Provincial host Eagles a favourite to be in finals
The Vic-Esquimalt Eagles are on track to make the Junior B box lacrosse provincials at home in the Archie Browning Sports Centre come the end of July.
Win or lose in the Pacific Northwest Junior Lacrosse League playoffs the provincial host Eagles have the automatic bye to the July 31 -
Aug. 1 tournament at the Archie.
But the first-place finishers in the PNJLL have designs on earning their way there outright, despite not having a permanent home.
The ice in Archie Browning will be removed for the second time this spring/summer to accomodate the Jr. B provincials, July 31-Aug. 3.
On Sunday the Eagles defeated the Nanaimo Jr. B Timbermen 9-8 in Nanaimo, clinching the best of three, round one playoff series two games to none. The Eagles won game one 8-6 at Panorama on Friday.
Moving onto round two, Vic-Esquimalt will play their second straight playoff series out of Panorama Recreation Centre in North Saanich due to a shortage of floor space.
The Eagles play the winner of the round one PNJLL playoff series between the Cowichan Valley Thunder and Westshore Bears, Friday July 17, 7:30 p.m. at Panorama.
