Strong 4th Quarter Spurs Boys Lacrosse to Comeback Victory Over NSA

The Dolphins traveled to Nansemond-Suffolk yesterday to take on the #2 ranked Saints in the TCIS semifinals, and despite a 5-goal fourth quarter deficit Cape Henry scored six unanswered goals to earn an 11-10 victory. John Everett's play in the final quarter was key to the Dolphins victory. Everett won all five face offs taken, giving Cape Henry a major victory in time of possession. From there the Dolphins showcased patience on offense and slowly chipped away at the lead until senior Phil White scored the game-winning goal with 2:19 remaining in the game. The defensive effort of Will Overman (11 saves), Weston Bradley, John Jepson, Neet Patel, William Jordan and Steven Sims clamped down on the Saints offense in the final quarter, giving the Dolphins offense the chance to earn the comeback. Colin Corcoran led Cape Henry with three goals and two assists. John Everett (two goals), Mike Maroon (one goal, four assists), Phil White (one goal, one assist), Austin Curran (one goal), Corey Mavromatis (one goal, one assist) and Garrett Kelly (one goal) rounded out the offense. The #3 ranked Dolphins will travel to Norfolk Academy on Friday to take on the #1 ranked Bulldogs in the TCIS Finals.
