Thirds Lacrosse v. East Longmeadow

The Thirds Lacrosse team showed much improvement in their second game of the season, playing East Longmeadow to a tie. Alan Kim, new to the goalie position, played a tremendous game. He made many saves and on multiple occasions, he was seen running the ball up the field to spark our attack. Eaglebrook also saw strong play from Santiago Miranda, Juan Bolinaga, and Ian Hurley on the defensive end. They served as vocal leaders for their teammates, and kept the East Longmeadow attackers at bay with their fight for ground balls, physical play, and well timed stick checks. Kevin Ougourlian, Pablo Barroso, Pablo Borgio, Joe Bouchard, and Tommy Litle all displayed confidence with the ball as they each had a hand in putting Eaglebrook on the scoreboard. Also of note, John Banker enthusiastically decided to try the face-off position, and was successful in winning a few key possessions for the team. With 15 seconds left in the game, we attempted to put away the game-winning goal; while we were not successful, the team displayed a no-quit attitude and everyone was willing to fight until the end. There are many positives to take away from this game, and we look forward to continuing to improve as we move forward.
