The Port Coquitlam Saints picked up their third win of the season, taking down the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League basement dwellers the Burnaby Lakers last Friday at home.
However, despite Burnaby’s struggle to put notches in the win column, the Lakers did not go down without a fight, with the visitors keeping things close for most of the game.
The Saints got on the board first with a goal from Matt Symes, before surrounding a pair of markers to Burnaby, who briefly held a 2-1 lead.
However, Symes’s second of the night sparked his club, which saw goals from Tanner Rennich, three from Greg Lunde and two from Gordie Phillips.
When the clock ran out, the Saints were 11-9.
The team will now prepare for a Tri-City rivalry match this Friday against the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs in Port Coquitlam.
EARLY STRUGGLES FOR ADANACS
The Coquitlam Adanacs’ Western Lacrosse Association season is off to a rough start.
The team struggled against the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the Queen’s Park Arena in their first game of the year, managing only two goals in a 12-2 rout.
The team was a bit better during their home opener against the Langley Thunder at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex on Saturday, but still could not pull of a win, falling 9-6 when the final buzzer rang.
