SPRINGFIELD – The Westfield High School boys lacrosse team may have slipped out of the gates in its season opener, a 12-3 loss to Minnechaug on Tuesday, but the Bombers have quickly appeared to regain their footing.
Race Kiniry scored in double overtime to lift the Westfield Bombers past the Pope Francis Cardinals 16-15 Thursday.
Cam Theriault scored six goals, Race Kiniry (3 goals, 2 assists) and Chris Racicot (1 goal, 4 assists) had a hand in five scoring plays, and Zack Barouxis recorded a hat trick as Westfield nipped Pope Francis in a double overtime thriller 16-15 Thursday.
Westfield came out strong, outscoring Pope Francis 5-2 in the first quarter and 7-3 in the second before Pope Francis rallied for seven goals in the third quarter. Both teams played to a 3-all tie in the fourth, setting up the stage for a dramatic finish.
Kiniry scored the penultimate goal (unassisted) with about 90 seconds remaining in the second overtime.
Matt Collins, Mike Antonellis, Sean Rowbotham, Sean Talbot, Ryan Cimini, and Conor Connally played great defense in key moments to stop a very talented offense.
