A Waconia Whitewash

 It was the first home game in two seasons for the St. Louis Park Boys Lacrosse team and they didn't fell at home Thursday as Luke Petersen scored five goals and Ashton roberts added four to lead the Waconia wildcats to a 16-0 shutout of the host Orioles.  

The Wildcats put the game away early with six first period goals.  Tyler Frisinger lined a power play goal into the net.  Then Ashton Roberts tallied to put Waconia ahead by two.  Petersen scored his first two goals in a span of :25 with the second coming on a quick wrist shot.  Petersen assisted on the fifth goal when he picked up an interception and fed Ashton Roberts and he send it to the net.  Wearing number 8 on his purple and black uniform, Peterson would break through a couple of Oriole defenders and snap the ball in the goal.  

Waconia would add two goals to their ledger in the second period.  Chase Holcomb would score first, then Alex Steffen picked up a loose ball and found an open spot in the net that put the Wildcats ahead 8-0 at halftime.  

In the third period, the Wildcats would send the game into running time by adding four goals.  Frisinger would score from the left side and Ashton Roberts scored two straight goals, the second coming :12 apart.  Petersen would score his fifth goal to put Waconia up by 12.  

Waconia added four more goals in the fourth quarter.  Petersen, Anders Rodning, Holcomb and Garrett Roberts would help preserve the shutout.
