Ben Parylak, Peyton Hillier and Dylan Edwards each scored two goals and Nick Spaight tallied three assists as the Barrington High School boys lacrosse team defeated North Kingstown 9-8 on Monday night, May 12.

Barrington improved to 6-5. 

Parylak opened the scoring in the first minute with a behind-the-back finish in the crease off a nice feed from Spaight. The Eagles played efficiently and created some turnovers and loose ball opportunities in the first quarter. Barrington jumped out to a 5-0 lead, but the Skippers cut into the score and narrowed the Eagles’ lead to 8-5 heading into halftime. 

The third quarter was a defensive battle with Barrington scoring the only goal. North Kingstown went on a run in the fourth quarter, helped by some Barrington penalties. The Skippers trailed 9-8 with two minutes left, but Barrington’s defense tightened up and the Eagles held on for the win. 

Max Parylak and Patrick McNamara and Spaight each scored goals in the victory.
