Second-ranked
St. Paul’s beat Gilman, 8-7, in MIAA A Conference lacrosse, on Friday
afternoon at Tullai Field. In front of a sun-drenched crowd the
Crusaders came out slow but surged ahead in the second and third
quarters with leads of 6-3 and 8-5, respectively. With the victory St.
Paul’s, now 7-1 overall and 2-0 in conference, remains unbeaten in
league play.
Midfielder Chris Clements dashed through Gilman
defenders all day to lead all scorers with three goals. Attackman D.J.
Hessler quarterbacked the offense from behind the net scoring one goal
and adding an assist. Attackman Adam Johnston fired in a goal as did
midfielders Thomas Galvin, Justin Donati, and Peter Smyth.
Goalkeeper
Stu Wheeler had another big game for St. Paul’s, making 12 saves as
well as several good decisions clearing the ball out of the defensive
zone. Scott Matthews made the defensive play of the game late in the
fourth quarter when he drove a Gilman attackman to the turf, quickly
scooped up the ground ball and found an open man up field. Defenders
John Windsor, Ty Boykin, Leks Gerlak, Peter Windsor, and Chris Wilson
all had a hand in shutting down a young, talented Gilman team that lit
up the scoreboard for 14 goals in their previous game.
Gilman
was paced by three goals from sophomore Jack Doyle. In addition, the
Greyhounds received two scores from junior Evan Redwood and three
assists from sophomore Davey Emala.
