North Reading lacrosse coach Chuck Campobasso had no trouble with defenseman Conor Murnane grabbing the whiteboard and mapping out what his backline teammates needed to do. "He's a coach on the field and he knew what we needed to do," Campobasso said, and Murnane played a key role in chilling Danvers' hot start and sending the Hornets to a 7-5 comeback victory. "We settled down in the second half and our midfielders (Anthony Lytle, Mike O'Brien and Nate Seed) did well controlling the ball."

North Reading's boys lacrosse team allowed only two goals in the last three quarters in a 13-5 victory over Swampscott. Nick Day had three goals and three assists and Nate Seed adde three goals and two assists to lead the Hornets (3-0) on offense.
