Victoria travels to Maple Ridge on Sunday
The Langley Thunder were like the guests who arrive late for dinner and then try to steal the cutlery on the way out of the house. But being stern and less-than-accommodating hosts, the Victoria Shamrocks made sure that didn’t happen in a 12-11 victory to open their Western Lacrosse Association season Friday night at The Q Centre.
It was worth the wait for the capacity crowd of 2,224 in a frenetic-paced game that hung in the balance right to the end as Cole Pickup scored the winner at 18:51 of the third period. Victoria had built a 10-7 lead early in the third period only to see the defending WLA-champion Thunder race back into contention. But in the end they could not solve Shamrocks goaltender Pete Dubenski, who was flying all over the crease with some outstanding stretch saves in a 39-save performance to be named first star.
