If the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies were looking for a fast start to the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League playoffs, they certainly got it.
The ’Bellies began the post-season by scoring the first six goals en route to defeating the Port Coquitlam Saints 10-5 in the first game of a best-of-five semifinal at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday. League-leading scorer Connor Robinson, who had 130 points (50-80) during the regular season, led the way with three goals and two assists. Nick Chaykowsky scored two goals and had three assists while Larson Sundown had two of each. Jeremy Bosher, Carter Dickson and Dalton Lupul also scored for New West.
