🥍 The Lakers Varsity boys lacrosse team lost a tough non-league matchup against one of the top Class C schools in Section V this past Friday evening, losing to Pal-Mac by a score of 8-7. The Lakers were sluggish to start the game, falling behind 3-0 after the first quarter and 5-1 at the half. Goalie Matthew Beachel kept his team in the game during that sluggish first half as he made 11 of his season high 14 saves. Jackson McEnerney had the Lakers lone goal in the second quarter.
The boys started to turn things around in the second half, outscoring the Red Raiders by a score of 3-2 with Shane Melead, Josh Schirtz and Matthew Connor all having goals to make the score 7-4 after 3 quarters. The defense continued to get stronger as the game progressed with Jon Crye, Michael Neckers, Alex Mayen, Colby Percey and Austin Randolph increased their defensive pressure and made things uncomfortable for the Pal-Mac offense.
Matthew Connor scored his second of the game just over a minute into the 4th quarter which helped turn the momentum in the favor of the Lakers. Three minutes later, Justin Skelly scored on an extra-man advantage, followed by Derrick Wigley forcing a tie just 70 seconds later. However, Pal-Mac won the ensuing faceoff and scored the eventual game winner just 20 seconds afterwards. The Lakers did have a number of decent looks over the last few minutes of the game but were unsuccessful in getting one past the Red Raiders goalie to tie it up. With the loss the Lakers fall to 2-1 on the season as they enter a period where they don’t play another game until April 20th.
Highlights for the Lakers included:
Matthew Connor – 2 goals, 2 assists and 5 groundballs
Shane Melead – 1 goal, 1 assist and 2 groundballs
Derrick Wigley – 1 goal, 2 groundballs
Jackson McEnerney – 1 goal, 5 groundballs
Josh Schirtz – 1 goal
Justin Skelly – 1 goal, 3 groundballs
Christian Rumfola – 1 assist, 2 caused turnovers
Matthew Beachel – 14 saves, 7 groundballs
Jonathon Crye – 4 groundballs
Michael Neckers – 3 groundballs
Alex Mayen – 2 groundballs, 2 caused turnovers
Weekend Wrap Up
⚾ Varsity Baseball lost to Avon 8-1. Avon took the lead in the 1st inning after 6 walks from Livonia pitching and no hits. Jack Kearney came in and pitched 2 1/3 innings striking out 2, and walking none to keep the game close. Kearney and Luke Stewart got 2 hits for the Bulldogs."We have walked 20 batters in 2 games, I thought that our pitching would keep us close but not up to this point. It's been disappointing to say the least." Coach Gilman

🥍 Boys Varsity Lacrosse travelled to Bath last night for their second consecutive GRALL matchup of the season, this time coming away with a 20-7 win against the host Haverling Rams. The Lakers started out strong once again as Jackson McEnerney found the back of the net after a feed from Justin Skelly just 80 seconds into the game. The Rams would tie things up less than 2 minutes later, but that’s as close as it would get for the remainder of the game. The Lakers would proceed to score 7 more goals in the quarter, including 6 in just over 3 minutes. Derrick Wigley scored 3 of his game high 6 goals during that scoring outburst.
It was more of the same as the Lakers continued their offensive dominance in the second quarter as they scored the first 6 goals on their way to a halftime lead of 16-4.
