TOPSHAM — Nick Oram scored three goals and dished out an assist, and goaltender Ed Maguire had seven saves as the Mt. Ararat High School boys lacrosse team downed defending Eastern Maine Class A champion Lewiston, 6-4, on Tuesday.
“They had the ball in our end throughout most of the first quarter, but the defense of Brett Martin, Rob Cornelison and Zack Greene did a great job,” said Mt. Ararat coach Matt Haskell, whose team improved to 2-1 and visits Cony on Saturday at 11 a.m.
Oram, assisted by Jon Brown, gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead after a quarter, and Jeremy Hart doubled the advantage off an Evan Whidden feed for a 2-0 Mt. Ararat lead at the half.
Lewiston (2-2) came out quickly in the third quarter, getting a goal each from Chris Rancourt and Matt Melanson to tie the game. But, Brown (assisted by Oram) and Oram (Hart) put the Eagles up 4-2, and fourth-quarter tallies by Oram and Josh Richards (Martin) allowed Mt. Ararat to pull away.
