Don Bosco Overpowers Bergen Catholic to Win County Title
Don Bosco pulled ahead and away from Bergen County in the third quarter to win their second consecutive county title.
The Don Bosco Ironmen outscored the Bergen Catholic Crusaders 5-1 in the third quarter of the finals in the Bergen County Lacrosse Tournament.
That scoring outburst made all the difference and propelled the Ironmen to a 10-6 victory and their second straight Bergen County championship.
The Ironmen had a rough go of it in the first half. Bergen Catholic goalie Matt Pedrick was on point early on and held the Ironmen to just three first-half goals.
