SANDPOINT — Sandpoint boys varsity lacrosse defeated Logos School 15-2 in their first Idaho High School Lacrosse League conference game Tuesday at War Memorial Field.
The Bulldogs took an early lead over the Knights by scoring five goals in the first quarter. The Knights on the other hand were not able to produce much offense at all; they were shut out going into halftime. Sandpoint would continue to dominate every facet of the game until the final whistle.
“The boys played great last night. We are exactly where we want to be at this point in the season. The boys are learning how to play as a 10-man unit; the support the boys are giving each other shows when our clears are above 90%,” head coach TR Page said.
Gabriel Linck led in the scoring column with four goals; Blayne Kanning added three goals of his own. Maksym Page, Austin Waud and Owen Wimmer each contributed two goals to the scoreboard. Adding one goal each are Joseph Aexel and Gage McElroy.
Three players tied for face-off wins: Forest Ambridge, Joseph Aexel and Owen Wimmer.
Getting the win in the net for the Bulldogs was goalie Ryan Doko who accumulated three saves on the night.
On Wednesday, the boys won their second game of the season in a blowout versus Immaculate Conception Academy, 17-0, in Post Falls. Page said it was their best team game by far.
Sandpoint (2-0) will be in action versus Ammon and Idaho Falls on Saturday, April 15 at Fort Missoula Regional Park in Missoula, Montana.
“We are super excited to travel to Montana. That weekend has been circled in on the calendar for sure,” Page said.
