The Nanaimo Jr. Timbermen will have to wait another day before they can notch their first win of the B.C. Junior 'A' Lacrosse League season.

Both the Port Coquitlam Saints and the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs beat up on the Vancouver Island squad over the weekend, outscoring the team for a combined 23-8 over two games.

On Saturday the Saints struggled out of the gate against the T-Men, surrendering a four goal lead by the end of the first period.

PoCo closed the gap in the second with goals from Richard Lachlan and Cody Craven before turning up the offense with eight goals in the final period.

Nash Harrison led the team in scoring with two goals and four assists, while Garrett Chan picked up five points with two goals and three assists. Matt Delmonico also had five points in the lopsided affair, which took place at the Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo.

The Jr. Adanacs took advantage of the tired, struggling T-Men on Sunday night at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex.

Two goals in the first period was all the offense the visitors could muster, as Coquitlam piled on the points to win the game 12-2.

Jr. Adanac Cole Shafer led the team in points with one goal and five assists, while teammate Matt Symes scored two goals and three assists.

Erik Klein had a hat trick and added a helper for a total of four points on the night.

The Adanacs currently sit atop the league at 7-1-0, while the Saints are in the middle of the pack with a 4-4-0 record.
