Marin Catholics unable to meet in New Jersey

Marin Catholic's men's lacrosse team trailed for much of the game, but they managed to squeeze in host Chatham in Thursday's game in New Jersey, but lost 10-7. Harrison Tyler scored three points and Jake Holmes added two. Mack Berry and Tate Sedlacek each added a goal.

Holmes drove hard to the net from the open field and scored late in the third quarter, cutting Chatham's lead to 8-6. Tyler then scored his third goal less than a minute later, spinning the ball into the net to bring the Wildcats (10-4) within one point.

Chatham added two goals in the fourth and the Cougars played a lockdown defense to secure the victory over Marin Catholic.

The Wildcats' strong run in the Garden State continues Friday against Rumson-Fair Haven.
