"It's very unusual," coach Jimmy Borell said of the few goals allowed. Much of the credit goes to the defense and to Andrew Golden, a junior who handles face-offs. He's at 92.4% winning face-offs for the 5-1 Cubs, whose only loss came to San Francisco's St. Ignatius 12-11."
"The top goal scorer has been Tripp King, the reigning Southern Section player of the year and North Carolina commit. He has 22 goals and 17 assists Senior Chase Hellie (Tufts commit) and Everett Rolph have been leading the defense, making things easy for goaltenders Will Russo and Garrett Flynn."
Loyola's high school lacrosse team is performing exceptionally this season with commanding victories of 29-0 over Sierra Canyon and 28-1 over Crespi. The team's 5-1 record showcases strong defensive play, with coach Jimmy Borell noting the unusually low goal totals allowed. Junior Andrew Golden excels at face-offs with a 92.4% winning percentage. Reigning Southern Section player of the year Tripp King leads offensively with 22 goals and 17 assists. Senior Chase Hellie and Everett Rolph anchor the defense, while goaltenders Will Russo and Garrett Flynn benefit from strong protection. The Cubs' only loss came to St. Ignatius 12-11. Loyola will travel to Florida and Notre Dame to face top East Coast teams.
