June 27, 2007 -- After showing no juice last Thursday versus the New Westminster Salmonbellies, the Coquitlam Adanacs needed to jump start their offence Saturday.

Joel Dalgarno brought the booster cables.

A call-up from the PoCo Saints Jr. ‘A’ squad, Dalgarno sparked the A’s with two goals and an assist on way to an 11-9 victory over the Maple Ridge Burrards in a Western Lacrosse Association contest at Coquitlam Sports Centre.

The win evened the Adanacs’ fourth-place record at 4-4-1 and came on the heels of a sad-sack 7-2 defeat two days previously to the first-place ‘Bellies at Queen’s Park Arena.

“He played well,” Adanacs general manager Les Wingrove said of Dalgarno, who, along with his Saints’ teammate Tyler Codron, helped fill a void in the Coquitlam line-up created by a rash of injuries. “Our offence was somewhat non-existent versus New West. We played well on defence both games, but we played better offensively Saturday.”

Veteran Jason Wulder rallied the Adanacs’ attack with a seven-point night, including three goals. Peter Veltman also netted three markers, with rookie Steve McKinlay contributing a goal and three assists. Curt Malawsky added four helpers for the winners.

Gary Bining and Tim Campeau also struck net for the A’s. Derek Lowe, a former Jr. ‘A’ Saint, whipped in three goals to guide Maple Ridge.

The Adanacs managed fewer than 30 shots for the second straight game. Against New West, the ‘Bellies blistered 49 shots at A’s goalie Dallas Eliuk, who was sharp in stopping 42 of them.

Wulder and Colin Doyle were the only Adanacs to beat New West stopper Matt Disher.

PoCo product Peter Morgan paced the ‘Bellies with three goals and two assists, while ex-Coquitlam Jr. Adanac Athan Iannucci handed out four assists.

After winning their first eight games, the ‘Bellies fell for the first time this season Friday, when they were shaved 13-12 in overtime by the host Burnaby Lakers.

The Adanacs visit the Nanaimo Timbermen on Saturday and Maple Ridge on Tuesday, and don’t return home until Saturday, July 7 when they face the Lakers, 7:45 p.m., Sports Centre.
