SEATTLE – Nathan Hale’s David Shiplett scored an early fourth quarter goal to lift the Raiders to a 7 – 6 Boys Division II varsity lacrosse win over Roosevelt, Thursday at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle. The win evened Hale’s record at 1 – 1 on the 2009 season.
With the game tied at six, Shiplett snuck behind the Roughriders’ defense and took a quick pass from Alex Wright setting up the opportunity with just 8:40 remaining. From just 15-feet out, Shipplett’s shot blasted past Roosevelt goalkeeper David Madsen for the game winning goal.
Roosevelt’s Bobby Walker opened scoring at 10:34 of the first for the first of his four goals on the night. Following three unanswered nets by Hale to close the first, Roosevelt then answered with two more to force a 3 – 3 tie at the intermission.
In the third, Roosevelt struck first on a Moussa Gloyd shot at 9:49 for a 4 – 3 advantage. The teams then traded goals with Hale holding a 6 - 5 advantage heading into the fourth. In the final stanza, Roosevelt countered to tie the game at 6 with just 11:36 remaining, but was unable to find the net again.
Hale goalkeeper Spencer Adams (1-1) had 9 saves in the win. Roosevelt’s David Madsen (0-1) had three saves.
