Venom undisciplined in stunning home loss to Vernon
KAMLOOPS — Venom coaches and players sat outside the home locker room at Memorial Arena on Tuesday night in disbelief, wondering what went wrong in Game 2 of their Thompson-Okanagan Junior Lacrosse final against Vernon.
“Yeah probably the ugliest one that I’ve had coaching junior lacrosse here in Kamloops. Pretty tough night for us,” said Venom head coach Doug Clark after a 20-7 loss to the Vernon Tigers at home.
The Venom came in with momentum, despite a 13-12 loss in the opening game on Sunday, and they opened the scoring when Tanner Koroluk finished off his own rebound after being stopped on a breakaway. But from there on, the Tigers took over the game and scored the next five goals, leading 6-3 at the end of the first period.
