Long Beach<\/a> warmed up nicely in the Lynbrook<\/a> chill for the coming challenge that accompanies life in a Nassau boys lacrosse power league.<\/p>\n

The Marines got goals from eight players and saves from three goalies, and they rolled past Lynbrook, 13-2, in a non-league clash<\/a> Wednesday at Marion Street Elementary School.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got some skilled players,\u201d Long Beach coach Jason Pearl said. \u201cObviously, we\u2019re in the power league this year, so we\u2019ve got a tough road ahead of us. We\u2019re really looking forward to taking one of those guys down, come away with a win that maybe we weren\u2019t supposed to come away with \u2014 that\u2019s one of our goals this season \u2014 and just execute and play right.\u201d<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s dead ahead? Try Massapequa, Manhasset and Farmingdale.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a tough stretch,\u201d Pearl said. \u201cThey\u2019re all great teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

His team is 4-2 after winning its third straight.<\/p>\n

Dylan Brown led the balanced attack with three goals and one assist. Jonathan Hayes had two goals and two assists, Cian Donaghy had two goals and one assist, Charles Conway had two goals and Ryan Farrell had one goal and three assists.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt helps create offense because everybody\u2019s able to dodge and beat their man,\u201d Brown said of having so many threats. \u201cEverybody played as a team today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conway, Brown and Wyatt Wojcieski scored, making it 3-0 through one quarter.<\/p>\n

JP McHugh countered for Lynbrook. But Conway shot into an open net after a turnover and Hayes went low from about 10 yards out, and it was 5-1 by halftime.<\/p>\n

It was 10-1 after three.<\/p>\n

Aiden DeRupo (seven), Jax Wagner (six) and Reilly Gentilesco (one) combined for 14 saves for the Marines.<\/p>\n

Lynbrook was minus its top threat, 18-goal scorer Brandon Scala, out after hurting his ribs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you feel it,\u201d said coach Bill Luzzi, who expects him back soon.<\/p>\n

The Owls dropped their third straight after a 3-0 beginning. Their offensive structure was shaky in the first two losses.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we put a lot of work in practice to get that back to where it was,\u201d Luzzi said, \u201cand we did improve today, although the scoreboard doesn\u2019t show it.\u201d<\/p>\n
