AUSTIN, TX, February 25, 2009 - The Cedar Park Timberwolf Lacrosse team traveled to St. Stephens Wednesday night and came away with wins for both the Varsity and JV squads. 

The Spartans struck first with a score midway through the first quarter.  However, Cedar Park clawed back and held a 6-2 lead at halftime.  After scoring once right after the halftime break, Cedar Park hung on to win 8-3.   Ryan Fairclough led the scoring with three goals, followed by Stephen Smith with two.  Sophomore defenseman Holden Ilseng led the defense with a goal on  a long run into Spartan territory.  Jason Teal and Tanner Brown added a goal apiece to close out the scoring.    Cedar Park out-shot the Spartans 43-26 on the way to the win.

“Alex Lee got the game ball for hustling,” said Cedar Park Coach Chris Knight.  “We had a lot of sick players out on the team and a few missing with the flu.  I thought we did well playing through that.” Cedar Park varsity (3-1, 2-0) has won three in a row after dropping their season opener to Bowie.
