Friday: Three Games in Nice Weather

May 20, 2011 -

It's hard to imagine in May that the headline would be that we finally had a nice day for lacrosse, but given the rain and stormy days this season, today's warm and generally sunny weather was more than a pleasure. Canandaigua made use of the day, playing on Evans Field and beating Penfield 9-5. Geneva won a 14-1 make up game from yesterday against Newark and Mynderse Academy edged out Midlakes 15-14 in another makeup from Thursday.
