RECORD:
7 - 4
Coach:
Ben Bartlett
Assistant
Coach: Joe Truncellito
Captains:
Tim Harsch, Ben LeBlanc
Boys' Varsity
Lacrosse vs. Falmouth
Won: 9 - 5
The Boys' Varsity Lacrosse
team got an opening day win over long-time rival Falmouth Academy.
Freshman sensations Tory Dumas and Servi Barrientos had outstanding
offensive games and scored more than half of the team's goals to
secure the victory. Co-captain Ben LeBlanc got off to a great start
also by contributing two goals in the victory. The other players
who got into the scoring parade were Barrett Cavanagh and Rob Goldstein
who each contributed with one goal apiece.
Boys' Varsity
Lacrosse vs. Hyde
Lost 4 - 10
Despite enthusiastic efforts
from the entire team, the Mariners lost on the road to a strong
and talented Hyde squad. Specifically, the team did mount
something of a comeback in the 2nd quarter, after falling behind
4-1 in the 1st , to close the deficit to two goals at the half [5-3].
Unfortunately, 2nd half penalties quickly extinguished any hope
to build on this positive momentum, especially since it paved the
way for the opportunistic Hyde man-up offense to rally with another
five goals to win convincingly. On a positive note, senior
tri-captain, Ben LeBlanc, added another two goals and one assist
to the effort; Junior tri-captain, Jared Carr, netted another for
the Mariners; and Barrett Cavanagh picked up his second goal of
the season. The all-senior defense played determinedly as
they saw much action in their end, while Brendan Schultz and Gray
Twombly shared goal tending duties.
Boys' Varsity
Lacrosse vs. St. Thomas More
Won: 13 - 5
Though the Mariners jumped
out to a commanding lead, 7-3, in the 1st half, the team put together
an even better overall effort in the 2nd half to win most convincingly,
13-5. Behind particularly strong performances from Ben LeBlanc
(4 goals, 1 assist), Barrett Cavanagh (3 goals, 1 assist), Jared
Carr (2 goals, 1 assist) and Tory Dumas (2 goals, 1 assist), the
offense capitalized quite successfully on many opportunities that
came its way during this contest. While suffering a major
loss to the team roster due to Hudson Hackett's shoulder injury,
the Mariners must regroup and forge ahead in their preparation for
next Monday's match-up against The Bancroft School.
Boys'
Varsity Lacrosse vs. Bancroft
Lost 2 - 14
While
hampered by some key injuries, the Mariners were simply outmatched
by a talented squad from Bancroft School. After jumping out
to a quick 2-1 lead in the 1st quarter behind scoring from Adam
Swist and Ben LeBlanc, Rocky Hill was effectively shut down by its
non-league opponent. Despite great goal-tending from senior
Gray Twombly (20 saves on the day), Bancroft's offense exploded
for 13 unanswered tallies during the remainder of the game.
Looking ahead, the Mariners look to regain their winning ways with
back-to-back games on Thursday and Friday versus Williams and Boston
Trinity, respectively.
Boys'
Varsity Lacrosse vs. Williams
Lost 1 - 9
Rocky
Hill met their match against a strong and talented squad from Williams
School. While the final score did demonstrate the host's productive
offense; it failed to reveal the strong goalie performances for
both sides, as each posted twenty saves on the day. Frustrating
as it was to be beaten so soundly, the Mariners can take pride in
how well they kept their composure throughout the game, receiving
high praise from both officials after the game for their notable
effort and overall good sportsmanship.
Boys'
Varsity Lacrosse vs. Boston Trinity
Won 14 - 1
The
Mariners bounced back with a convincing win over Boston Trinity
to wrap up a tough week on a positive note. Rocky Hill's offense
exploded with nine different players contributing to the overall
scoring. Specifically, Tory Dumas [3 goals], Jordan Farrales
[2 goals], Jared Carr [2 goals], Ben LeBlanc [1 goal and 2 assists],
Anthony DonFrancesco [1 goal and 1 assist], Nate Fleming [1 goal],
Adam Swist [1 goal], Rob Goldstein [1 goal], and Servi Barrientos
[1 goal] tallied points for the Mariners. Please stay tuned
as the next two weeks are busy with six regular season games to
play before the SENE playoffs begin.
Boys'
Varsity Lacrosse vs. St. Andrew's
Won 7 - 0
The
Mariners took command of this game from the first face-off, rotating
in all players regularly as a result. Once again, Ben LeBlanc
[3 goals, 1 assist] and Tory Dumas [2 goals, 2 assists] led
the team's offense. Anthony DonFrancesco and Jared Carr both added
a goal, while Phil Twombly, Adam Swist, and Servi Barrientos picked
up an assist in the effort. Defensively, Rocky Hill shut down
St. Andrew's completely as Gray Twombly and Brendan Schultz teamed
up to preserve a shut out on the day.
