2 Knights Lacrosse Battles Heat and Opponents at Rutgers Tournament

The facilities at Rutgers University played host to the lacrosse MVP Tournament July 5 through July 7. Teams from up and down the eastern seaboard took part in the competition.

The team from Bridgewater, represented by the 2 Knights Lacrosse Varsity Team, includes high school students from area schools, including Hillsborough, Seton Hall Prep and Bridgewater-Raritan High School. 

"We think the players should have the experience of playing with athletes in addition to those on their high school teams," said 2 Knights co-director Andrew Apel.

Despite strong play, the team unfortunately lost in Wednesday's game, 5-4.

Local teams from Ridge and Chatham were also part of the high school team programs. Ridge and Chatham's teams are fielded as "futures" teams and only include up-and-coming players from those high schools.
