The Port Coquitlam Saints season came to an unceremonious end Friday. The Saints were trounced 13-2 by the visiting Langley Thunder to be swept from the quarterfinals in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League.

The Saints lost Tuesday's first game in the best-of-three series 14-10 in Langley.

"The first game was our own fault. If we stayed out of the penalty box we could have won that game. The second game was just a total letdown. I can't put my finger on it, just a total lack of emotion," said Saints president and GM Reg Thompson.

Thompson said he is optimistic for next year, with a core group of veterans slated to return.

Tyler Klarner led the Saints playoff scoring with four goals and two assists, while Connor Goodwin and Gord Philips each tallied a pair of goals and three helpers.

The Coquitlam Adanacs post-season just gets started Saturday when they host the visiting Victoria Shamrocks in the first game of a best-of-five series.
