Boys' Lacrosse: Monday and Tuesday's Top Games (5/16 and 5/17)

Monday 5/16

#3 Fairfield Prep @ Daniel Hand @ 7pm
-Although the Jesuits beat the Tigers 10-6 in the second game of the season, that's the closest any SCC team has come to beating Prep so one can expect another great game!

Xavier @ Cheshire @ 7
-Think of Prep v Hand as the 1 v 4 game in the SCC tournament and this one as 2 v 3.  The only thing is that this game will most likely decide who is the 2 seed and who is the 3 seed in the SCC tournament next week as both of these teams have only two in-conference losses (X: Prep and Hand, C: Prep 2x), Prep has none, and Guilford and Hand each have 4.  The only other possibility, major upsets aside, is Cheshire has a game left with Guilford this Wednesday.  Basically, the control their own destiny: a win here and they have the #2 seed; they did lose to Simsbury and Conard this past Saturday, both teams Xavier beat, so it won't be that easy.

#2 Greenwich @ Lakelnad/Panas (NY) @ 7
-Greenwich has their fifth and final shot at picking up an out-of-state win but it will be very hard as Lakeland/Panas beat Rye (NY) 8-7 and Rye just beat Greenwich 10-8 in a very close game this past Saturday!

Tuesday 5/17

#8 Staples @ St. Joseph @ 4pm
- With a win here, Staples can slide up to the six seed in the FCIAC tournament and face Greenwich instead of Ridgefield, moving Wilton from the six seed to the seven seed.

Southington @ #9 Glastonbury @ 430
-If Glasotnbury picks up the win here like they should, their game against Simsbury later this week will be the deciding game for the number one seed in the CCC tournament.  Don't sleep on Southington though as they are a talented team just waiting to pull an upset.

Avon @ Somers @ 430
-I want to show Somers some love as they are 12-0 but their best win all season was 11-7 over Avon earlier this season.  Avon is 9-4 but as a barometer of how bad they really are, they lost 1-12 to Coanrd.

Hall @ Stonington @ 6
-At 14-0, Stonington represents the best team from the ECC; they beat Norwich Free Academy and Ledyard twice.  They close out the season with Hall, who they have a very good chance of beating, and then Guilford, who, most likely, will beat them.

Norwich Free Academy @ East Lyme @ 7
-A good ECC match-up worth noting this late in the season.  East Lyme is 10-3 after beating Guilford 6-5 in OT to open the season and, most recently, only losing 9-12 to Hand.

Yorktown (NY) @ #5 Wilton @ 730
-Wilton will end their season by hosting the #3 team in New York's Section I and the #1 team in New York Section I B, York town.  Yorktown lost to Darien and Ridgefield but beat Somers, who beat New Canaan (who beat Wilton).  It should be a very good game!
