Smyrna lacrosse fans showed up at Legends Stadium in large numbers May 17, cheering loudly for every face-off win, every ground ball picked up and each goalie save.
The Eagles, under coach Tom Incontrera, are a collection of rugged athletes who can catch and throw, and they don’t do dumb stuff. They entered the game with a 9-5 record.
Cape commenced to methodically dissect the Eagles’ defense, jacking it up for a 19-1 halftime lead, then shutting it down in the second half to win 23-2.
Fourteen different players scored for Cape, with 12 of the 23 goals coming off assists.
Goal scorers for Cape versus Smyrna were: Jack Schell with four; Brexton Carter with three; Joe Coveleski, Luke Burton, Ryan Morgan and Anderson Smith with two each; and single goals from Mike Guenther, C.J. Fritchman, Cody Trivits, Jahden Cannon, Burke Healy, Evan Burris, Andrew Wolak and Hank Anderson.
Assists were: Burton with three, Guenther with two, and single assists from Trivits, Cannon, Thomas Gibbs, Jack Huss, Brady Mauro and Morgan.
Mason Trench had two saves, while Gus Musika had four.
Smyrna’s stats were not available.

The postseason DIAA brackets will be released Sunday. There are some fat-cat records as a result of soft schedules.
The talk outside the fence by veteran lacrosse watchers was that anything other than Sallies and Cape being in opposite brackets would be a travesty.
