Lions Sports Update (April 13)
LACROSSE
Held at Crum Lacrosse and Sports Field at SMU, the Lions varsity lacrosse team hosted powerhouse Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA) in a matchup that delivered. Mater Dei struck first, but the Lions responded quickly as JT Teinert found the net off a slick feed from Charlie Aisner, followed by a goal from Matthew Weir to give St. Mark’s an early edge. The first quarter ended tied 3–3, and the back-and-forth continued into halftime with Mater Dei holding a narrow 6–5 lead. The turning point came after the break, as Wyatt Hanson sparked the Lions with an early goal. The teams traded scores throughout the third, with Weir leveling the game at 7–7 heading into the fourth. From there, the Lions took control — locking down defensively and surging ahead behind standout performances from Mac Saye (hat trick), Michael Jimenez (2G, 2A), and Hanson (hat trick) to secure a 10–7 comeback victory. The Lions face Episcopal School of Dallas on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. before traveling to Houston for the SPC Tournament this weekend.
