On an unseasonably warm night Thursday, our Santa Fe Christian Men’s Lacrosse team beat the Coastal League rival Francis Parker by a score of 13-2.  SFC’s record is 7-2 and 3-0 in the Coastal League.   

The defense shut down the Lancer’s offense allowing only 11 shots and 2 goals.  By comparison, SFC had 41 shots with 26 of those shots being shots on goal.  Leading the defense was DJ Tovtin (Senior) with 3 caused turnovers and a shot on goal.  Aaron Bold (Junior) had another standout game causing 2 turnovers.  Also causing turnovers were Seniors Sam Cooper, Bobby Berg, and Colton Lehberg as well as Freshman Ben Wakeham.  Sam Cooper was stellar between the pipes stopping 5 out of 7 shots on goal (71%).  Way to go defense! 

On offense, the Eagles pretty much had their way with the Lancer’s defense with 7 different SFC Eagles scoring points.  Brendon De Bont (Senior) lead the way with 3 goals and 2 assists (5 points).  Bobby Berg had 4 goals.  Colton Lehberg and Rylan Goodwin (Senior) each at 2 goals and 1 assist (3 points).  Also getting into the scoring column were Matthew Briggs (Junior) logging 2 goals and Trey Adcox (Sophomore) and Parker Guiltinan (Freshman) each having an assist.

A special congratulations to Colton Lehberg who recorded his 500th career faceoff win for SFC by winning the first faceoff of the game and then scoring a goal on the possession.   

The next game for the Eagles is Tuesday, April 12th at Poway at 7:00pm.  SFC is currently ranked 6th in San Diego County and Poway is ranked 7th.  Poway has a record of 6-3 and in their 6 wins have averaged almost 14 goals per game.   

Go Eagles.
