Lacrosse Turns It On Late at Durham Academy


DURHAM - Halfway across the state, Nate Wilberding ’25 and Christ School lacrosse made all the right halftime adjustments Wednesday afternoon, flipping a tie game into a 9-4 win at Durham Academy. 

Nate scored a season-high five goals, including four in the second half. 

Other statistical leaders for the Greenies (3-2) were Caden Paradine ’25 (one goal, two assists) and Parker Beiland ’24 (one goal, three assists). Lucas Little ’24 turned away eight of the 12 shots taken on Christ School’s goal. Carter Sherwood ’25 won nine of 16 faceoffs and had seven groundballs. 

The score was 3-3 at the half. The Cavaliers (1-2) went without a goal for a 20-minute stretch that covered a portion of the second quarter, the entire third, and nearly half the fourth.  

Christ School returns home Saturday for a 2 p.m. game versus Cardinal Gibbons. Both teams are in the top-10 of the latest all-classes state rankings from High School OT (Cardinal Gibbons is No. 5 and the Greenies are No. 6).
