Baltimore Crabs 12, Laxachusetts 9

Laxachusetts and the Baltimore Crabs duked it out yet again for the U-19 High School Boys Championship. Both teams fought hard down to the last second, but it was the Crabs who prevailed in the end. Neither team was ever able to gain the lead for more than a couple minutes in the first half; and almost every goal was quickly answered with another by the opposing team. The Laxachusetts defense wasn’t afraid to play offense, with a couple of long pole defensemen running down to score goals. The Crabs had a slight lead at the half, and Laxachusetts stayed close behind. The Crabs gained a wider lead at the end of the game and held it until the end.
