Juniors Lacrosse v. Wilbraham & Monson

4/13/2015

The Juniors lacrosse team played its first game of the season, and for many of the players the first game of their careers, on Wilbraham & Monson's excellent turf field. Though the result was an 8-0 defeat, the boys actually played extremely well against a talented and more experienced team.

Yusuf Mukhtar was a star in goal, making ten saves, including several from point blank range. Jack Nagy led the defense, and he was effective as an on-ball defender, and really shined by making multiple outstanding passings to begin fast breaks. Ian O'Connor, Ian Hartwell and Chris Wang also played a considerable amount of time on defense and did well to contain WMA's talented attackmen.

Seth Blain led the way offensively with three shots from his midfield position, while also playing good transition defense. Mavric Crotty, West Lofuff and Alex Rymes also exerted incredible efforts to lead their midfield lines on both ends of the field. Simba Chen, Henry Melnik, Alejandro Espinosa, Andres Pons and Josh Roizen also earned a lot of playing time in their first every lacrosse game, rotating between the midfield and attack.

Despite the scoreline the boys showed noticeable improvement from the first half to the second and they should be proud of their efforts. Thanks to WMA for hosting us and especially for allowing us a couple extra timeouts in the second half when fatigue was setting in with our small roster.
