Wilmington Pushes Past BHS Lax in Second Half

The Burlington High School boys lacrosse team led early, but host Wilmington took control early in the second half to improve to 4-0 on the season on Tuesday afternoon.

J.P. Scola notched a first half hat trick, Ryan McNeill added two goals in the first half and Billy Puirier also found the back of the net in the opening two periods to give the Red Devils a 6-4 edge at halftime.

But a Burlington stick violation gave the Wildcats a locked in man up situation to open the third quarter, and Wilmington took advantage with four goals in the opening two minutes to take control as they went on to a 13-9 victory.
