Boys Youth Lacrosse Recaps

U13 Team 1

The Boys U13 Team 1 faced off against a tough Hanover squad and the game turned out to be a great one. The game was very close early on until Hanover ran off several straight goals while Cohasset kept missing on some great opportunities in front of the cage. Hanover would take a 5-2 lead late in the third quarter until Cohasset’s offense woke up and made a late push. Before Cohasset finally got going on offense, it was the play of goalie Brian Counihan and the D of Max Fitzgerald, Owen “Nighthawk” Bernsee and Aidan McHugh that kept the game from getting out of hand. Counihan and the D trio continually turned away Hanover and allowed the Cohasset O to find their stride.

Newcomer Ray Tolosko had a break out game and used his lightning speed to transition the ball at midfield and create some great scoring chances for the attack. On one play, Tolosko took a clearing pass deep in his own end and ran 50 yards before making a perfect pass to Alex Norton who then fired the ball to Michael Tesauro who ripped it into the cage. Cohasset continued to battle hard to come back in the fourth quarter and middies Liam McHugh, Liam McDonald, Drew Skolnick, Will Hoffman and Jack Curran all fought for ground balls and played strong D to spur the comeback. Norton was struggling with a leg injury but managed to stay in the game and moved to an Attack position where he scored the tying goal on a bull rush through half the Hanover squad. Team 1 just missed the winning goal with seconds remaining in regulation play and then lost a heartbreaker in overtime, 6-5. This is certainly a game where the score does not matter because the team did such an outstanding job playing shorthanded and never giving up, great job Team 1!
