Boys lacrosse looks to build on strength in midfield for success

Noah Reiser, Sports Writer
March 19, 2024
The boys lacrosse team works on their defense. The boys look to build off strong midfield and depth.

Coach: Matt Will (5th Year)

Last year’s record: 11-9

Key Returners: Charlie Haller (Sr.), Daniel Ax (Sr.), Donald Duffus (Jr.), Ben Torres (Sr.), Joe Massaro (Jr.), Colin Foley (Sr.), Owen Deady (Sr.)

Key Losses: Nate Lewis, Roman Adams 

Strength and Weakness of team: “[Our] strength is our athleticism at midfield. We have fast guys who can play and can outrun people,” Will said. “What we need to work on is our defense, as we are replacing guys who have played for a long time.”

Outlook on the season: “We just need to play up to our potential and we can win the league and get a top-four seed in the state tournament,” Will said.
