Rangers Upend Nationally-Ranked Scots to Start Spring Break

3/13/2022 11:21:00 AM

Jesuit Dallas used a two-goal advantage in the second quarter and a stellar ground game to upend Saint Andrews (Fla.), 12-8, on Saturday in Boca Raton, Florida. In the first of three spring break games, the Rangers handed the Scots their first loss on home turf since 2016 as Jesuit, ranked No. 3 in the Inside Lacrosse Southeast Regional Rankings, topple the top-ranked team in the Southeast region and the No. 3 team in the nation according to the most recent Inside Lacrosse national computer rankings.

Senior McAllister Hobbs led the charge with six goals on the night, followed by three goals from sophomore Beckett Foley and individual tallies from senior Charlie Metz, senior Nate Duncan and junior Charlie Schmidt. Junior Billy Robertson snagged a team-leading seven ground balls, helping lead Jesuit to a 29-15 advantage in ground balls. Senior Connor Knight closed out the contest with eight saves, Foley added a team-high three assists and a caused turnover and senior Tyler Gazzam tacked on a team-high two caused turnovers, adding a ground ball.

Senior Will Reading won 10 faceoffs and secured four ground balls in the fourth quarter, helping the Rangers fend off a Scots offense that rallied late but was held without a goal during a nine-minute stretch of the fourth that allowed the Rangers take a dominant, six-goal lead. A key contributor to the victory was Jesuit's man-up unit, as the Rangers converted on three-of-four extra man opportunities in the fourth quarter.

Jesuit will continue its spring break trip on Monday, when the Rangers travel to Davie, Florida for 5 p.m. matchup against Western. The three-game trip will conclude at 5 p.m. on Tuesday when the Rangers square off against St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale.
