NA Upended In Season Opener By Mt. Lebanon
The 2016 season began for the North Allegheny boys’ lacrosse team on Monday night with an 18-5 loss to perennial power and reigning WPIAL champion Mt. Lebanon. The game was a rematch of last year’s WPIAL title tilt but the Tigers could not earn a measure of revenge in this non-section contest.
Junior Alec Vissotski tallied a hat trick and a team-high eight ground balls to lead the way for the Tigers offensively. Sophomore Weston Powell and junior Peter Barrante also scored goals for North Allegheny.
Junior Greg Ferringer, who missed time at the end of last season due to injury, made a considerable impact in his return to the field with a team-best five forced errors.
North Allegheny sits at 0-1 following the loss, while Mt. Lebanon is 1-0. The Tigers will host the Seneca Valley Raiders on Wednesday night in the Division 1, Section 2 opener. The game will be broadcast live via the internet on the North Allegheny Sports Network.