Boys'
Varsity Lacrosse vs. Cape Cod
Won 11 - 5
This Mariners core played
their best and most complete game of lacrosse this season versus
Cape Cod Academy. After an excellent effort in the 1st half,
Rocky Hill bore down to dominate CCA both on the field and the scoreboard.
Specifically, Ben LeBlanc [4 goals, 3 assists], Barrett Cavanagh
[3 goals], Tory Dumas [2 goals, 1 assist], Nate Fleming [1 goal,
2 assists], Servi Barrientos [1 goal, 1 assist], and Tim Harsch
[1 assist] contributed to the scoring. Hopefully, we can keep it
rolling against Falmouth Academy on Friday.
Boys'
Varsity Lacrosse vs. Falmouth
Won 8 - 5
Despite penalty troubles
in the 1st half, these Mariners played with much pride and poise
in all aspects of the game. Once again, Ben LeBlanc and Barrett
Cavanagh led our offense, both with 3 goals and 1 assist, while
Jared Carr [also with 1 assist] and Nate Fleming each tallied one
for Rocky Hill. On defense, seniors Tim Harsch, Andrew Brown,
Chris Cardano, Troy Dumas, and Gray Twombly stepped up with a huge
effort to shut down the Falmouth Academy offense, whether playing
in a “man-down” or “even” formation. Next week, the Mariners
face another busy schedule as they finish up with three important
league match-ups against St. Thomas More, St. Andrew's, and Hyde
en route to the SENE playoffs.
Boys' Varsity
Lacrosse vs. St. Thomas More
Forfeit (L)
Although we soundly defeated
the team from St. Thomas More by a score of 13-4, with Barrett Cavanagh
lighting up the net for team-leading 6 goals, a coaching miscue
forced the Mariners to forfeit the contest to this league rival.
Boys'
Varsity Lacrosse vs. St. Andrew's
Won 15 - 0
Boys' Varsity traveled
to St. Andrew's on Wednesday and played an all around team game.
Improved senior leadership, seriousness of purpose, and a total
team effort led to this win. Eight different players scored goals
and the defense backed by Brendan Schultz's 9 saves, recorded a
shutout in this late season league contest. I was proud of the way
the team handled the recent distractions and injuries, and felt
that they took great steps forward in building stronger character,
both as a team and as individuals.
SENE TOURNAMENT
Boys'
Varsity Lacrosse vs. Falmouth
Won 13 - 6
After giving up three
quick goals, these Mariners collected themselves on defense and
woke up their offense to tally eight unanswered goals before the
end of the 1st half. Rocky Hill added five more goals in the second
half as Falmouth scored several times in the waning minutes. Leading
this offensive barrage were Jared Carr [4 goals, 1assist], Ben LeBlanc
[3 goals, 1 assist], Barrett Cavanagh and Servi Barrientos [both
with 2 goals], and Nate Fleming and Andrei Hanzel with one tally.
This well-seasoned Mariner defense once again stepped up with a
huge performance to stifle most of our guests' offensive efforts
after its initial lapse in the first two minutes. Advancing to the
SENE finals this Wednesday, Rocky Hill looks forward to playing
a “complete” game against the league-leading Hyde School.
Boys' Varsity
Lacrosse vs. Hyde
Lost 6 - 18
Plain and simple, Hyde
beat Rocky Hill in the SENE finals, 18-6. All things considered,
the Mariners can be tremendously proud of their overall team effort
to match up against this all-around better squad. The Rocky
Hill offense was led by Barrett Cavanagh [3 goals], Ben LeBlanc
[2 goals] and Nate Fleming
[1 goal]. Undoubtedly, this has been a great season for this
band of Mariners.
Boys'
Junior Varsity Lacrosse
RECORD:

Coach:
Andy Washburn
Boys' Junior
Varsity Lacrosse vs. Marionapolis
Tied: 3 - 3
Boys'
JV Lacrosse ended with a 3-3 tie vs. Marionapolis on April 19th.
As this was our first game of the season, I felt that we had a very
successful outing against a bigger, older team who were playing
in their 3 rd contest. After a slow start, the team gained confidence
throughout the afternoon and played their best lacrosse into the
second half. Down by a goal in the final minutes, we were able to
tie the score on a great assist from the wing for a clean shot past
the Marionapolis goalkeeper. Our team dominated the final sequences,
but we were unable to put that winning goal in the net. All three
goals were scored off brilliant assists, as this team continues
last year's tradition of teamwork and unselfish play. We left the
field proud of our performance, disappointed in a tie, but hungry
for more practice, the next game, and the chance for a win.
