Despite three goals from sophomore Jeremy Noble(Orangeville, Ontario), the No. 8/10 University of Denver Pioneers fell 12-9 to visiting No. 4 Loyola on Saturday evening in front of a sell-out crowd of 2,547 at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. “All the credit needs to go to Loyola,” said head coach Bill Tierney. "They are a great team and they really out-played us tonight. We didn’t play up to our potential. This game is a point of emphasis for us as we head into the final weeks of our season.” The Pioneers (7-4, 3-2 ECAC) also got two goals and two assists from Alex Demopoulos (Canton, Conn.). Juniors Cameron Flint (Georgetown, Ontario) and Eric Law (Centennial, Colo.) added one goal and one assist each. Freshmen Wes Berg (Coquitlam, British Columbia) and Eric Adamson (Anaheim Hills, Calif.) had a goal each in the loss. Junior Chase Carraro (Louisville, Ky.) tallied an assist and led the Crimson and Gold with 14 ground balls and 21 won face-offs. Senior Mark Matthews (Oshawa, Ontario) added an assist. Sophomore Matt Kramer (Littleton, Colo.) led Denver with three caused turnovers and freshman goalie Ryan LaPlante (Fort Collins, Colo.) made 12 saves in the loss. Denver outshot Loyola 39-34 (11-0, 5-0 ECAC) and won 21-of-25 face-offs. The Greyhounds’ went 4-of-25 on face-offs. Denver grabbed 32 ground balls while Loyola had 24.

National High School Lacrosse: Torrey Pines Boys Lacrosse (CA) Loses “Battle Of East Vs. West” 16-10 To Powerhouse Darien (CT) On April 14; Game Benefited “Nation’s Wounded Soldiers”


The boys lax battle of San Diego surf vs. the Darien Wave was, sure enough, a wash after one period of bicoastal play. In came the home town tide, as Darien went up 3-0 early, and out it went again just like nature wants it, as visiting Torrey Pines High came back to tie it 3-3. And so, it remained no day at the beach for DHS, until, the tide turned for good with six unanswered Blue Wave goals, lifting the hosts to a 16-10 victory in the “Battle of East vs. West,” played to benefit the nation’s wounded soldiers at Stadium Field on Saturday afternoon. “They were sticking with us, then third quarter, we just realized we had to break out,” said Wave high-scorer Case Matheis, who led the game with five goals and seven points. “Just like (with) the Wilton game last Thursday. They were hanging with us.” “We had a couple of goals that really surged our momentum,” Falcons attack ace Sean Doyle (four goals, one assist) said. “Coming right off the half, into the third quarter we definitely had momentum — scored a couple of really nice goals.” In picture above, Peter Gesualdi, #26, right defends against Falcons Connor Lansdale, #27.
