National Standings | Week 5

Submitted by League Reporter, Jen Mutas

The two undefeated teams in the BCJALL hold their spots in the Subway LacrosseTalk National Rankings for the second week as COQUITLAM (6-0-0) and NEW WESTMINSTER (5-0-1) hold down the #2 and #3 spots respectively; placing only behind the Orangeville Northmen of the OLA who have eight wins and zero losses which put them first overall in the country. The time will come for one team to surrender a loss, or at the very least- a tie, as they face each other June 1st at Queens Park Arena, for the first time since the 2009 BCJALL finals.

Four consecutive wins have shuffled the VICTORIA SHAMROCKS from seventh spot to fifth this week in the National Standings. The team’s impressive performance on May 30th versus the Saints, including Casey Jackson’s eleven point night (4goals and 7assists), have moved the ‘Rocks three points clear of Coquitlam and Nanaimo for top spot in the BCJALL standings.

NANAIMO and BURNABY also hold their same spots as last week, rounding out the rankings with ninth and tenth spot (respectively). The Timbermen make the trip down Island on June 1st to carry out their rivalry with the Shamrocks, and Burnaby has a week to rest up before they try and snap their four game losing skid, hosting the Saints on June 6th.
