Hawks edge Eagles, fall to Rams in semis

The Bishop Hendricken lacrosse team won its opening round playoff matchup in a 6-5 battle with visiting Barrington last week.

The two clubs were tied at 2-2 at halftime and the Hawks would get back-to-back goals to take a 4-2 advantage. However, the Eagles would battle back to knot the score at 5-5. With less than a minute remaining, Hendricken would get a goal from Grayson Bruno to take the lead and get the win.

Teighan Jeremy led the Hawks with a hat trick in the victory.

“We have 11 seniors on the team and those guys do the brunt of the work for us. Teighan Jeremy had a strong game. We were getting a lot of shots on their goalie. It was a back-and forth game,” said Hendricken coach Dave Haddeland.

Hendricken had perhaps its toughest schedule ever this spring, facing the typical Division I teams throughout the state but also playing non-league games against teams from Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut.

Although the overall results were mixed, the Hawks turned it around late in the season and entered last week’s playoff playing their best lacrosse of the spring.

“I scheduled a pretty tough non-league schedule this year just because I wanted to be ready for the tournament. With all of the DI teams that we’re going to be playing, I wanted the guys to see that lacrosse is played at a high level all over the place,” Haddeland said. “We always have a great brotherhood here. They enjoy playing with each other, they are pretty close and play multiple sports together. It’s the last go around for them, there’s some urgency for some of them,” said Haddeland.

The Hawks turned around to face No. 1 seed La Salle Academy on Tuesday. The Rams were undefeated in league play this season and topped the Hawks 24-6 earlier this spring.

The Rams ended up winning the contest 22-7, ending Hendricken’s season and punching their ticket to the state finals. The Hawks wrapped things up with a league record of 6-4 overall.
