LACROSSE... With just three
games left in the Western
Lacrosse Association regular
season, the North Shore
Indians are guaranteed a plav-
off position.

The two big questions that

will be answered

over the course

of the next

week are

whether North

Shore can catch

Coquitlam and

Maple Ridge for

secund spot, and if

Indians forward Todd

Karanchik can win the regular
season scoring ttle.

In the first case, the Indians
are currently in fourth spot
with a 12-10 record; Maple
Ridge and Coquitlam boast
identical 14-8-1 records
(Victoria leads the standings
wich a 17-5 season mark).
