Landon Lacrosse 13 Severna Park 5

The eight time MPSSAA champions with an undefeated 2025 record and an IL 16 Public High School ranking arrived at Bethesda with talent, great coaching and boundless energy.

The windy 40⁰ weather did not deter the Falcons, jumping to a quick 2-0 lead (at 10:56 and 7:02) and the replied with two more tallies (at 5:23 and 0:58.5). Clearly they were ready to attack the Bears.

In between those two visitor goal scores, DEVIN STEWART’s pass to Aedan Cassidy @ 6:17  led tothe home team’s initial goal. On EMO Landon notched #2 with a pass from Aedan to Makana Neverosky @ 1:42.

The normally smothering ride team allowed the Falcons to clear 4 times and stop once, and the Bears’ usual success in transitioning from D to O was only 2and 1. The news at X and in the crease were equally disappointing. The Bears passing and shooting were both subpar.

1^st Period BEARS 2 FALCONS 4

Period 2 saw a significant competitive response from the White Jerseys. @7:54 Riley Lugar showed his offensive skills with an unassisted goal. @ 5:15 Jonas Hawkins beat the SP goalie with his patented rocket. The barrage continued; this time Sean Murray connected with Aedan  for his 2^nd goal @2:23.  

Stephen Riso put his jersey # 0, in the GA box on two SP SOGs. Landon put 7 SOGs. The X-man, Hayden Goozh, was 5/1 with a GB.  The home team cleared 7 out of 9 times, while the visitors were 4 and 3.

HALFTIME BEARS 6 FALCONS 4

After the intermission, the team from the White Rocks continued on their spree. The Falcons attempted to clear, but a Logan Cassidy helicopter check  resulted Makana Makana’s gobbling up the GB and scoring @11:04.  Soon thereafter Sean earned an unassisted goal @6:27.  On EMO Sean entered his 3^rd A in the score book when Sean distribution fed Caden Southworth @0:16.7

The young Mr. Riso posted another shutout for this 12 minutes. Hayden was undefeated at X with 5 wins. Clears: Bears 5 and 2; Falcons 4 and 2.
