Boys Lax and Baseball Fall Short

        Boys Lacrosse and Baseball teams stumbled over the last few days, with both dropping games to FAA foe Brunswick. On Friday, Baseball traveled down to Greenwich and faced off against the host Bruins, whose program has improved dramatically over the recent seasons. The Hornets ended up being mercied after 5 innings 15-0. The following day, Boys Lax made the same trek down to Greenwich, and though they battled well, also came away with a loss, 11-10. The team started out slow, going down three early, in large part from being stuck in weekend traffic and having to rush through warm-ups.  However, they closed the gap to 3-2 on a couple of great transition goals from Jeff Nugent and some great saves in the goal from Sam Jewett. Jackson Lalonde continued to be dominant at the faceoff, winning 12 draws throughout the game to keep the Hornets within striking distance. The team finally tied the score up at 6-6 early in the third quarter. The host Bruins surged ahead in the fourth quarter and led 11-8 late in the game. Sophomore Alex DiVicentis closed it to one after two excellent offensive possessions, but the Hornets ran out of time before they could tie the game. Despite the setback, the team hopes to rebound quickly, when they host a formidable Gunnery team on Wednesday.
