Sports Roundup: Boys Lacrosse Beats Pembroke

This Whaler sports roundup includes an update on the boys lacrosse team following a road victory over the Pembroke Titans, the girls lacrosse team following another victory, as well as the boys and girls tennis teams.

Boys Lax Picks Up Impressive Road Victory

The boys lacrosse team went on the road to play one of the stronger lacrosse programs on the south shore in the Pembroke Titans Tuesday afternoon and won 7-5 to improve their record to 4-0 this season.

Jeremy Jenkinson was once again sensational in net. The senior captain finished the game with 14 saves. Senior midfielder Arann Hanlon led the team with three goals and added two assists in his best offensive game to date in the young season while senior attacker Marco La Chuisa scored two goals, Nolen Mosscrop and Andrick Mooney each scored one goal (Mosscrop had one assist), and Jake Grant added an assist.

Whaler head coach Sam Aloisi acknowledged that Pembroke had a strong team and are tested by their difficult schedule. Nantucket led 4-2 after one quarter and found themselves in a 4-4 tie at halftime. They scored three goals in the third quarter to pull away and enter the final quarter with a three goal lead, which was more than enough for a strong Whaler defense supported by one of the state's best goalies.

Nantucket's schedule doesn't get any easier, and that is by design to test an experienced Whaler squad that has their eyes set on having a successful regular season that can prepare them for another deep state tournament run. They will be hosting the Falmouth Clippers on Thursday, April 9th at 4 p.m.

Girls Lacrosse Remains Undefeated Following Win Over Sturgis West

The girls lacrosse team continues to have a strong start to their spring season and improved their record to 4-0 following a win over the Sturgis West Navigators 14-2 Tuesday afternoon.

The Whalers had eight different players score goals for them in this matchup. Sophomore Louisa Beni continues to thrive and led the team with three goals. Grace Hanlon, Dylan Damian, Grace Schroeder, and Maddie Boulter each scored two goals. Finley Herlihy, Rowan Paul, and Rosie Sullivan scored one goal each.

Senior Carley Ray led the team with three assists while Quinn Canty and Damian each tallied two helpers.

The Whalers will try to improve to 5-0 when they travel to play the Sturgis East Storm on Thursday, April 9th at 3 p.m.
