2011 Edition of Bishop Ireton lacrosse under new coach, Jon Reed
Joe Darville staked Bishop Ireton (0-1) to an early 1-0 lead and the Cardinals played a tough first half , but too much defense, not enough offense doomed the home team on the season opener and Coach Jon Reed’s debut as skipper of the Cambridge Road school 12-2 on Wednesday.
Darville’s early goal gave Ireton a temporary advantage, but Heights senior David Pim scored the first of four goals he would notch on the day to tie the contest at one apiece. It would stay tied after a quarter before Cole Estrate gave the visitors the lead with the first of two goals he would tally in the second quarter. Pim added his second and The Heights School (1-1) claimed a 5-1 lead at the half.
” I was very pleased with our defensive effort,” said Reed after the game. “It might sound strange given the score, but we played about 40 minutes of defense in a 48 minute game. The Heights is a good team and good teams will score with that much advantage on offense. We are going to have to find that guy that will step up and make the plays on offense for us.”
Pim scored two more Heights goals in the third stanza, when the Maryland visitors sealed the deal. Victor Haraongozo and mates on the defensive side of the field gave Ireton little room or opportunity to get back in the game. Darville managed to end the drought in the final period to round out the scoring for the redbirds.
The Cardinals will regroup and host Flint Hill School on Friday at Fannon Field, 4pm start with JV opener to follow.
