The varsity boys team is looking for its first win after a hard-fought opening week to the 2019 season. The Lancers went up against tough opponents in Hawken and Cuyahoga Valley Christian, recording losses to both. Colton Slabe '20 (pictured on left) scored the lone goal against Hawken on an assist by Dorjan Flowers '21. Keeper Matt Beck '21 (pictured on right) totaled 15 saves. A highlight of the week was a well-played game against Independence. The opponent defeated the Lancers at the end of last season 3-1. Gilmour came out this season determined to change the outcome. It was an 80-minute battle that ended in a 0-0 tie. Riley Barrett '20 led the defense in stopping the opposition as Beck recorded six saves.

At the junior varsity level, the Lancers are 0-1-1. In a loss to Hawken, Alex Young '21 scored a goal on an assist from Collin Grady '23. Young then scored twice in a 2-2 ties versus CVCA with both scores coming in the final five minutes of play. Michael Tippen '22 assisted on the first goal.
