Varsity Lacrosse v. Belmont Hill School

On the day before Easter, the Eagles welcomed the Hill Toppers from Belmont Hill. The Eagles put together a stronger showing, but the team was up against another skilled opponent. There was a lot of transition during the game, and the opportunities were balanced on both ends. However, the visitors displayed good ball control and capitalized on timely dodging, extending their lead going into halftime. The Eagles showed signs of life in the remaining minutes, but the damage was already done. Brent Young added two goals of his own on the day and MacGregor Peterson added another tally to top off the Eagles scoring. Defensively, Cole Payton, Miikaal Griffith, Tiger Lee, and Doug Johnson all pitched in a solid effort. However, the Hill Toppers ability to gain topside caused fits for the unity and were able to find the open seams. Mikka Toika did a nice job of splitting time between close defense and long-stick midfield. Malcolm Arseneau displayed a tremendous work ethic while riding throughout the game at midfield. Offensively, possessing and being patient with their looks will generate more efficiency moving forward. Jun Park did a great job helping out with the clearing game, as well as the man down unit. However, the final score stood 13-3. The Eagles will get another shot at Belmont Hill this weekend as they prepare for the Groton Jamboree. The jamboree will include the Hill Toppers, Cardigan Mountain, Hillside, and Fessenden School.
