Boys Lacrosse Continues Hot Start With Comeback Win

The Wilmington High School boys lacrosse team is in the early stages of what it hopes to be a turnaround season. And on Tuesday, the Wildcats used a Burlington mistake to complete a turnaround in a Middlesex League clash at Woburn Street School.

While Wilmington trailed, 6-4, late in the first half, the Red Devils were called for an illegal stick late in the second quarter. As a result, the Wildcats went on to score four goals in the opening two minutes of the third quarter, taking the lead for good as they held on for a 13-9 win.

Ryan Kennedy scored three goals in the first half alone, and went on to notch five goals and two assists in the win. Also leading the way for the Wildcats was Brian Priem's four goals. Justin MacKinnon scored two goals within about 15 seconds during the early second half outburst, and added two assists on the day.

Also putting together a strong day for Wilmington was Mitch DeAmbrose, who fired home two goals and dished out five assists.

The Wildcats are now 4-0 on the season, an impressive start for a program that has historically struggled. Next on the schedule for the locals is a road tilt against Melrose on Friday at 4 p.m.
