RIDGEWOOD — It certainly had been an up-and-down season for the Ridgewood High School boys lacrosse team to date.
Goalie Jack Cardew (25) and defenseman Thomas Tarleton (3) protect the Ridgewood net from Somerville attacker Bryan Rogers last Saturday at RHS Stadium. The Maroons capped their Lax Day contest with a 10-1 win.
Chalk it up to an extremely tough schedule and the fact that the Maroons, who began the season 3-0, are a relatively young team in search of an identity.
After the hot start, Ridgewood went through a 3-4 stretch capped by a tough, 7-5 loss at New Canaan (Conn.) leading up to last Saturday’s Lax Day showdown with undefeated Somerville (8-0) at RHS Stadium.
“Obviously, we’ve had a bit of a tough start to our season,” senior attacker Matt Shippee said. “It’s been very frustrating for us, because we know we can play better [than we have].”
The Pioneers took an early 1-0 lead on a goal by Jared DeLouisa. But the Maroons went on the offensive and scored 10 unanswered goals in a dominant, 10-1 win.
