Boys Lacrosse:

Pascack Valley 16, Morris Hills 5

When the original state seeding came out, Pascack Valley was slotted as the 4 seed and was supposed to play Nutley in the first round.

After a late change by the seeding committee, Northern Highlands took the 4 seed, Pascack Valley was bumped to the 5 seed, and Mahwah was the 6 seed.

Because of the changes, the Indians instead had to play Morris Hills in the first round of the state tournament.

As much as I would like to write about this game, there simply isn’t much to write about. Kevin Illian was dominant in the first half. He had half of Pascack Valley’s 10 goals in the opening 24 minutes.

Zach Beja recorded a hat trick in the first half and the Indians held a 10-2 going into intermission.

After adding 6 more goals in the third, the clock had continued to run and Pascack Valley ran away with a landslide victory.

With the win, Pascack Valley now plays Northern Highlands in the quarterfinals. This is a rematch of a game earlier in the season where Pascack Valley took a tough loss.

They will be looking to avenge that loss and make their way to the semifinals.

Only this time, a loss would end the best season this program has ever had.

Record: 16-2

Next Game: Tuesday, May 21^st at 4:30 against Northern Highlands (Away)

Pascack Valley fell to Northern Highlands in their final game on Saturday.

It has been a good season for Pascack Valley and they should keep their heads held high. Good luck to the seniors as they move on to bigger and better things.

I would also like to thank Allison Schramm for her updates throughout the season.

Record: 9-15
