AUBURN — Four extra days.

That’s what the Brunswick High School boys lacrosse team had to wait after Friday’s season opener was postponed due to inclement weather.

Four days to prepare. And four days to be restless.

Edward Little, meanwhile, took on rival Lewiston on Saturday, giving its younger players a game under their belts.

It hardly mattered when the hungry Dragons came calling at Walton Field on Tuesday, rolling to a 17-6 Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference victory, dropping EL to 0-2, with Mt. Ararat slated to visit on Friday.

“They’re a fantastic team, well-coached and great in transition, and transition hurt us a lot,” EL coach Steve Cobb said of Brunswick. “We tried to stay positive, but we gave up a lot of goals and it was hard for us to keep up.”

“We knew that we were a good team, but you are never really sure that first game,” said Brunswick’s Ryan Croatti, who scored four of his game-high seven goals in the first quarter as the Dragons claimed a 7-1 lead. “The start was great. We pushed hard and it all came out good.”

Brunswick controlled possession in the first half as midfielder Elliot Boyd won nine straight faceoffs. The Dragons outshot the Eddies 34-9 in the opening half and led 9-2.

“We had a very good start, and the kids had good intensity, good composure and forced them to take some penalties,” said Brunswick coach Don Glover, who praised Boyd. “We won 20 of 24 face-offs. Elliot did a good job with the clamps, and Ian (Schlosser) was doing a good job in the wing play, along with Zach Hamm. Possessing the ball really paid off for us.”

Matt Brooks picked up his third first-half assist on Croatti’s sixth goal early in the second quarter for an 8-1 lead for the visitors, and Cam Glover had two goals and a helper in the opening half.

Edward Little received a first-half goal each from Bryan Uwaechia and Corey Morin.

Cobb made a few changes to begin the second half, a strategy that worked early.

“This is a resilient group, they make adjustments and they have fun every day,” said Cobb after his squad cut a 9-2 halftime deficit down to 10-4 early in the third quarter on a goal each from Johnny Boyd and Trevor Haley. “The kids responded to the adjustments we made at the half, and once they won a couple ground balls and started to make some plays, things went a little bit better.”

However, Brunswick reeled off five consecutive goals to put the game out of reach from there.

Haley added a second goal, with Matt Adams beating Brunswick netminder Chris MrVichin (10 saves). In the Eddies’ cage, goaltender Matt Berube made 19 stops.

For Brunswick, Cam Glover had three goals and two assists, Bailey Caparrato two goals, Alex Croatti two helpers, and Hamm, George Rowe and Boyd a goal and an assist each.

Brunswick held a 50-31 shots advantage.
