Girls lacrosse was also washed away.

Today’s game is a rematch of last year’s East finale, won by host Brunswick, 14-3.

“We are looking forward to playing in the regional final, and the fact that it is a rematch of last year makes it that much more special, and hopefully we can duplicate what the boys team did (9-8 over Brunswick) on Saturday,” said Cheverus coach Jamie Chamberlain. “We know we’ll have to play a solid game in order to do so. Brunswick is a very disciplined team. Which, means we’ll have to play good team defense, take good shots and not turn the ball over to be successful.”

“Cheverus absolutely is a stronger team than last year,” lauded Brunswick coach Beth Caputi. “They graduated very few from last year’s team, so now we are playing a much more experienced, and I would assume, more confident group of girls. We will prepare for them just as we have for all our opponents — focusing on our own strengths.”

Brunswick and Scarborough also met last year for the State Class A championship title, with the Dragons falling 13-11.
