Saints ride the waves, then drown out Delta in a statement win at home

July 10, 2026

Some nights, you walk into the rink wondering which version of the opponent is going to step onto the floor. Friday felt exactly like that. Delta had just stunned the top‑ranked Adanacs two nights earlier, so there was a quiet buzz around the Port Coquitlam Community Centre—an unspoken question hanging in the air: would the Islanders bring that same fire to Poco?

Turns out, the Saints had their own answer ready.

The night unfolded in surges—five, then three, then six. Poco kept stacking momentum like a team that understood the rhythm of July lacrosse. Delta tried to match pace early, but every time they pushed, the Saints pushed harder.

By the time the second period hit its final minute, you could feel the tide turning. It took a few shots for the Saints to lock in, but once they found their rhythm, the Islanders were hanging on by fingertips.

And then came the moment everyone in the building felt: Delta swapped goalies. Poco didn’t say it out loud, but they knew. That was the crack in the armour.

Josh Mills led the charge with a five‑point night, steering the offence with the kind of confidence that makes defenders second‑guess their angles. Lincoln Wall and Oskar Lucas followed with four points each, keeping the ball moving and the Islanders scrambling.

What really made the game pop, though, was the depth. Nine different Saints found the back of the net—always a sign of a team playing connected, unselfish lacrosse.

Even the defence got in on the fun, punching in three transition goals that sent the bench into full celebration mode. Those quick‑strike moments felt like little daggers, each one widening the gap and tightening Poco’s grip on the game.

• Delta’s goalie change — the Saints sensed the finish line the moment the Islanders made the switch.
• Late second‑period rhythm — a few well‑placed shots cracked the game open and set the tone for the third.
• Run after run after run — Poco’s ability to stack scoring bursts made Delta chase the game all night.

A convincing win, and one that showed the Saints can dictate pace even against a team coming off a giant‑killer performance. Port Coquitlam Saints 15 Delta Islanders 3.

No rest. Not even close.

The Saints head straight to Victoria for a Saturday showdown with the Shamrocks at the Q Centre—July 11, 2026. It’s the second game in a gruelling stretch: four games in seven days. The kind of week that tests legs, lungs, and resolve.

But after a 15‑goal outburst at home, Poco looks ready for the grind.
