McKinney Lacrosse Varsity Runs Past Plano

contributed by: MCKINNEYLACROSSE

 For the first time ever McKinney and Plano played a regular season lacrosse game tonight. Plano plays in the DI Division and McKinney in DII and as a result the teams have never met in a regular season game till tonight. The McKinney team came out fast scoring 4 goals before Plano could post its first. Using speed and ball movement the McKinney attack and middies ran past Plano all night long in posting an 11-2 victory. The McKinney defense lead by Conner Wilcox, Will Nevotti, Josh Davidson, Alex Zywicki, Shane Puckett, Matt Stein barely made a mistake all night. They constantly forced the Plano team to move the ball around the perimeter and hardly every allowing them to complete a pass to the crease area. The McKinney scoring was lead by Nate Clark with 5 goals and 2 assist, Brent Weltner with 2 goals and one assist, Jack McKane one goal and 3 assist, Ethan Deshaies and Tyler Kovacs each added a goal. Drew Campbell added 2 assist and Austin Spagnola one assist to round out the McKinney scoring. Jacob Moran was big in goal posting 9 saves and then quickly outleting the pass to move the ball up field.

McKinney next takes on Southlake another DI team on Thursday night at 7:30pm at Al Raushhaupt Park and then on Saturday at 3pm they will host Stony Point from Austin at McKinney North High School.

The McKinney JV posted a season opening win for themselves by beating the Plano JV 3-1. Much like the varsity the JV used speed and constant pressure to stop Plano.
