Brunswick School’s varsity lacrosse team is off to a 3-0 start to its season, following up a season-opening home win against St. Sebastian’s School with an 11-5 victory against visiting Radnor High School on Wednesday and a hard-fought 12-11 triumph on the road against rival Deerfield Academy today.

In their victory against Radnor High School (Pennsylvania), the Bruins took a 1-0 lead three minutes into the game on Syracuse-bound Payton Anderson’s goal. Radnor answered with an extra-man goal, making it 1-1 midway through the opening quarter.

After that, Brunswick dominated the rest of the opening quarter, possessing the ball for several minutes before Graham Burchill made it 2-1 thanks to a physical groundball and assist by Anderson.

Before the end of the half, the Bruins scored three more goals after several offensive possessions. The first came at the 6:43 mark of the second quarter, with senior attackman Casey Quinson (who will play lacrosse Colgate) netting an impressive low-to-high shot, giving the Bruins a 3-2 lead. The second goal followed less than three minutes later, as junior Sean Ryan put one in off passes by Quinson and Anderson.

Radnor scored the next goal, but the Bruins answered shortly after with a hard sweeping dodge and shot by Hudson Hausmann (who will play at the University of Virginia), upping the Bruins’ lead to 5-2 going into the second half.

Impressive offensive play was complemented by a very tough defensive performance led by seniors Luke Hublitz (Virginia), Robert Plath (Georgetown), and goalie Tucker Williams (Brown). Junior Aiden Diaz-Matos had an outstanding performance, going 17/18 at the face-off X.
