Lacrosse Preview: The Eagles head to the Plateau

The Issaquah Eagles head to Sammamish to face the Eastside Catholic Crusaders. The Crusaders are coming off of an upsetting 9-10 loss against Bainbridge. The Crusaders have been on a dry streak losing 3 games in a row and look to bounce back against Issaquah. The Eagles are 3-8 going into the game, and EC is 5-5. Both of these teams need a win to motivate them and help get their season on track.

This should be a close game both of these teams are pretty even and both are a competitive group. Issaquah has to look out for one of the top players in the state Cam McColly. He is Top 5 in state for points scored and recently set a school record for most goals in a game he scored 10 goals. He averages 4.7 goals a game. Issaquah has some solid D poles who will challenge McColly. EC has had some changes between the pipes, and the team is expected to make a change in its starting goalie.

Issaquah also has some good scores like Michael Hyde who averages 2.9 goals a game. Issaquah is also on a dry streak they have lost 5 games in a row and their last win was from Bend Caldera in late March. Issaquah averages 12 goals scored on them, and they score only 6.8. They have a ratio of 64 goals allowed and only scoring 34. EC has scored 74 goals in this season so far and have allowed 67 goals. This should shape up to be a shootout.
