr. A's brushed aside the Warriors 15-11 in last Wednesday's semifinal to advance to the championship series.
On Saturday, the Jr. A's led 2-1 after the first period before the Northmen stormed back to out-score the westerners 5-1 in the second and 8-2 the rest of the way.
Wesley Berg scored twice for the Jr. A's, whose other goals came courtesy of Ben McIntosh and Reid Reinholdt.
Davide DiRuscio was outstanding in the Jr. A's cage, stopping 57 shots as Coquitlam was out-shot by a lopsided 66-34 margin.
Coquitlam was making its fourth straight appearance in the Minto Cup tourney, after having dominated the Delta Islanders in five games in their best-of-seven provinical final.
