Boys Lacrosse beats CSH, falls short in Texas

Garden City 4, Cold Spring Harbor 3

In a closely contested matchup, the Garden City Boys Varsity Lacrosse team emerged victorious over Cold Spring Harbor, 2022’s class D NY State Champs with a final score of 4 to 3. The Trojans got off to a strong start with a goal from James Paisley, but CSH quickly matched Garden City’s goals to tie the game at 2 to 2 going into halftime.

The second half saw a defensive battle, with both teams struggling to find the back of the net. However, the Garden City defense led by Tristan Mullahey, Cole Webber, Mathew Kephart, Luke LeSueur, Owen Wuchte and Blake Cascadden stepped up their game, shutting down the potent CSH offense.

Notable play by: Aiden Considine, Carson Kraus, Sawyer Olson, Denis Fargione. Strong faceoff work from Brayden Robertiello and RJ Votruba.

Garden City would go on to score two more goals in the second half, with Henry Gibbons and Andrew Ottomanelli, (his 2nd goal on the day) finding the back of the net, taking 4 to 2 lead. Despite a 3rd quarter CSH goal, the Trojans shut the door in the 4th quarter for the win.

It was a great team effort by Garden City, with solid performances across the board. The defense was particularly impressive, limiting CSH to only three scores on a total of 8 shots on goal for the game, while the offense was able to out duel the tough CSH defense to find just enough scoring opportunities to secure the win. Garden City is now 4 – 1 on the season.
