The first quarter was all Bristol Central in their boys lacrosse season opener against St. Paul under the home lights Saturday at Bristol Central High School.
The Rams came out firing and led 5-1 at the end of the first quarter. By halftime, however, the Falcons were up 6-5 after owning the second quarter. St. Paul erupted for six more goals in the third quarter to seize a 12-7 lead.
In the fourth quarter, St. Paul’s defense seized control and helped the Falcons close out a 15-8 victory.
St. Paul returns first team All-Western Connecticut Lacrosse Conference performers Eric Passeck (senior), Darek Wiecki (junior) and Kevin Ashworth (sophomore). Passeck, Ashworth and freshman Tucker Raymond accounted for 12 of the 15 St. Paul goals, according to a story on The Bristol Press website. Freshman David Harold also stood out for the Falcons.
