Well Done! Weston Drops Norwell, 13-5, to Stay Undefeated

One thing about the Weston High boys’ lacrosse team, it certainly distributes the ball well.

"We continued to get balance scoring from [our] midfielders and attackmen as we have all season so far," Weston head coach Jim Wilcon said, after his squad improved to 6-0 with a decisive 13-5 win over visiting non-league foe Norwell yesterday on the Weston Turf. "We now have 11 different players that have scored this year, and most of those goals come off an assist from somebody, not just one on one scoring."

The win was a bit of payback for the 'Cats, who lost to Norwell in the Division 3 state tourney semifinals last spring.

The Wildcats scored four quick goals in the first quarter, with attacker Joey Pasquale and midfielders Rob Crockett, Adam Guerin, and Matt Knight all doing the honors.

Weston got  four more goals in the second frame. Pasquale struck again twice for the hat trick, and attacker Jordon Fong and Geoff Ziobro also tallied. Fong later added two more strikes for a hat trick.

"We continued the pace and kept the pressure on,“ Wilcon said. "The pace of the game was where we wanted it to be, and we did a great job of attacking when the opening was there and slowing down and possessing the ball when it wasn't.”

The coach praised his top defensive line of Matt Atkins, Rob Bennett, and Owen Ward, and solid goalie Jared Fong for holding the visitors to just three goals in the first half. 

"The defense played great," said Wilcon, who also lauded fellow contributors Derek Shay, Greg Lanzillo, Matt Martin, Peter Scarpato, Jarrett Rowe, and Nick Coangelo for holding the fort in front of the Weston goal. 

"The defense stepped up many times to frustrate their offense," Wilcon said. "We played steady all the way through."

Weston visits non-league foe Hanover on Saturday.
