North Shore Lacrosse

On a Sunday morning that started with a major upset, the combined team of North Andover and St. John's knocked off higher seed Masco during the Wildcard matchup.  With the win, NA/St.J's moved on to the semifinals where their cinderella morning ended in a tough loss to Homegrown.  

Leading up to the Championship game, semifinalist Wakefield fell behind early but did manage to claw back to strike withink five with five minutes to go.  As most know, a five goal lead vanishes faster than a snowflake on the ocean, but to the credit of HG's stellar goalie, the team held on and took home the North Shore Lacrosse Fall Ball League title. 

Congratulations to the home team Homegrown-and enjoy the Christmas/New Year's break!!
