DEFOREST — The La Crosse Lightning boys lacrosse team is still searching for its first victory after a 9-2 defeat at the hands of DeForest on Friday.
The Lightning are a first-year varsity program comprised of players from Central, Logan, Aquinas, Luther, Onalaska, Holmen and West Salem, and this game against the Norskies represented its first road trip after losing games they hosted in Galesville on Saturday.
La Crosse scored both of its goals in the first half and trailed 3-2 heading to the third quarter. Luther junior Jax Hendrickson and Onalaska senior Shawn McKane scored goals for the Lightning, and Central senior Grant Veum assisted on both.
Luther senior Brant Hundt was the Lightning goaltender, and he made 19 saves.
The team travels to Green Bay for games against Green Bay Notre Dame and Pulaski on April 12.
