Boys lacrosse suffers tough losses
By Rongi yost
Correspondent
The boys lacrosse team
suffered two tough losses
this past week. Sisters lost
15-3 at South Eugene on
Monday, March 28; and on
Friday, April 1, they fell 16-3
at home against Marist.
I n M o n d a y ’s g a m e
against South Eugene, the
Outlaws were held scoreless
in the first quarter, while the
Axemen tallied three goals to
take the lead.
Ethan Morgan scored an
unassisted goal in the second
quarter to get Sisters on the
scoreboard, but at the half the
Outlaws trailed 7-1.
The Outlaws got a goal
from Morgan again in the
third, with an assist from
Bennett Lewis. Coach Eric
Wentzel told The Nugget
that the goal was an exam-
ple of the teamwork that the
Outlaws have been working
on in practice. Morgan cut
through the slot and Bennett
had a nice pass to Ethan in
a tight space, which he was
able to bury into the back of
the net.
Freshman Jude Carhart
scored unassisted for his
first goal of the season —
and Sisters’ final goal of the
game.
Senior Chase Lawrence
did a great job at face-offs,
and won 13 of 16 for over 80
percent. Samson Magnus led
the team with nine ground
balls.
“This was a tough game
for the team, with several
key players missing due to
spring break,” said Wentzel.
“It is also the first time most
of the team has played on a
turf field, which is very dif-
ferent than grass.
“South Eugene was com-
prised of all juniors and

seniors, and it was a little
intimidating to our younger
players. The good news is
that they held their ground,
especially toward the end of
the game. I’m proud of our
team and how we finished
the fourth quarter, and held
our opponent to one goal.”
On Friday, the Outlaws
suffered another big loss
against the Spartans.
Sisters held their own at
the start of the game, and at
the end of the first quarter
they were down by just one
at 2-1. Sisters’ goal came
from Samson Magnus with
an assist from Jude Carhart.
Marist completely took
over and put in 14 addi-
tional goals before the buzzer
finally sounded.
Sisters did have four shots
go off the goal pipes, which
if they had been just one inch
inside, would have resulted in
goals. What hurt the Outlaws
the most was the unforced
turnovers, which led to many

of the Spartans’ goals.
Ethan Morgan scored two
goals for Sisters in the second
half, the first with an assist
from Spencer Bordonaro,
and the second assisted by
Samson Magnus.
Carhart led the Outlaws
with 10 ground balls, fol-
lowed by Matt Harris, who
had nine. Goalie Casey
Warburton had a great first
quarter with seven saves,
which held the score to 2-1 as
they headed into the second
quarter.
Wentzel told The Nugget
he was pleased that all the

were due to great assists.
“We continue to see
improvements with the team
as a whole, even though the
scoreboard doesn’t always
show this clearly,” he said.
“We did come out of halftime
with renewed energy, but
failed to get enough points
on the board to turn the
tide.”
The Outlaws will play
at Churchill on Saturday,
April 9.
