The Jr.B Silvertips lacrosse team held on for a hard-fought 11-10 win over the Red Deer Rampage on Sunday, April 29th.

The Silvertips looked to be on cruise control in the 2nd quarter with a 7-3 lead but the Rampage came storming back to get to within 2 goals late in the 4th.

The Rampage scored with 40 seconds left to make sure this one went right down to the wire but the Silvertips were able to lock it down defensively.

Josh Halcro earned player of the game honours in the Silvertips first win of this young season.

A busy stretch of the schedule kicks off this Saturday for the Tips as they travel to Saskatchewan to take on the SWAT 3 times this weekend.
