Matanzas tops Nease in lacrosse
It took six years, but the Matanzas boys lacrosse team can finally say they beat Nease.

The Pirates (1-0) edged out Nease, 6-5, on Wednesday in the season opener — and the first game for coach Jeff Goren.

It marks the second time Matanzas beat Nease, and the first time ever on Nease’s field.

“This is one of the most intense lacrosse games I have ever been a part of,” Goren said Thursday morning. “My boys played with passion and intensity from the first whistle to the last.”

Jake Cohill led the charge with three goals. Josh Holbrook added one goal and two assists.

“Josh was all over the field, playing shutdown defense as well as contributing on our lethal man-up unit,” Goren said.

Gunner Parson and Yan Lishinski both added one goal.

Matt Gutierrez anchored the defense by continuously turning away the Nease Panther shooters, tallying 14 saves on the night.

Matanzas plays Flagler Palm Coat 2 p.m. Saturday, at FPC.
