Ballard Beats Manual

Ballard Defeats Rival Manual 21-7, Louisville- The Ballard Men’s Lacrosse team defeated local rival Manual on Friday night, 21-7 in front of a large early-season crowd. The Bruins started off slow, allowing two Manual goals in the first quarter before the Ballard offense woke up late in the first quarter with a goal from junior midfielder Cary Walker. Senior attackmen Paul Fischer, David Spielberg and Jason Gilbert each tallied five goals in the game. By half-time, Ballard had the game comfortably under control, leading by a score of 12-3. Manual began a comeback run in the third quarter, scoring 3 quick goals. Lots of hard-hitting action in midfield created some difficulty for the Bruins bringing the ball down the field. But by full-time the Bruins had things back under control, putting away 5 goals in the fourth quarter, finishing the game at 21-7. The Bruins are now 3-1 overall this season, this being the first win this season in Kentucky league play. The next home game is this Wednesday, March 26th at 5pm.
