A solid defensive game in lacrosse is vital to the success for any team, and the same has held true for the Southern Regional boys lacrosse squad so far this season. Through 13 games, the Rams have allowed more than six goals just once (an 8-6 loss to non-Shore Conference rival Mainland Regional several weeks ago).

Otherwise, the Rams’ defense has been lights out. It was on May 5 when they ousted division rival Toms River North, 11-3, in the first round of the Shore Conference Tournament.
