B.C.’s title drought at the Founders’ Cup Canadian Junior B Lacrosse Championship continues.
The provincial champion Coquitlam Adanacs fell 9-7 to the Calgary Chill in quarterfinal play in the eight-team national championships Friday in Orangeville, Ont.
The Chill, who were 2-1 in Group A, took a 5-1 lead after 20 minutes Friday, but Coquitlam cut the deficit to 7-5 after two periods.
B.C. hasn’t won a Founders’ Cup since play began in 1972, and its last national Junior B championship came when the event was known as the Castrol Cup, won by the Victoria McDonalds in 1971.
Vernon Sun Valley Source For Sports Tigers pick-ups Ryan Sarazin, Quintin Harrish and Ethan Anderson all played Friday but were held off the scoresheet.
