With a 10-3 win over Chesapeake High School, the boys lacrosse team won the class 3A/4A east regional championship and is now one victory away from returning to the state final.

The Seahawks will now face Howard High School in the state semifinals at Annapolis High School on Saturday. 

Matt Gaskins and Brandon Senft led South River to the 10-3 victory with three goals each, according to The Baltimore Sun. The Seahawks scored the first seven goals in the second half of play to secure a comfortable lead over Chesapeake.

South River’s victory ended a Cinderella run for underdog Chesapeake High. The Cougars had knocked off three higher seeded teams, including No. 1-ranked Northern High, to get to the region final.
