A nine-goal eruption in the second period helped the 91Ô­´´ Thunder win a second straight game.

The senior A lacrosse team overcame a 4-2 deficit to defeat the visiting Coquitlam Adanacs 13-10 on June 4 at the 91Ô­´´ Events Centre.

The win improves 91Ô­´´ to 2-3 in the Western Lacrosse Association as they have won back-to-back home games after losing three straight on the road.

Alex Turner (two goals, six assists),  Athan Iannucci (one goal, five assists) and Tom Johnson (four goals) keyed the attack while junior A call-up James Rahe — who leads the 91Ô­´´ Junior Thunder in scoring this season — chipped in with three goals and an assist.

Tyler Melynk (two goals, one assist), Adam Will (one goal, two assists), Daniel McQuade (two assists), Brett Baron (two assists) and Cam Copeland (one assist) also found the scoresheet.

Brodie MacDonald stopped 36 shots as Coquitlam out-shot 91Ô­´´ 46-39.

The Thunder will try for their first road win of the season when they visit the Burnaby Lakers (2-0) at Bill Copeland Arena on June 6.
