Although the Lafayette boys lacrosse program is not a school-sponsored sport, the team looks to have a successful season.
From March 22-24 the team played three games in Baltimore, MD where they took on top-ranked opponents. Their record after a stretch of tough competition ended at 3-1.
Their first victory came against St. John’s Catholic Prep, a small boarding school in Frederick, MD, with a score of 11-8.
The Lancers’ toughest opponent was that of Georgetown Prep, the nation’s oldest Jesuit school and ranked 6th in the nation, where they faced their only loss with a score of 15-0.
The team turned it around the following day and defeated another small boarding school in Maryland, St. Vincent Pallotti Prep, with a 12-7 victory.
After a successful three days of lacrosse at the end of spring break, the Lancers were proud of their efforts and look to have a great season.
Senior Ben Perez hopes to make his final season of lacrosse memorable.
“We have a great team. If we play together and play to our ability we can go far this season,” Perez said.
The Lancers defeated rival Marquette on March 14 with a score of 15-1.
On March 29 the team will take on SLU High School at Crestview Middle School at 6 p.m. in hopes of a big victory.
