With the score tied at 5 all after 12 minutes of play, the Ward Melville boys lacrosse team fell into a rhythm in the second quarter, shutting down the visiting Longwood Lions Thursday afternoon April 3. The Patriots held Longwood scoreless in the second half to cruise to a 17-7 victory in the division 1 matchup.

Ward Melville senior attack Liam Banks led the way for the Patriots with four assists and two goals, and teammates Loius Montellese and Bohdan McLaughlin both notched an assist and three goals apiece for the win. 

Longwood keeper Jason Biondi had 10 saves in net and Colby Alister stopped five for the Patriots.
