Boys Lacrosse: Close call helped Springfiedld get re-focused

LOWER MERION — The Springfield boys lacrosse team has summited the mountain.

There is no denying that the Cougars are champions, having survived the most daunting gauntlet of a tournament that Pennsylvania (and maybe, high school lacrosse nationwide) has to offer in winning the District One title.

The realization of that goal required a re-stoking of the competitive fires before tackling the next peak. And the opponent that nearly extinguished that fire may prove the most instrumental in reigniting it.

There’s a sense among the Cougars (19-4) that its PIAA Tournament dream is already on its second life, having withstood squandering a four-goal lead then prevailing in overtime with a 9-8, twice-delayed win over Hershey in last Wednesday’s first round. That revitalization informs the preparation for Tuesday’s semifinal against Central League rival Radnor (4 p.m., Haverford High).
