JSZ closes out the month of May with three games from the Non-Public state tournament. Check back as the highlights are posted throughout the evening!
Gill St. Bernard’s 8 St. Joe’s (Met.) 3 | Boys | Non-Public Second Round
No. 12/6-seed Gill St. Bernard’s boys lacrosse are state quarterfinal bound for the second straight year after an 8-3 victory Saturday over No. 18/11-seed St. Joe’s (Met.) in the Non-Public second round. Griffin O’Sullivan led the Knights with a hat trick, followed by Luke Greenseid with two goals. The hallmark, though, of the game for GSB was their defense which held the Falcons scoreless in the second half. Brayden Negvesky was St. Joe’s’ leading scorer with two goals, while Kenny Noonan added the other. The Knights now face No. 6/3-seed Don Bosco Prep in next week’s state quarterfinals.
