The Fallston Cougars boys lacrosse team had its hands full at Havre de Grace Wednesday night in a key UCBAC Chesapeake Division game.
The upset-minded Warriors (3-2 league, 11-2 overall) led at the half and again through three quarters, but Fallston (5-0, 11-2) led late and that's what mattered in the Cougars 10-8 win.
Dylan Wolf (four goals) gave the Cougars the lead four minutes into the first quarter. Havre de Grace, though, had goals from Casey Brown and Colin Dean, 16 seconds apart, to go up, 2-1. Nick Esser and Kyle McKeever added goals for Fallston and Nick Burley scored one for Havre de Grace to send the game to quarter two tied at 3.
Chris Parrott and Brett Wilson scored back-to-back goals nearly five minutes apart to give the Warriors their biggest lead, 5-3, and with just 47 seconds left in the half. Fallston, taking advantage of a Havre de Grace turnover, scored with 8 seconds left to end the half. Matt Wollenweber did the honors with assist from Justin Williams.
Wolf tied the game at 5, just 56 seconds into the third quarter, but Kyle Barkley answered for the Warriors soon after to put his team back up, 6-5. Garrett Krug retied it with 3:45 left in the quarter and Havre de Grace went back up on Dean's second goal with 3:12 to play in the quarter.
Leading 7-6 with one quarter to play, the Warriors went cold. Williams tied the game again, 7-7, and with 6:10 left in the game, Wolf put the Cougars ahead for good with goal number three.
Williams and Wolf both scored again in the final five minutes, while three straight Havre de Grace possessions during that same time span ended without a shot on goal.
