Messalonskee boys' lacrosse clips Edward Little...After Messalonskee's Connor Smith scored the first of his three goals, giving the Eagles a seemingly controlling 5-2 early lead, the Red Eddies began mixing things up offensively. First getting an unassisted goal from Ganan Mancini with 4:27 remaining followed a minute later with a Cam Audette score quickly making it a one goal game.
"We lost momentum in the second quarter. They did things offensively like slowing things down that we just couldn't defend," added Sheridan.
Mancini tried to tie the score but his shot hit the post with 1:10 left giving Messalonsee a chance to get a goal back. Austin Pelletier's shot was stopped by Asselin setting up the games' equalizer with just 14 seconds left by Alex Landry to tie the game at the half.
"Our kids were ready to play today. We knew we could run with them and give them a game. Once we started scoring, their energy went up another level," added Dock.

Messalonskee boys lacrosse holds off Edward LittleEagles advance to Class A North semifinals.
...No. 3 Messalonskee improved to 8-5 on the season and will play at No. 2 Lewiston on Saturday in the semifinals. The Red Eddies finished 7-6.
“We played pretty well in the first quarter,” Sheridan said. “Second and third quarters were not our sharpest work. We’ve got a younger team. We graduated a lot of seniors last year. New leaders had to step up…At least we’re there (for the semifinals). Sometimes you don’t always win pretty, but it’s better to win ugly than lose pretty.”
Tied 5-5 entering the second half, Edward Little notched three goals in the third quarter off the stick of Gannon Mancini. Messalonskee answered with goals by Colin Kinney and Connor Smith, and trailed Edward Little 8-7 at the start of the fourth and final stanza.
