The Huskies began their spring break with a battery, exploding for 10 first-half goals against Washingtonville on March 28. As the wind gusts carried across Highlands’ home lacrosse field, shrewd passing and communication brought three wins in the boys’ opening week of play.

Five goals by Logan Davis ushered the Huskies to victory. So did Highland’s second-quarter scoring torrent. As the wind whipped around their home field, the crew blew through the Wizard defense to notch 8 goals in 12 minutes. Luke Wiese and Mark Cureton had 3 goals each. Ben Yager also scored. After a red-hot Husky stretch to close the first half, AJ Nugent had the lone third-quarter score on either side.

Down double-digits after halftime, Washingtonville turned to its playcalling concoction. Even the Wizard goalkeeper traversed midfield toward Justin Caballero and the Highland goal. Like plenty of the Wizard rushes, it proved a fruitless trip. Anchored by Quinn Berean, the Highland defense recovered instantly, returning the game action to the Wizards’ half.

Poor passing on the Wizards’ part contrasted with Highland’s incessant offensive motion.

Highland’s second consecutive 13-goal, 7-assist performance saw all Huskies involved. Davis added a pair of assists to the game-high goal count. Yager passed a pair of his own, while Wiese, Trevor Coates, and Gio Maldonado each had one.

On March 26, Highland took on Rondout Valley, prevailing 13-4 behind 4 goals by Cureton. Yager added 3 goals and 2 assists. Wiese had 2 goals. Davis, Coates, Maison Bragg and Thalan Riley each scored one goal. Caballero had 5 saves on the Ganders; Gabe Swart added 3. Highland improved to 3-0 at the end of its three-game week, outscoring opponents 38-10 over the stretch.

The Huskies close March and welcome April with back-to-back contests against Newburgh Free Academy and Nyack; the league opener is scheduled at home against Our Lady of Lourdes, 4:30 p.m. on April 7.
