Predators back in the playoff mix with two big ‘W’s playoff
The Prince Albert Predators entered the weekend tied last in the Prairie Gold Lacrosse League standings, but after two big wins, they are right back in the thick of things.
The Predators won both of their home games at the Kinsmen this weekend, beating the Yorkton Bulldogs 16-3 on Sunday and the Estevan Big Dogs 24-9 on Saturday.
The two wins put the Predators record at 2-3 and back in the hunt of hosting what would be the first PGLL playoff game in Prince Albert. The PGLL reformatted the postseason, allowing the top two teams from each division, the North and the South, to host a playoff game.
“These two wins are so important, it brings us back in a situation where we can bring a home (playoff) game here in Prince Albert, that’s the goal right now,” said Predators head coach Darryl Frenette. “If it doesn’t happen, it’s not the end of the world but we’d sure love to host the game if we could.”
