Game Details - Boys Lacrosse

In a tight, defensive 5A semifinal, No. 3 Park City held No. 2 Olympus scoreless in the middle two quarters as the Miners prevailed 8-3 at Westminster College to advance to their fifth straight state championship game. The Miners will face top seed Brighton in the championship on Friday. Park City is 2-2 in the previous four title games, losing to Brighton 10-3 in last year's championship. Ian Marsland led the attack for Park City with three goals on Wednesday, with five other teammates recording single goals. Reece Smith helped the Miners maintain possession leading his team with four ground balls to go along with an assist. "We started the season as a young squad with a couple of strong se for leaders. Each day the team's been getting a little better and it's been fun to watch them grow," said Park City coach Michael Persky. "Today, the defense was outstanding. It started with Max Gordon making some great saves, but the whole defense led by Reece Smith played lock-down defense. We got two early goals from two different LSMs, Wyatt Williamson and Graham Brown. Our offense struggled early but settled in the second half and took control of the game," said Persky.
