The Cambridge Bears men's varsity lacrosse team hosted the Gainesville Elephants on a cold Tuesday night under the lights at CHS. It was an uncharacteristically rough and physical game – and one the Bears dominated on every front.
Tensions continued to run high in the second half – with both teams committing too many unnecessary roughness penalties. Even so, Cambridge continued to crush the Elephants – and controlled the game by dominating time of possession. Defense was tight in the third, but the Bears still managed to put one in the net – Sophomore Alex Sichynsky connected with a lefty bouncer with 6:50 remaining. Smith added another late in the fourth -- completing his second hat trick of the season.
The Cambridge defense posted another solid performance, led by Sophomores Raleigh Cassada, Josh Kania and Prezzano. Goalie Aaron Contreras was once again a wall in the cage – limiting Gainesville to just one goal scored late in the second half. The Bears came out on top – besting Gainesville 8-1 – after a brief delay with 30 seconds left -- when the field lights shut off.
