You could say the Lynn Jets of boys lacrosse were in a stressful situation Thursday night, facing a double overtime scenario against Somerville at Manning Field.
That said, Ian Brown put the team on his back late – tucking Lynn’s final four goals, including the winner in sudden death. The Jets (2-3) won an early candidate for game of the year, 6-5.
Other contributors included Jordan Em (goal), Alex Waterman (goal, assist), Jahir Maldonado (assist), and goalie Christian Serino who registered 30 saves.
The Jets seek a happy Friday as they host Saugus at 7 p.m.

Talk about a hot start. Swampscott upped its record to 4-0 after besting traditional archrival Marblehead in enemy waters. Sophia Ciciotti (5 goals) and Avery Laundry (4) combined for more than half of Swampscott’s goals.
Coco Clopton ripped a hat trick, Cecilia Tripp added a pair, and both Samantha Demady and Victoria Pierro found twine, too. Swampscott visits Salem on Monday.
Taking positives from a negative, Gretchen Smith (4 goals), Maddie Forbes (2), and Kathryn Commoss (2) led the Magicians (0-3), who also received 16 big saves from Molly Bullard.

Just one day after Saugus’ monstrous 15-3 win against Whittier Tech in which Violet Hawley (2 goals, 3 assists), Nina Penachio (3 goals, assist), and Jessica Valley (3 goals, assist) led the barrage, Thursday didn’t come with the same treat.
Penachio and Aly Mabee scored goals, but that was it for Saugus in its 15-2 defeat on the road.
