Morristown Boys LAX Shoots Past West Morris, Advances to Tourney Semifinals

Being the lower seed didn’t matter. Playing on the road didn’t matter. Going into halftime down a goal didn’t matter.

And that’s why the Morristown Colonials boys lacrosse team was able to overcome the No. 2 seed West Morris Central Wolfpack Tuesday afternoon in the NJSIAA North, Group 3 quarterfinals, 6-4, for a berth in the semifinal round.

Colonial Chris Drake led the team with three goals and an assist, according to nj.com, with Brian Begley, Brad Gerik, and Kendall Rogers all adding a goal apiece.

A three-goal fourth period was the deciding factor for the Colonials after going into the break down 2-1, the report said.

In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Colonials have outscored their opponents 14-6.

Next up is No. 11 seed Randolph at Morristown High School on Thursday, May 22 in the semifinal round. The winner will advance to the title game and take on the winner of No. 4 Mendham vs. top-seed Ridgewood, also scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

The title game is set for Saturday, May 24.
