Junior Noah Martin scored three goals to lead the Jesuit lacrosse team over Mandeville, 17-3, in a Louisiana High School Lacrosse League quarterfinal contest. The game was played at Muss Bertolino Stadium in Kenner on Friday, April 15.

Four Blue Jays scored two goals each: senior Max Murret, and juniors Briggs Lucia, Parker Simoneaux, and Michael Smart. Murret and senior Dominic Sunseri each tallied three assists. Sunseri also led the team in ground balls with seven. Murret had six.

Senior goalie Rob Hinyub was between the pipes for the Jays.

Jesuit scored on three of four man-advantage opportunities.

Jesuit will need to beat St. Paul’s — the school it defeated in the last four championship games — to have a chance at winning a fifth straight LHSLL title.

The Jays’ semifinal game is scheduled for Saturday, April 23, at Joe Yenni Stadium in Metairie. The winner will face the victor of the other semifinal match between Brother Martin and Loyola College Prep. Jesuit is serving as host of the state tournament.
