Tigers junior Liam Broderick weaved through the North Rockland defense to score seven goals, as the Raiders concentrated on stopping the Tigers huge attackmen, Brendan Johnson and Kevin Trapp. “They were locking-off Brendan which left a lot of space on the left side to just doge and move and that was exactly what we did,” commented Broderick.
However, despite the Raiders staunch defense, Johnson was able to score five goals in the game, which made him the Tigers All-Time Leading Single Season Scorer with 67 goals. “It feels good. It is a goal of mine to be one of the top players in the school and I feel we are doing pretty well as a team as well,” said Johnson, who will return next year for his senior season. Trapp will follow in his older brother Michael’s footsteps and play Lacrosse for Washington College, in September.
