Brunswick welcomed La Salle College High School to Mehra Natatorium for a Wednesday evening matchup, earning a 16-11 victory over the Pennsylvania program.

The Bruins jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the opening quarter, with Jackson Shaw ’28 scoring three consecutive goals before Brunswick spread the offense around. Crisp passing and quick catch-and-shoot finishes helped Brunswick establish control early, while Peter Saunders ’27 drew multiple exclusions to create additional scoring opportunities.

With the lead established, Brunswick opened playing time across the roster as La Salle, a gritty and determined opponent, began to cut into the deficit. The visitors pulled within five goals, but Brunswick continued to control the game while rotating lineups. All four Brunswick goalkeepers also saw a quarter of action.

The victory provided valuable game experience for the full roster as Brunswick prepares for the upcoming Cardinal Tournament.
