EASTHAM — Five Nauset High spring teams are headed to postseason play.
The boys lacrosse squad defeated Hanover 15-2 on Thursday’s Senior Night to end the regular season with four straight wins. The Warriors, who repeated as Cape and Islands Atlantic Division Champions with a 7-1 record, honored their 12 seniors before the game.
The Warriors led 1-0 after the opening quarter before adding five goals in the second frame. They never looked back, scoring another nine goals in the second half. They finished the regular season with a 15-3 record overall, second in the MIAA Division 2 Power Rankings and ranked 20th in the state.
Boys and girls lacrosse, boys and girls tennis, and softball all found out their postseason fates with the release of the playoff brackets on Wednesday after this edition’s deadline.
The Nauset boys and girls track teams placed 10th and 9th with 26 points and 29 points, respectively, at the Division 4 Track and Field Championships hosted by Notre Dame Academy last weekend. The boys meet was won by Burlington, and the girls was captured by Newburyport.
Sophomore Isaiah Robinson placed fifth and medaled in the triple jump with a personal record of 41 feet 7 inches, while classmate Aidan Brown was second in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.07.
Freshman Violet Roche was fourth in the girls triple jump at 35 feet 1½ inches and sixth in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:00.35. Senior Ceci LaBarge finished sixth in the discus and shot put with throws of 102 feet and 32 feet 7¾ inches. Sophomore Madeline Mahoney came in second in the 800 meters, setting a personal record of 2:21.70. Classmate Rhianna Sutherland was fourth in the 100-meter dash and seventh in the 200-meter dash at 12.64 and 26.24 seconds, respectively.
After a difficult start to the season, during which Nauset baseball had a 10-game run without a win, the Warriors ended their year with a come-from-behind 13-12 victory in extra innings against St. John Paul II on Thursday.
Nauset gave up six runs in the third inning and trailed 7-0 heading to the bottom of the third but responded with seven runs of their own to tie the game. They took the lead in the bottom of the fourth before the Lions made it 10-8. The Warriors couldn’t push a run past home plate in the fifth or six innings but scored four in the bottom of the seventh to send it to extras.
The Warriors got the winning run on a suicide squeeze by freshman Arthur Figueiredo with the bases loaded and no outs. They end their season at 7-12, winning six of their last eight games.
