Lacrosse

The St. James boys lacrosse varsity ended the regular season with a narrow 7-6 win at Myrtle Beach Wednesday night.  A common theme for the year has been Hayes Cochran leading the team in scoring.  Hayes scored 4 more goals last night and ends the regular season with a team high 33 goals.  

In his first game as a varsity player, freshman Robert Marzano scored 2 goals while Luke Costa scored 1.  Kyle Ferro picked up the only assist on the night for the Sharks.

 

Gavin Garboski preserved the 1 goal win with 14 saves, with 3 of those saves coming in the final 2 minutes.

 

The Sharks have qualified for the 5A, Division 2 playoffs and will play #1 ranked Lucy Beckham next week.
