Indians win weekend games

THE NORTH Shore In-
dians are serving notice to
their West Coast Senior B
competition that this season
belongs to them.

Following a 7-4 season-opening
victory against the Surrey Rebels
last Wednesday night, the Indians’
home opener against Langley
Knights on Friday did not disap-
point the home-town fans.

Physically, the Indians are by
far the biggest — and by Friday
night’s. account the toughest —
team in the league.

The Knights struck first when
Paul Booth broke free in front of
the Indians’ goal and beat Indians
goalie Dennis Joseph. Three
minutes later, Knight standout
Gord Minct took a pass from
Mike Davis and blasted a shot
past Joseph.

But it didn’t take long for the
Indians to respond. :

Mike Shaw scored on a
straight-on shot from 15 metres
(50 ft.) out, beating Knights net-
minder Dave Pech, who. didn’t
even see the ball until it was in the
net, .
The remainder of the 20-minute
first period saw both teams trade
goals, including two by the In-

dians’ Brian Baker. The teams hit
the locker room with the Indians
ahead 5-4.

The Knights came out swinging
in the second, dominating the ball
on defence and on offence with
two quick goals.

At the 13:08 mark of the second
period, a melee erupted behind the
Indians net, resulting in three
players from each team cooling

‘their heels in the penalty box for

two minutes.

With both teams playing
three-a-side, Martin capitalized
with a close-in goal to knot the
game at seven,

change at the 11-minute mark.
Veteran Indian Joseph was
replaced by off-season acquisition
Dwight Maetche. Maetche, who
played for the Brooklyn Redmen
Senior A squad in Ontario fast
season, is one of the best lacrosse
goalies in the country.

His: performance Friday night
left little room for debate.

When the dust had settled, the
Indians came away with an im-
pressive 15-7 victory. Maetche
was tested, but let no ball in.

The Indians’ next home game is
this Friday night, May 14, at the
Lonsdale recreation centre arena
against Surrey.
