Andrew Harris ran for three touchdowns and Emmanuel Arceneaux scored on a 77-yard passing play as the B.C. Lions beat the Edmonton Eskimos 31-21 in CFL action Saturday night.
The Lions swept the home-and-home series with the Eskimos, after downing them a week earlier in Edmonton.
Arceneaux's spectacular touchdown early in the third quarter broke a 10-10 tie and sent the Lions on to victory.
Paul McCallum booted a 37-yard field goal to account for the rest of the B.C. scoring.
Edmonton backup quarterback Kerry Joseph and Fred Stamps, with just over a minute left in the game, scored touchdowns for Edmonton. Kicker Grant Shaw provided the other Eskimo points on two field goals and a 51-yard single off a missed three-pointer.
Quarterback Mike Reilly was 12-of-20 passing for 142-yards in the game.
A bright spot for the Eskimos was Jonathan Crompton. He entered the game at quarterback late and went 4-of-5 passing for 76-yards, including a touchdown pass to Fred Stamps.
Another bright spot was receiver Nate Coehoorn. He went over 100 yards receiving for the first time in his CFL career.
The Eskimos now fall to 1-3 on the season, and sit last in the West division.
