Ponte Vedra’s boys’ lacrosse team scored 16 goals, 12 in the first half to defeat visiting Fleming Island 16-6.
With the win the Sharks improved their record to 5-0.
The first quarter started with the visitors taking charge briefly, opening a 3-2 lead in the first six minutes before Ponte Vedra’s play makers found the range.
By the time the quarter ended the Sharks were on top 6-3 and would double up the Golden Eagles in the second quarter and led 12-4.
After Fleming Island took their 3-2 lead, Reid Smith and Matthew Keeler each scored a pair of goals to put the Sharks in front and Ponte Vedra never looked back after that.
The Eagles would score twice in the game’s closing minutes but were never a real threat after the opening few minutes.
In addition to Smith and Keeler, other scorers for the Sharks were Andrew O’Dare, Ben Buchanan, Jack Burke, Jason Prince and Jude Kuhn.
