Landon Lacrosse 14 Cardinal Gibbons 7

The Crusaders of Raleigh, NC, much to their credit annually come North to sharpen their skills. The team is 36-0 in the last 3 seasons’ conference play. They have amassed a roster of players who hone their skills on summer club teams. On this Spring trip to lousy weather, CG lost to Springfield- Delco and Bullis at halftime was a 5-4 advantage, 3^rd period deficit of 5-9 and a final score of 8-10.

The visitors did not fare well against the Bears who scored on their first 3 shots and after 15 SOGs, the home team had a 6-0 lead.
