The Wallaceburg duo of Tye Belanger and Jordan Durston helped the Vancouver Stealth (9-9) defeat the New England Black Wolves (8-10) on Saturday night, 17-16.
“It was a great game and it may have been the greatest game I have ever been a part of in my whole life,” said Assistant General Manager and Head Coach Jamie Batley. “I have to give the guys a lot of credit, we were exhausted in the first quarter. To come out with a gutsy win like that is very impressive.”
With the win, the Stealth’s best offensive effort of the season, Vancouver will now host the Colorado Mammoth in the West Division Semifinal.
The game will be held on Saturday, May 6, at 7 p.m.
Belanger continued his stellar play, making 66 saves in the win.
The six-year pro finished the best season of his career with a 7-7 record and an NLL-leading 0.796 save percentage.
Durston had 3 goals and 1 assist in the game on Saturday.
The second-year forward finished with 25 goals and 18 assists in 18 games this season.
His 43 points topped his output from last year when he produced 38 points in his rookie year.
