SVHS Varsity Lacrosse Team Off to a Winning Start

The Scotts Valley High School’s varsity lacrosse team came away with two early season wins this week.

The first game was held away at Gilroy’s Christopher High School on Tuesday, Feb. 28, where Scotts Valley beat Christopher 15-1.

On Wednesday, the team traveled to Watsonville for another early season game. The Falcons return with an experienced squad from last year and stormed out of the gate to a 10-0 lead after the first quarter. The potent offense added eight more goals in the rest of the game. The final score was 18-2.

There were many goals created by a team effort. Multiple passes and good off-ball movement created many opportunities. The offensive effort was lead by Spencer Fogelquist with seven goals and two assists, Wesley Koenig with five goals and four assists and Collin Corbella with three goals and three assists. Bradley McClarnon chipped in two goals and one assist and Jake Rehnberg also tallied a goal.

The mid fielders showed good stamina and hustled for many ground balls. They also controlled the face offs, giving possession to the offense. The defense was lead by Cole Deblock, Scott Hunter and Pat Marigonda. They caused many turnovers, collected several ground balls and successfully cleared the ball to the offense many times. Goalie Chris Martin had a quiet day making three saves.

The Falcons are looking forward to their next game against Saratoga this Saturday.
