IPSWICH — On April 17, the North Reading High boys’ lacrosse team lost, 13-7, at Ipswich. That defeat snapped the Hornets’ four-game winning streak as they fell to 5-2 overall and 3-2 in the Cape Ann League.
The Tigers, meanwhile, improved to 4-2 overall and 3-2 in the CAL.
“We didn’t come off the bus in that first quarter,” said Hornets head coach Chuck Campobasso, as his squad trailed, 9-1, after the opening 12 minutes.
“They are a very good team and they were much better than us that day.”
PJ Conte led the Hornet offense with three goals. Brendan Gazda and Finn Rodger each had four points as each player had two goals and two assists.
