The Coquitlam Adanacs continue to be a thorn in the side of the Langley Thunder.

For the second time in the past three games, the A's handed the defending Western Lacrosse Association champions a loss.

The most recent was on Saturday at the Poirier Sports Complex as Coquitlam won 12-4.

The loss drops the senior A Thunder to 6-4-0, although they remain tied for the league lead in points with 12. Coquitlam improved to 5-5-0.

Langley trailed 5-4 midway through the second period, but the A's closed the game with the final seven goals.

Athan Iannucci had two goals and an assist while Ryan McMichael (one goal, one assist) and Shayne Jackson (one goal) had the other scores.

Langley had won their previous game, June 20 at the Langley Events Centre, thanks to their highest offensive output of the season, a 16-11 win over the Maple Ridge Burrards.

The Thunder are back in action on June 27 as they host the New Westminster Salmonbellies (5-5-0). They also host the Victoria Shamrocks (6-2-0) on June 30.
