Boys Take Lacrosse Title

Boys Lacrosse makes History

After going undefeated against 3A

SPC opponents in the regular season, the St. Andrew’s Boys’ Lacrosse team secured the #1 seed in the conference tournament and were fortunate

enough to make a run for the title on their home field as St. Andrew’s hosted the 3A and 4A SPC boys lacrosse championship tournaments this spring.

The Highlanders took on cross town rival, St. Stephen’s, in the first game of the tournament. In a hard-fought battle, St. Andrew’s prevailed 9-7 behind strong performances from sophomore goalie Gus Stratton and junior Cullen Dawkins.

The win put them in the title game facing Trinity Valley, the #2 seed in 3A. After a back and forth first half, with multiple lead changes, Trinity Valley took control in the third quarter taking a 14-9 lead with

time winding down. But with seconds remaining in the period, St. Andrew’s senior attackman, Kris Latreille, put one in the net, creating a palpable momentum swing the Highlanders would carry with them into the fourth quarter.

The Highlanders dominated the final frame, holding the Trojans scoreless and finally knotting the score at 14 with 3:40 left in the game. The 2022 title would be come down to a “next goal wins” sudden victory scenario as they headed to overtime tied at 14. winning goal just over a minute into the extra period. Latreille was again the hero, beating his man from behind the goal and sneaking a shot past the goalie to secure the first title for the St. Andrew’s Boys’ Lacrosse program in the 15-14 victory.

Congratulations to first year coach, Chris Delfausse, seniors Aiden Cary, Josh Gilbert, Dexter Glassco, Stuart Kim, Chet King, Kris Latreille, Daniel Ledet, Luke Precourt and the rest of the coaching staff and players on an incredibly successful season and SPC Championship!
