Greenwich High School’s boys lacrosse team celebrated its Senior Night in style, rolling to an 18-0 win over Norwalk High School in an FCIAC game held on May 8 at Cardinal Stadium.

“It was nice being out there with (Norwalk coaches) Paul Burke and Chris Parisi again,” Greenwich coach Bobby Lutz said. “But unfortunately, Norwalk is too young and inexperienced right now.  It was Senior Night, so it was a nice game to honor the Class of ’24 and get them maximum playing time.”
