Connor Robinson had a field day in the Capital City on Saturday.
The second-year lefthander scored five times to help lead the New Westminster Salmonbellies to a 17-8 victory over the Victoria Shamrocks at the Q Centre on May 10.
Robinson, who currently leads the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League in scoring with 27 points in his first four games, recorded a game-high eight points in the Salmonbellies’ third win on the road.
Johnny Pearson, who opened the scoring in the first minute of play, also had a big afternoon, scoring twice while chipping in with five helpers.
Jeremy Bosher added a goal and five assists, while Chris Nasato notched his second straight hat trick in a five-point outing.
Ross Bowman also had another strong outing, turning aside 32 shots to make the scoreline appear more one-sided than was otherwise the case.
The shots on goal were almost equal with New West outshooting the junior ’Rocks 49-48.
New West jumped out to an early 4-1 lead in the opening six minutes and held a 7-3 lead heading into the middle frame.
Victoria closed the deficit to a pair of goals, but the visitors finished the period strongly leading 11-6, aided by Jakob Doucet’s first of two shorthanded goals in the game.
New Westminster played Port Coquitlam at home on Tuesday (after Recorddeadlines).
The junior ’Bellies play the slumping Delta Islanders in Ladner on Saturday.
In other weekend matchups, the Burnaby Lakers doubled last season’s total win output, scoring the club’s second straight junior A victory with a 10-9 decision over the Islanders at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Mother’s Day.
Aged-up intermediate Tyler Vogrig led the Lakers with a career-high seven points, including a first-ever junior A hat trick.
