Middleton’s boys lacrosse team exited on a high in 2024 — winning the first-ever WIAA state championship.
Now, the Cardinals are hoping 2025 brings more of the same.
Middleton opened its new season by splitting a pair of games last week.
Middleton defeated Sun Prairie, 14-9, in its season-opener on April 3. The Cardinals then fell to New Trier (Ill.), 8-4, last Saturday.
Here’s a recap of the Cardinals’ week.
• Middleton 8, Sun Prairie 4 — Attackman Evan Mazur scored three goals to power Middleton past Sun Prairie.
Freshmen Aksel Chelesvig also had a memorable debut, with a near-perfect performance at faceoff.
Middleton built an 8-0 lead in the first half, then went deep into its bench in the second half.
Middleton’s JV team also won, 10-0.
• New Trier (Ill.) 8, Middleton 4 — New Trier scored four unanswered goals in the fourth quarter to break a 2-2 tie and pull away.
