The Tier 2 under-12 New Westminster field lacrosse team surprised Kelowna at the Richmond Roadrunner Romp tournament last week.
The fourth-seeded Warlocks shocked previously unbeaten Kelowna 7-6 in the semifinals and then mounted a fourth-quarter rally to edge Bellingham 3-2 in the division gold-medal final on Nov. 11.
Owen Stark scored two goals, including the game-winner, in the final period to help New Westminster to the tournament title.
Matthew Drake tied the match 1-1 in the second quarter.
The Warlocks finished fourth in round-robin play following a 7-6 loss to Ridge Meadows 2 in the opening game.
First-place Kelowna defeated Ridge Meadows 10-1 earlier in the tourney.
But in the semifinal game between Kelowna and New West it was the Royal City squad that got the jump in the second half.
The Warlocks broke open a 1-1 halftime deadlock, taking the lead 4-2 at three-quarter time before holding on for a one-goal win against the high-scoring Okanagan club.
Tournament MVP Jesson Flintoff led the way with two goals, while Halen Rasmussen scored the eventual game-winning marker for the Warlocks.
The Romp drew minor field lacrosse teams from the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Interior and Washington State.
