The Lynn Jets lacrosse team battled through a back-and-forth game Tuesday morning at Manning Field, eventually coming away with a 6-5 victory over Malden in a Greater Boston League bout.
“It was great to see the guys battle back after falling behind early,” said Lynn coach Peter Pappagianopoulos. “It was a nice team win for us.”
The Jets had three players score two goals apiece in the victory, with Stevan Downey, Steven Difilippo and Nick Costa all finding the back of the net. Jayden LeBlanc played lock-down defense on Malden’s top scorer all day long, while goalie Nate Sisson made key saves down the stretch to keep the Jets ahead.
Lynn (3-2) is now off for more than a week before getting back in action next Thursday (4) on the road at Medford.
