The Langley Thunder are still in search of their first victory.
James Rahe and JP Kealey led the Thunder with two goals and five points apiece but that was not enough as they fell to 0-6 in Western Lacrosse Association action after dropping a 9-7 decision to the Maple Ridge Burrards.
The senior A lacrosse game was played on Sunday night at Maple Ridge’s Planet Ice.
The teams traded goals to start the game but the Burrards struck for three quick scores in a 1:26 span. The Thunder would get back within one goal but trailed 5-3 after 20 minutes.
Maple Ridge extended the lead to 7-3 early in the second and Langley would never get within two goals.
Adam Will Connar Abrams and Dawson Rodin had the other Thunder goals.
Langley will look to pick up their first win of the season as they host New Westminster on June 21 at the Langley Events Centre. Game time is 7:45 p.m.
