The playoff round saw BC eliminate Saskatchewan with a 7-0 win on Aug. 19 to set up a gold medal battle with the pesky Ontario team. However, Ontario edged out BC with an 8-5 win to win gold and leave BC with silver.
BC finished 5-3 overall at the event and outscored the opposition 63-28. Eustace recorded four goals and one assist at the tournament.
The silver medal caps off an impressive summer for Eustace, who also plays for the Abbotsford Warriors. He also earned a provincial bronze medal as part of the Warriors Peewee C box lacrosse team back in July.
