Welcome to the home of Crusader lacrosse.

     Welcome to the Bishop Eustace Preparatory School Boy's Lacrosse web site.  

The 2009 season brought with it Conference play.  Although the boys finished with a 5-11 record, they showed that they can be competitive with the other conference teams.

There were a few highlights throughout the year:

• The schools first conference win was a 14-1 win over Paul VI.

• Beating Cherry Hill East 6-2, a team which beat us twice by double-digits the previous year.

• The team had a higher Ground Ball average per game than our opponents, 43-34 per game.  

• Joel McGowan's 42 goals placed him in the top ten in South Jersey goal scoring.

• Jon McGowan's 153 ground balls places him 2nd in the state (according to MaxPreps.com).

• Carmen Raroha's 111 ground balls placed him in the top ten in the state (according to MaxPreps.com).  

Next year, the entire Varsity squad returns and a playoff berth is not out of the question.
