The Varsity Lacrosse players sure do know how to stress out their fans!  In a nail-biter of a game, TJ beats Washington-Lee High School in OT 9-8.

TJ came out slow and was outscored and outmaneuvered in the first half, trailing at half time 1-5.  With an angry TJ team, they came out much inspired in the third quarter and went on to outscore Washington-Lee 4-2 to end the quarter down, but not out at 5-7.  With five minutes left to go in the game, TJ was down 5-8, but managed to fire it up and tie up the game at 8 all to go into over time.  With back and forth play, the fans were on the edges of their seats, yelling and screaming at the tops of their lunges.  At about 2 minutes into overtime, Tom Hillenbrand, assisted by Dev Mehta,  takes it to the goal, and wins the game!

Great job Colonials!
