Boys Lacrosse
Class A Semifinals
(2) McQuaid 10, (3) Penfield 6
An explosive 3rd quarter from McQuaid helped book their ticket to the sectional title game. It’s the Knights’ first trip to the championship round since 2007 when they fell short to Geneva. McQuaid has never won a sectional title in lacrosse.
It was a low-scoring game in the first game as it was 2-2 heading into halftime. However, McQuaid outscored Penfield 7-2 in the 3rd quarter to put the game out of reach.
Henry Coke led the way for McQuaid with a hat trick while AJ Quagrello pitched in two goals. For Penfield, Ethan Austin had a team-high three goals which all came in the second half.
McQuaid (13-3) will face Pittsford in the Class A sectional final. The top-seeded Panthers defeated Hilton 12-5, leading 9-0 after three quarters. Jackson Green and Ian Erskine both scored hat-tricks for Pittsford.
The championship game will take place on Tuesday, May 30th at St. John Fisher at 7:30 pm. It will be the first meeting between the two squads this season.

This is Wayne’s first sectional title game appearance since 2019 when they lost to Geneva. The Eagles are seeking their first-ever sectional title.
