Port Moody Bandits let a 2-0 second period lead slip away and were bounced 11-5 Tuesday by the Ladner Pioneers at Burnaby's Bill Copeland Arena.
The result evened the best-of-five West Coast Sr. 'B' lacrosse league final series 1-1 and Game 3 was set for last night (Thursday, after The News' deadline) in Ladner. Game 4 goes Saturday back at Copeland, 8 p.m.
Ladner out-scored the Bandits 6-1 in the second period before PoMo pumped in a pair of goals to trim the lead to 6-3 but that was as close as they'd come.
Charlie Girdler led the Bandits with two tallies, followed with singles by Justin Hawksbee, Anthio Yuen and Kevin Riley.
