(PHOTOS) Hornets Stung by Eden Prairie

The boys lacrosse team hopped the border to Eden Prairie on Saturday, April 21, for what had looked to be a great Lake Conference matchup.

And while the final score doesn't show it, the Hornets proved their mettle after falling behind early. The boys struggled to get much offense going for the first three quarters of the game, scoring only three goals. Compared with the 13 Eden Prairie put up against them, it didn't look good for the Hornets.

The team rallied in the fourth quarter, however, completely turning the tables on their opponents. They managed five goals in the final quarter, while holding the Eagles to just one.

The Hornets are now 1-2 on the season, with a 1-1 conference record. Saturday's win brings the Eagles to 4-0 this season, 3-0 in conference games.

Edina was led in scoring by junior Derek Todd, who finished the game with two goals and two assists. Senior Danny Regan and junior Richard McGowan both had two goals and one assist, while sophomore Henry Rose had one goal.

Goalie Austin Dover made 20 saves in the contest, out of a whopping 34 shots on goal. Junior Willy Dugan won six of his 18 faceoffs during Saturday's game.
