Leveillee and Ryan lead the Lancers"It's been said that the best offense is a good defense. Such was the case for the Longmeadow Lancers this morning as they used a suffocating defensive effort to dismantle the Amherst Hurricanes at Longmeadow high school. Up 5-1 after the first, Amherst was never really able to gain traction in the game. Junior defenders Reid Leveillee and Jack Ryan led the way for the Lancers as they held Kieran Presley and the talented Hurricane offense to six goals in the contest"
"Led by the efforts of Leveillee and Ryan, the Lancer defense was sensational all game long. Leveillee in particular showed a complete skill set that has a good bit of potential to be successful at the college level. On multiple occasions Leveillee directly caused a turnover on his man, picked the ball up and sprinted it over the mid-line to assure a Longmeadow possession. Running with the ball as often and as successfully as he did was no small task against a very, very athletic midfield from Amherst."
