Big Mac Lacrosse Team Chomps North Hills Indians Thursday

The Boys lacrosse team continued its winning ways Thursday night with a 12-7 victory over the North Hills Indians at Martorelli Stadium in West View.

In a very physical contest, the Big Macs built up a six-goal lead early in the third quarter and answered each valiant attempt at a North Hills comeback with a goal of their own.

Connor Niemeyer had a hand in half of the Canon-Mac scores with five assists and a goal. Richie Leeds added two goals and an assist and three other Big Macs—Matt Maletta, Nick Podlaszewski and Andrew Hendal—netted two goals each.

Sophomore goalie Noah Baertsch also turned in a strong performance with 14 saves. The win boosts the team’s season record to 6-1.

The JV team continued its very strong season by extending its unbeaten season-long streak to six games with a dominating 12-1 over North Hills earlier in the day.

The Big Macs return to Canon-Mac Stadium this evening with a 6 p.m. game against Allderdice High School.
