A big win and a very tough loss. I am not sure if ‘Pulmanary Pirates‘ will ever catch on, but this team will make you hold your breath. With their third one-goal victory in as many games, two of which in overtime, the boys eked out a 6-5 win over the Hoggard Vikings with standout defensive play. The game was every bit as tight as the final score, with a playoff-type intensity throughout. It was a gutsy performance as they battled illness and injury to secure the victory. It wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win. For the girls, last night was a tough, tough loss. Down 0-4 early, they battled back to take a 10-8 lead with just over 5-minutes left in the game. But the Lady Pirates were not able to find the back of the net and hold the lead, ultimately falling to the Vikings 10-12. Both teams are likely to finish 2nd in conference play, but both have beaten the conference champion. Playoff lacrosse is just around the corner.