Boys' Junior
Varsity Lacrosse vs. St. Thomas More
Won: 11 - 1
After giving up an early
goal in the first two minutes of the game, the team reeled-off 11
unanswered goals to produce a well-played victory at St. Thomas
More on Tuesday, May 1st. The squad showed great improvement in
skills and passing over their previous contest and certainly played
as a team. Eight different players scored, and 9 of the 11 goals
came directly off assists from teammates, proving the unselfishness
and growing maturity of this team. Once again, the game was approached
in a mature and serious manner as the team traveled, mentally prepared,
and ran through its pregame warm-ups. We still need to learn how
to physically, get off to a better start, as we can not afford to
give up early goals, but the energy, aggressiveness and level of
play continued to improve right through to the end of the contest.
This team continues to show its love of playing the game and they
seems to be more satisfied by their level of play, than by the final
result.
Boys' Junior
Varsity Lacrosse vs. Marionapolis
Lost: 3 - 7
Traveling
to Marionapolis, the JV Lax team responded with not nearly as good
an outing as we wanted for a game that we felt was winnable. We
started out slow and quickly fell behind by three goals after the
first quarter. After a stirring time-out speech, the team responded
with a bit more energy in the second quarter and played an even
match throughout the remainder of the contest. We never did play
up to our potential, and I hope, learned a valuable lesson about
showing up to compete every day. We will take this set back as a
learning experience and hopefully be more mentally and physically
prepared for our next contest.
Boys' Junior
Varsity Lacrosse vs. St. Thomas More
Won: 6 - 1
This JV Lacrosse game rematch
versus St. Thomas More was played on 5/11. We finally got off to
a good start in a game, scoring first and played the entire game
with good focus, energy, and improved skill. Teamwork again played
a role as we scored four of the six goals off of assists from teammates
generally stationed behind the goal. The team responded nicely from
Wednesday's loss with spirited play and enthusiasm, and was pleased
about their effort and result. It is fun to win, but better to have
played well, and thus deserving of the win.
Boys' Junior
Varsity Lacrosse vs. Falmouth
Won: 4 - 3
The
team traveled to Falmouth for a spirited contest on the Cape and
returned with a close win against and evenly matched Falmouth squad.
As a team, we all agreed that we did not play up to our potential,
but rode the outstanding hustle and scoring of Ivan Robertson as
he played an aggressive full field game, scoring three goals and
leading the team in energy and enthusiasm. Again with only two players
on the bench the majority of the team played extended minutes and
had to continue to work hard when tired and banged up. We were thankful
when the final horn ended the game, and we could repack the bus
for the trip back to Rhode Island.

Sailing vs. Portsmouth Abbey
Lost: 0 - 3
Our
sailing meet against Portsmouth Abbey proved to be a valuable learning
experience for our students, as we were able to use the lessons
learned in that meet prepare for Westerly. As coaches, we were extremely
pleased with the sportsmanship and upbeat attitude our sailors displayed
despite difficult sailing conditions, and the fact that they were
competing against much more experienced sailors. It is always great
as a coach to witness this conduct by your team, and to have them
seek advice for improvement after a tough loss.

Won: 3 - 1

performances in the heavy-air. This was our first home meet
for the year with new sails!
Coed Varsity
Sailing vs. Bay View
Lost: 2 - 3
Rocky Hill lost a close
one against Bay View Academy, although it was evident that the meet
could have gone either way. With Courtney Lada and Sarah Wineberg winning
each race, we clearly had the speed to upset Bay View. However, our
team was facing much more experienced sailors, and the teams of
Rudy Lapin Normann/Dan Ratigan and Campbell Walker/Walmen Dumaliang
should be commended for testing the talented Bay View sailors. We
are excited about our progress, and confident about the team's
potential for success at the RI State Championships.
Coed Varsity
Sailing vs. Hendricken
Lost: 2 - 3
Despite
a 3-2 loss against Hendricken on Friday May 4, the Rocky Hill sailing
team put forth one of its finest performances in nearly 3 years,
against one of the top sailing teams in New England. As coaches,
we are extremely pleased with the mental toughness and improvement
that our sailors displayed against Hendricken, and expect that our
team is well prepared for the RI State Champs. The teams of Courtney
Lada/ Sarah Wineberg, Rudy Lapin-Normann/ Dan Ratigan, and Campbell
Walker/ Walmen Dumaliang should be proud of their performances.
