The Ridge Meadows Burrards won a provincial peewee lacrosse championship last weekend.
Hannah Bigiolli, captain of the Peewee No. 2 team, was chosen MVP of the the provincials, held in Surrey.
Kaitlyn Davie was a brick wall in goal, stopping 26 of 31 shots fired her way by a strong Coquitlam team in the final, as Ridge won 6-5.
Gwendolyn Tomiye also stepped up and slotted two goals in the final, said Burrards coach Blair Peacock, who was proud of the girls as they had a short bench of only nine runners available for the championship game.
“Everyone stepped up and contributed when called upon,” Peacock added.
