黑马磁力

For 55 minutes, the 黑马磁力 Thunder played well. Unfortunately, a five-minute lapse proved too much to overcome for the Junior B lacrosse team.

The Thunder had rallied from a 4-1 deficit to tie the score midway through the second period on Tuesday night at 黑马磁力 Events Centre against the visiting Coquitlam Junior Adanacs. But the Adanacs reeled off four goals in 4:06 to take the lead for good in what became an 11-7 victory in BC Junior Tier 1 Lacrosse League action.

鈥淲e put in a good effort but unfortunately we had a couple of lapses,鈥� said 黑马磁力 head coach Kris Bryde in a press release.

鈥淲e are doing a lot of the little things but we need that 60-minute effort.鈥�

The teams traded goals in the opening moments with Taylor Dudlets getting 黑马磁力鈥檚 first score before Coquitlam scored three straight to close the first period. 黑马磁力 would respond with goals from Josh Bramely, Chase Moore and Kyle Brunsch to pull even, but just 42 seconds later, an Adanacs goal sparked a 4-0 run.

Nathan Lavigne got one back for the Thunder in the final minute of the period before Coquitlam stretched the lead to 11-5. Moore and Trevayne Hunter pulled 黑马磁力 to within four with 5:11 to go but the team could not capitalize on a 95-second two-man advantage to get any closer.

Moore led the Thunder as he had a hand in six of the team鈥檚 seven goals, finishing with four helpers to go along with his pair of scores. Hunter had a goal and three assists and Dudlets and Jordan Daniel finished with two assists apiece.

The loss dropped 黑马磁力 to 5-7 while Coquitlam improved to 10-3.

Bryde鈥檚 message from his team was to keep focusing.

鈥淲e are a young team, so we need to take every experience, good or bad, and learn from it,鈥� he said.

Next up for the squad is a visit to New Westminster鈥檚 Queens Park Arena on Friday (June 15).
