Tornado Girls Lacrosse completes sweep of Medford led by 5-goal game from Jenkins
By Steve Freker
The Malden High Boys Volleyball Team won its sixth straight game on Wednesday, 3-0, over visiting Chelsea, to soar to 10-2 overall and 8-1 in the Greater Boston League (GBL). Head Coach Dan Jurkowski’s team sits alone atop the GBL, a full game ahead of defending GBL champ Revere and could just about clinch the 2024 crown with a win over Revere at Finn Gym, Malden next Wednesday, May 8 (5:15 p.m. start). Malden’s lone league loss came on the road at Revere in April.
The 10th win for Malden also put the Golden Tornado boys team in the MIAA Division 1 Boys Volleyball State Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, going back to 2019. Senior Victor Desouza and junior Eddie Mei have played key roles in Malden’s success.
Malden Boys Lacrosse bounces back with a pair of wins
Malden High Boys Lacrosse has bounced back with a pair of wins, both on the road, to improve to 6-3 overall on the season. Its best start in years features wins in four of five games over the last two weeks.
Malden senior and MHS all-time leading scorer Chad Robertson led the way in both wins with 6 goals in a 9-5 win over Revere and 7 goals in a 10-2 win over Lowell at Cawley Stadium in Lowell. Junior goaltender Ben Rosa also added to his all-time career saves numbers in both games. Jacky Summers at attack and Karl Lange at defensive middie have been playing well for Malden Head Coach Jon Copithorne, with senior Saul Kruckenberg also among the team-leading scorers.
Malden hosted Tech Boston on Tuesday, Medford on Thursday and is at Somerville today (4:00 p.m., Dilboy Stadium) in a rematch for a busy stretch.
