A five-goal scoring blitz in the second quarter helped propel the boys’ lacrosse team to a 12-3 victory over Central Catholic in the second round of the state playoffs May 22 on Mike Walsh Field.

“All we have to do is what we’ve done,” said a spirited coach Will Harris, as he spoke with his team at halftime with the score already 7-0. And the undefeated Columbia League champion Cardinals responded with five more goals in the second half of the game.

High scorer for Lincoln was John Duffy with three goals in the first half. Two goals each were smacked in by Nick Marcey, Ben Bruce, and Will Holmes; and Lock Rohan, Grant Director, and Tom Laverde popped in one goal apiece.
