The high school boys’ lacrosse season is rapidly drawing to a close.
The final regular season game for the Woodstock Academy Centaurs is Saturday against Griswold.
If the Centaurs don’t want it to be their last game, period, of the season, they need to win three of the four games they have scheduled for the week.
The Centaurs are still stuck on four wins in the 12 games that they have played.
“Just to get a play-in game, we need three more wins,” first-year coach Michael Noel said. “The good thing is, we can have three wins if these guys play up to their talent.”
The Centaurs, coming into the week, had a game against the Norwich Tech-Windham Tech cooperative, a program they had already beaten, 12-9, this season.
They also play host to Montville. The Indians downed the Centaurs earlier this year, 6-5.
And then, on Thursday, a home game against St. Paul Catholic.
The Bristol-based school has posted a 12-1 record this season. In those 12 wins, St. Paul has outscored its opponents by 196 goals or an average of over 16 goals per game.
The Centaurs close out against the Wolverines, who are the opposite of St. Paul, having won only one of its 12 games thus far.
The Centaurs had hoped to pull out a win last week to make the final week a little easier, but it was not to be.
The Academy lost to Stonington, 7-5, at home May 8 and then fell to Bacon Academy May 10, 17-7.
“I expected two tough teams coming in here,” Noel said. “We played pretty decently against Stonington. We held strong with them, had a nice comeback, but, once again, it wasn’t enough. It’s that whole fourth quarter thing.”
Ryan Wojciechowski raised his goal total to 15 on the season, tied with Ethan Holcomb for the team lead as he put together the hat trick against the Bears.
Guerin Favreau added two goals and an assist in the loss while Holcomb had two assists, Ethan Haass had one and Carson Hadley made 12 saves.
The Centaurs fell behind early against Bacon Academy.
The Bobcats put five of the first six goals on the board before Liam McDermott scored off a Holcomb dish with 12 seconds left in the first quarter to cut the deficit to 5-2.
It didn’t get any better in the second quarter.
Haass was the only player to find the net for the Centaurs and the Bobcats scored four more times to make it 9-3 at the break.
“I was very disappointed with our defense,” Noel said.
The Centaurs also had to work on their penalties. They were whistled numerous times in the first half which made life a lot easier on the Bobcats.
The home team did come back a little in the third quarter. After Bacon scored first to open the half, Favreau (14 goals this season) took passes from Wojciechowski and Holcomb and put two balls into the net and Sean McCusker tallied to cut the deficit to four, 10-6. But they could not sustain it. The Bobcats scored two goals in the final minute of the third and two more in the first 90 seconds of the fourth to put the win away.
