AUBURN — The Edward Little boys lacrosse team started slow, but attackers Landon Nagy and Casey Mileikis helped kickstart the offense as the Red Eddies scored six times in the second quarter on their way to a 15-3 victory over Leavitt on Monday.

“I think we’re a second-quarter team,” Nagy said. “When we did (score), it really felt good. I mean, they’re a good team, and I think we just battled through today and got the win.”

Mileikis scored two of his game-high five goals in the second, while Nagy netted one goal and two assists in the period.

“I think me and Casey work really well together. He’s a lefty, I’m a righty. I try to find him on the cuts, and he usually gets them back in the net, as we saw today.”

How it happened

• Edward Little (6-1) scored two goals in the first quarter to lead 3-1, then the offense opened up in the second, starting with goals by Mileikis and Logan Averill to push the lead to 5-1.

Everett Michaud scored twice in 15 seconds for Leavitt (2-4), but the Red Eddies ended the half on a 4-0 run with goals from Mileikis, Nagy, Matt Fecteau and Hunter Bailey for a 9-3 halftime lead.  

• Six different Edward Little players scored in the second half.

• Red Eddies goalie Logan Billings shut out Leavitt in the second half, stopping all three shots he faced in the third and making another save in the fourth.

“The kid’s been an absolutely fantastic player. I’ve been coaching him since he was in seventh grade,” Edward Little coach Tyler Haskell said. “I was really waiting for him to come up, but now seeing him as a junior, really filling out his role, being the leader of the team, a captain, and just not being afraid to do the right thing as a captain, but also being that good of a player.”

Statistical leaders

• Edward Little: Casey Mileikis (five goals), Landon Nagy (two goals, four assists), Matt Fecteau (two goals), Logan Billings (eight saves)

• Leavitt: Everett Michaud (two goals); Kaden Bernier (goal)

They said it

• “I like to have everybody at least touch the ball at least once on that first possession just to get the jitters out. Then, honestly, it’s all about trusting the entire offensive scheme of things. So if you’re out there, you know, you have the trust to bring the ball to the rack or feed it, you know, and trust the system that we play in.” — Tyler Haskell

• “We can move the ball really well, and then sometimes we kind of just stop. We kind of stand around a little bit more than we’d like. That’s just being a young team, trying to figure out a new offense we’re coaching and stuff. It’s pretty simple, but just getting them to move their feet. Sometimes you need someone to step up, and then the rest of the team follows.”— Leavitt coach Zach Ward
