The Victoria Shamrocks are one win away from perfection.
The Shamrocks defeated the Langley Thunder 10-8 at The Q Centre on Sunday night, to set the Western Lacrosse Association record for consecutive regular season wins with 17. And they’ll look to make it an 18-0 season when they take on the Salmonbellies in New Westminster on Thursday night in the regular season finale.
On Sunday, it was the King brothers leading the way again with Marshal getting two goals and three assists and being named the game’s first star, while older brother Jesse racked up a goal and four assists in being named third star.
The regular-season title means Victoria will have home floor advantage throughout the playoffs.
The loss dropped the Thunder (7-9-1) into third place, just behind the Salmonbellies, who were 8-8 heading into Monday night’s contest against the Maple Ridge Burrards (7-9).
