A balanced attack and a strong finish were keys in the New Westminster Salmonbellies’ 11-6 victory over Langley last week.
The senior A Bellies broke out to a 3-0 lead on markers from Mitch Jones, Dane Sorensen and Anthony Malcom, making his debut with the club.
But Langley, mired in last place in the Western Lacrosse Association, didn’t fold and pressed back to pull within a goal. They would do that repeatedly, trailing 6-5 five minutes into the third before New West pulled away.
Logan Schuss tallied a goal and set up four others. Both Jones and Malcom finished the night with two goals, while Mike Donaldson, Justin Goodwin, Jordan McBride, Patrick Miles and Connor Robinson counted singles.
New West, whose next home date is June 30, visits Victoria on Friday, where the Shamrocks retire one-time Bellie Fred ‘Whitey’ Severson’s No. 8 jersey.
