Traverse City United top rival Petoskey on Senior Night
TRAVERSE CITY - The Traverse City United lacrosse team celebrated Senior Night in a big way, racing out to an early lead, and cruising to a 14-6 victory over rival Petoskey on Wednesday evening.

Petoskey would get a pair of goals later in the half to pull within three, but Traverse City’s Caleb Lewandowski scored a buzzer-beating goal at the end of the quarter to send the United into the locker room at the half with a 9-5 lead.
