BURLINGTON — The Middlebury Union High School boys’ lacrosse team opened its season last week with a pair of road wins, defeating host Burlington, 11-5, on Wednesday, and Burr & Burton, 7-6, on Saturday.
The Tigers’ home game vs. Essex on this Monday was moved to Essex due to field conditions in Middlebury; game time will remain at 4 p.m.
On Wednesday the Tigers took an early lead in cruising to a win over the Seahorses, who moved up from D-II this spring.
Senior Jack Donahue led the attack with five goals, junior Kolby Farnsworth score four times, and freshman Bode Rubright debuted with two goals. Goalies Cam Devlin, a sophomore, (seven saves) and freshman Jack Rizzo (three) combined for 10 stops.
In Saturday’s victory over the Bulldogs, Donahue again had the most goals for the Tigers— three. Senior Lane Sheldrick, junior Ben Crawford, Rubright and Farnsworth each tallied one goal, Farnsworth and sophomore Ian Ploof each had an assist.
Devlin got eight saves in goal.
