CSN boys lacrosse unable to slow Saint Andrew's in Class 1A semifinal
The Seahawks were no match for the Scots, which handled business with a 15-4 running clock win at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples.
Before the Community School of Naples boys lacrosse team could settle in, Saint Andrew's was already gone. Long gone. The Scots (20-3) handled business for the second time this season against the Seahawks, winning the state semifinal in Naples 15-4 to advance to the Class 1A title game against rival Benjamin on Saturday, May 9.
It's CSN's biggest loss against an in-state foe since Benjamin won by 11 goals last season. "We played very well against a very good team and an excellent goalie," Saint Andrew's coach Tony Seaman said. "We shot the ball really well, which made me really happy.
" Nick Testa and the Scots got off to a hot start, with the senior netting three of their six goals in the first quarter to take a 6-0 lead. CSN got one with under 10 seconds remaining in the frame on a cross-field pass from Pierce Szymanski to Cale Austin, who beat Theodore Loucas. "They were better than us today," CSN coach Keith Lee said.
"They are a very good team, a force to be reckoned with. Wish them well. Hopefully, it'll be a competitive game (on Saturday), but all the best to those guys.
