Game 1 of the New Season Series: Team Jarod vs. Team Shawn Ends in a Classic Deadlock

Last Wednesday night at Earl Nichols Arena, the new season series kicked off with Team Jarod and Team Shawn squaring off in a tight defensive battle that had all the hallmarks of classic summer box lacrosse. The benches were fresh, the rosters shuffled, and both squads wasted no time settling into their new identities.

It was Matt “Austo” Austin who broke the ice, opening the scoring in a first period defined by disciplined defense and sharp goaltending. Both teams were quick to close gaps, but when the defense did bend, the goalies stepped up with clutch saves. Team Jarod edged ahead 2-1 after the first, and maintained a slim 3-2 lead at the halfway mark when the netminders switched ends.

The chess match continued through the third, with Team Jarod clinging to a 5-4 advantage as the clock wound down. But with just 52 seconds left, Austo—who started the scoring—came through in the clutch again, burying the game-tying goal and sealing a hard-earned 5-5 draw. Both teams showed flashes of offensive creativity, but it was the commitment to defense and standout goalie play that set the tone for the night.
