Staff Report
The crazy, topsy-turvy Inter-Ac League boys’ lacrosse race will finally be decided today when Haverford School travels to Springside Chestnut Hill Academy at 11 a.m.
If the Fords (13-6) win at SCHA (9-10), they will claim their third outright Inter-Ac title in a row with an 8-2 record and take the top Inter-Ac seed in the upcoming Inter-Ac Invitational.
Haverford School ATT TJ Malone has been a key scorer
If Springside CHA triumphs, Haverford will tie with Malvern Prep and Episcopal Academy for the crown; all with 7-3 records.
Episcopal forced its way into the title race with a stunning 8-7 victory Friday over Malvern (16-5), scoring six straight goals to erase a 6-2 deficit. LSM Conner Delaney scored twice and six other tallied once for EA (10-4), which swept the Friars this year – both by one goal.
Other keys for EA Friday were the play of goalie Jake Floyd Jones (10 saves) and face-off specialist Griffin Ernst (9 of 18), who neutralized Sean Christman.
The Inter-Ac Invitational opens Monday with four first-round games. The preliminary brackets can be found here.
