A red card turned La Salle's 3-0 lead into a championship thriller

PROVIDENCE – What initially looked like a stroll to its latest boys soccer state title suddenly turned uncomfortable for La Salle. The Rams went down to 10 men after a red card and North Kingstown scored twice in barely a minute. A three-goal lead was cut to a razor-thin margin, and La Salle was holding on desperately. Championship composure was required, and the Rams managed to summon it just in time to walk away with the Division I crown. Lucas Vrees wound up with the winner as La Salle edged the Skippers, 3-2, under bright sunshine at Rhode Island College. Brad Laforest scored twice in the opening 17 minutes, and Vrees added a third just out of halftime. The Rams seemed poised to run away with a first championship since 2023 before North Kingstown made things interesting.

"Then we rallied, figured out what we needed to do and got it done." This one turned in a flash when Niko Konichev was shown a second yellow card and sent off in the 59th
