Boys’ lacrosse

The big news from the boys’ lacrosse world was a rare loss by defending Class A champion Brunswick Saturday at South Portland. The Dragons won their first three games by an average margin of 18-6, but despite holding an 8-4 third period lead, they wound up falling in overtime to the Red Riots, 10-9.

Aiden Glover had three goals and Connor Pendergast made 17 saves, but it wasn’t enough as Brunswick lost in the regular season for the first time since May 27, 2016.

“You don’t win all the time in life or in sports,” said Brunswick coach Don Glover. “We’ll analyze it and move on. We were up 8-4 but it could have been much closer. Connor played exceptional in goal and our defensemen played well. (South Portland) did a phenomenal job.”

The Dragons returned to form Monday with a 16-7 home win over Lewiston to improve to 4-1. After going to Edward Little Thursday, Brunswick hosts Morse Wednesday of next week.
