GHS Laxmen Upends St. Joe’s for Fourth Win in a Row

By: Paul Silverfarb

The Greenwich High School boys’ lacrosse team has been rolling lately. After falling to Fairfield Prep back on April 24, the Cardinals have run through its opposition and won four games in a row.

The latest was Tuesday night when Big Red traveled to Trumbull for a contest against St. Joseph High School and came away with a commanding 15-8 victory.

“It was a good win against a talented FCIAC opponent,” said GHS head coach Bobby Lutz. “We have played three in a row this week with Darien in less than 24 hours, so I think the boys lost a little focus in the first half but they regrouped and played well enough to secure another win.

Against the Cadets, Big Red was paced by Bryce Metalios, who finished with seven goals. As of press time, Metalios has 25 goals and five assists.

“Bryce is off to an excellent start, but to be honest, I am not that surprised,” said Lutz. “He can score off the dodge, in open space, or when cutting. He has hands like a goalie, so I tell everyone to just throw him the ball and he will catch and finish. We have been very lucky to go from Jack Feda to Bryce Metalios without skipping a beat. He’s only going to get better, so it will be fun to watch.”

In addition to Metalios, Greenwich picked up a hat trick from John Cataldo. James Pilc scored twice, while Chris Cataldo, Will Montesi, and Quinn Warwick each tallied a goal. Montesi led the way with two assists, while the group of Jack Cook, Brian Collins, and Flynn Milledge each netted one assist.

In net, Will Clemens finished with six saves for the Cardinals.

On Wednesday, Greenwich hit the road for a huge contest against Darien High School.

“We got a little banged up on Saturday and lost another player today, but I know they are now focused on a very solid Darien group,” said Lutz. “If you can’t get excited to play the No. 1 team in the state, why play at all?”
