Renegades no longer perfect thanks to Devils

The roller coaster went skyward for the junior B Sun Devils Saturday.

At the Kinplex, the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League club handed the Red Deer Renegades their first loss in the Tier 2 South Conference, a come-from-behind 15-13 decision that showed how tough the Devils are on home floor.

Izaak Loran and captain Damon Phillips scored in a 34-second span late in the third period to break a 13-13 tie, part of a seven-goal final frame onslaught. Zach Wilson had three goals in the comeback, Aidan McLean and Daniel Drefs had hat tricks too and Medicine Hat improved to 56 and snapped a two-game losing skid.

Nick Scott replied with four for the Renegades, who fell to 8-1.

The Sun Devils remain at home this weekend, hosting the Calgary Sabrecats Saturday (6:30 p.m.) and the Strathmore Venom Sunday (3:30 p.m.). Both teams have sub-.500 records.
