On The Road to Success
The road warriors are off to a fast start, winning four of their first five games, including beating up on Mass Maritime 19-4 for their latest win in there current three game winning streak. Their only loss came from Univ. of New England in a close 8-5 stunner. The PSU Men’s Lacrosse team has been playing extremely well, working together to achieve the goals set out for them, to win the Little East Conference.
Paving the way for the Panthers is the starting goalie, Chris “Turkey” St. George (Marblehead, Mass). The anchor of the defense has been playing incredible, saving 67% of opponent’s shots on goal, and allowing only 5.2 goals-per-game.
When asked about how he has been so successful Turkey stated, “The defense, every shot I get is usually a savable shot. They always keep them outside, and even if they get a shot it’s still going to be from like 18 yards, there not letting anyone inside that much.”
St. George attributes his success from how well the defense is playing, and if this team continues to win, Turkey will have to continue to trust that his defense can stop any offense in the conference.
“This year I feel like everyone is more comfortable with each other, and people know their roles and understand what they need to bring each day. If one person fails than everything’s not coming together.” St George believes that if this team continues to have fun, than the wins will continue to stack up.
While St. George is a brick wall in goal, the offense has been working on all cylinders, scoring 10.8 goals-per-game. Leading the way is senior captain Nick Morello (North Billerica, Mass.), who is the team leader in scoring with 11 goals, and the team leader in points with 16. Coming in close second is senior midfielder Aaron Boss (Keene, NH) with 9 goals, 14 points, and Nicco Sorrentino (Chelmsford, Mass.) with 8 goals, 14 points.
St. George has revenge on his mind going into their next game at Western Connecticut. Last year he tore his ACL, ending his season. “I tore my ACL in that game last year, so I’m kind of happy that we have them next, but East Conn is another big game because their head coach this year used to be my assistant coach at Hartford, so there is a personal rivalry there.”
After winning four out of their first five, the PSU Men’s Lacrosse team looks to continue their success with stellar play by their goalie Chris St. George, and their attack. The schedule doesn’t get any easier though, with the top teams still ahead. They play West Conn this Saturday and East Conn at home for their last game on Friday, April 24th.
