The undefeated Christian Brothers Academy boys lacrosse team cruised to a 22-12 victory over Westhill on Friday, led by a dominant offensive performance. Senior Jack Wichmann paced the Brothers with 7 goals and an assist, while sophomore faceoff specialist Jerrick Decker won 81% of his draws to fuel the attack. CBA jumped out to a 12-6 halftime lead and extended it to 18-9 after three quarters, marking the first time the team has scored 22 or more goals in a game since 2019.

Why it matters

CBA's defense has been the team's strength so far this season, limiting opponents to 10 goals or fewer in six games. But this offensive explosion shows the Brothers can also overwhelm teams with their scoring ability, making them a formidable opponent as the playoffs approach.

The details

CBA coach Jeremy Boltus credited Decker's dominance at the faceoff X as a key factor in the team's offensive outburst. The sophomore won 30 of 37 draws, good for an 81% success rate. Wichmann led the scoring barrage with 7 goals and an assist, while senior Vincent Lazzaro added 4 goals and 3 assists. Sophomore Andrew Sullivan (4 goals, 1 assist) and junior Jack Vaughn (2 goals, 1 assist) also contributed to the offensive onslaught.

What they’re saying

“Honestly, it was great. It kind of feels like we've been stuck on 12-to-13 (goals a game) for almost two years now, but it is nice to actually see we can reach that level. I'm happy to see that the offense picked up the defense a little bit tonight.”

— Jeremy Boltus, Head Coach

“Having possession helps and knowing you have that ability to make the play and take the ball, it gives confidence to a lot of people.”

— Jeremy Boltus, Head Coach

“(Decker) works hard and makes himself available for a lot of different face-off type work. He is improving from a stick work standpoint, which is huge for us. He's making adjustments on the fly and he's doing a lot of things for us. That gives us confidence moving forward. We're super thrilled for him.”

— Jeremy Boltus, Head Coach

“Jack's just been our steady rock throughout the whole season. There's no surprise with the numbers that he's putting up. He's doing a better job of bringing others along and improving everyone on the offense.”

— Jeremy Boltus, Head Coach

“If we can be versatile and get others involved, I think that's going to make us all the more hard to defend. We're doing our best to hopefully trend in the right direction and play our best lacrosse later (in the playoffs).”

— Jeremy Boltus, Head Coach

What’s next

CBA, now 7-0 on the season, hosts Skaneateles on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Westhill, which is 4-3 so far this campaign, hosts Cazenovia at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

The takeaway

This offensive explosion from CBA shows the team can overwhelm opponents with both its stifling defense and its potent attack, making the Brothers a formidable contender as the playoffs approach. The emergence of sophomore faceoff specialist Jerrick Decker has been a key factor in fueling the team's success.
