Cape boys’ lax wins two games by 39-6 combined score
The Cape boys’ lacrosse team won a pair of home games in less than 24 hours by a combined score of 39-6.
The Vikings shellacked winless Sussex Central April 30 18-0, then came back May 1 to beat Tower Hill 21-6.
Cape’s regular season has just three games remaining: Wednesday, May 5, at Sussex Tech; Saturday, May 8, at unbeaten Sanford; and Thursday, May 13, at home versus IMG Academy of Florida.
“These last two games have given us a chance to work on some offensive rotations and given some younger guys game experience,” said coach Mark D’Ambrogi. “The shooting in practice is starting to pay dividends, and our ground ball to fast break transition has gotten better. Both C.J. [Fritchman] and Chancler [Johnson] have done a great job of winning us the ball on face-offs. Our defense has not had as many opportunities to bear down and get stops on extended possessions. We work on it in practice, in preparation for games down the road.”
The first round of the boys’ lacrosse tournament will begin Tuesday, May 18, at the site of the higher seed.
The state championship game is scheduled to be played at Dover High on Saturday, May 29.
