A six-goal third period helped the Burnaby Lakers to a 13-8 victory over the Richmond Roadrunners in West Coast Junior Lacrosse League play last Saturday.
Kevan Galte led all junior B Lakers with a 10-point effort, including a hat trick, while Scott Petursson celebrated a birthday and a new stick, potting five goals and helping out on three others. Aaron Roberts also chipped in with six assists.
Burnaby scored early at the start of both the first and second periods, including a highlight shorthanded marker by Evan MacDonald that gave the home team a 3-2 lead after the opening 20 minutes. But in each case, Richmond worked its way back into the game.
Cody Gilliam, who leads all starting goaltenders with a 0.870 save percentage and has a 6.182 goals against average, was sharp again in goal, stopping 36 shots for the win.
The Lakers take on the first-place Coquitlam Adanacs at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Saturday at 8 p.m.
