Boys lacrosse
Ac. of New Church 6, Hill School 5 >> After taking a 5-1 lead midway through the second quarter, the Blues’ offense went silent for the remainder of the game as Academy of the New Church chipped away at the four-goal deficit and earned a come-from-behind win.
Hill, led by sharp-shooting junior Carter Page (three goals), scored the first four of the second quarter. The visitors tallied three times during the final frame, and although Hill was able to call a timeout and set up a play with 30 seconds remaining, they failed to score and ANC ran out the clock.
