The Bucs were right where they wanted to be at the halftime break.
After falling behind quickly in the first quarter, including four straight goals from Caesar Rodney High in the first few minutes and a 6-2 deficit heading into the second quarter, Milford High fought back and stayed in the game.
The Bucs outscored Henlopen Conference Northern Division boys lacrosse foe Caesar Rodney, 3-2, in the second quarter and trailed just 8-5 at the break.
Unfortunately, the Riders’ offensive attack proved too much in the second half as Caesar Rodney pulled away with the 17-8 division win Thursday, May 6. The loss dropped the Bucs to 3-10, while improving CR’s record to 8-4 and snapping a three-game losing streak.
Bryce Wells was happy to be back on the field after missing more than three weeks of action.
The Milford High senior midfielder scored a hat trick in his first bit of action since suffering a shoulder injury March 29 as his Bucs defeated Sussex Central High 22-1 at Briggs Stadium Wednesday night.
“It feels pretty good being back out here with my brothers,” said Wells. “I missed them, it was a long three weeks, I can tell you that, but being back out here and playing with them was exciting … It’s definitely a big confidence-booster we needed it. We lost a few games by one or two goals, but it feels good to get a win against a conference team.”
