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).
