contributed by: MCKINNEYLACROSSE

This past weekend the McKinney Varsity Lacrosse team traveled to Austin for three games. On Saturday afternoon they played St. Michaels and posted a 9-1 win. McKinney used a balanced scoring attack with two goals and one assist a piece by Nate Clark and Brody Kovacs. Jack McKane, Tyler Kovacs, Ethan Deshaies, Jack Tighe and Brent Weltner each tossed in a goal to finish out the scoring. The defense lead by long poles Josh Davidson, Conner Wilcox, Will Nevotti, Alex Zywicki, and D-middies Shane Puckett and Matt Stein, and was big in this game really limiting the shoots on goal. Jacob Moran provided 7 saves and Conner Burke added 4 saves while splitting the goalie duties.

Then Saturday evening McKinney traveled down the road and played their second game of the day against St. Andrews. The McKinney offence jumped out fast and again put a number of players in the scoring column. Nate Clark lead the way with 6 goals and one assist, Jack McKane added 4 goals and 3 assist, Tyler Kovacs 2 goals, Dakota Bell 1 goal and 1 assist, and one goal each from Satchel Million , Drew Campbell. Johnny Santos and Austin Spagnola also provide one assist each. Once again the defense played big as McKinney played a good portion of the game a man or two down due to penalties.

Jacob Moran provided 9 saves and Conner Burke 4 saves in goal as they again split the goalie duties.

Sunday morning with less the 14 hours rest the team then took on Lake Travis in what they knew would be a more difficult game. McKinney jumped out to a 4-1 lead but then a little fatigue set in and Lake Travis tied the game up 4-4. Following a time out McKinney then regrouped and pulled away to a 9-6 victory. McKinney’s scoring in this game was lead by Drew Campbell who posted 4 goals and one assist followed by Nate Clark with 2 goals and 4 assist, and one goal each from Ethan Deshaies, Tyler Kovacs, and Jack Tighe. Jack McKane also added an assist. The McKinney defense once again stepped up and put the stops on Lake Travis when they tried to come back a second time by not allowing the ball to enter the crease area and causing multiple arrant passes for turnovers. Jacob Moran added 10 saves in goal for McKinney.
