LACROSSE WINS FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON WITH 15-12 VICTORY
NEW LONDON, CT- Mitchell College claimed their first victory of the season in a hard fought and soggy game with Briarcliffe College Wednesday afternoon, 15-12.
The win was a fantastic send-off for exiting seniors Pat Hutton (Southington HS/Southington, CT) and Mike Roberts (Portland, CT) both playing in their final games of their college careers. Hutton, normally a goalie, played offense and racked up seven assists to go with a goal.
Though Mitchell trailed for the entire first half (5-3 after one, 8-7 at half), they came out strong in the third quarter taking the lead with a five goal outburst. They would not relinquish that lead in the fourth quarter as they would outscore Briarcliffe 3-2 to bring home the win.
Sophomore attacker Zach Ledvina (New Bedford HS/New Bedford, MA) supplied the Pequots with six goals and two assists. Freshman attackers John Kearney (Wellesley HS/Wellesley, NY) and Paul Pettini (St. Bernard HS/Mystic, CT) had four and three goals respectively. Junior midfielder Adam Mavromatis (Livingston HS/Livingston, NJ) scored a goal to round out the scoring for Mitchell.
