Tigers fall in B.C. playoff opener

Published: August 02, 2009

The Vernon Tigers got a wake-up call as they bowed 14-3 to the Port Moody Thunder in their opener at the B.C. Junior B Lacrosse Championships Friday night at Archie Browning Arena in Esquimalt.
“There’s a lot of good teams here, so we’ve got our work cut out for us,” said Tigers’ head coach Rich Zecchel.
“We got into penalty trouble and they can bury the ball, so it just got ugly.
“We played poorly, and we’ve really got to raise our level to be competitive. It was an eye-opener for our guys, but it will be a good experience – we’re here to learn, too.”
Zecchel noted that three of Port Moody’s players racked up roughly 25 points each in just five West Coast Junior Lacrosse League playoff games.
Miles Jespersen, Jordan Jarvis and Steve Clark handled the Cats’ attack. Jespersen missed the Tigers’ Saturday afternoon game against the Westshore Bears (Pacific North West Junior Lacrosse League champions) after he earned a one-game suspension for fighting Friday night.
The Cats face the host Victoria-Esquimalt Eagles this morning and end round-robin play tonight against the Great White North Junior Lacrosse League champions Prince George Posse.
The medal round games start Monday morning.
