This past Thursday; April 20th, The Green Level Men’s Lacrosse team faced off against Holly Springs Hawks for the second time this season. The first time these teams faced this season, the Gators took away the win 10-6. Going into this second game there was a lot of tension and the Hawks were looking to take this win. Josh Smith said no, Josh went the whole game without losing a single faceoff against Jack Varga leading us to a 7-6 win. Also co-leading the Gators to the win, middie Maxwell Shell and goalie Ethan Stein with SHUTDOWN defense in the second half, holding them to zero in the second half.

I talked to a few of the players about the game.

How did you contribute on Thursday night?

Maxwell: “I really energized the bench and got everyone on their feet motivating our players to play stellar defense”

Josh: “I just try and do my part and help the team in any way possible, I played them last time and knew his play style and I made some adjustments and it really helped in my favor getting me 100% on the faceoff X on the night”

The Gators have two more games and then they head into the playoffs. Good luck! Go Gators!
