Southern Tier Sports ReportSOUTHPORT — Down 2-0 early, the Notre Dame Crusaders turned up the defense, shutting down Windsor the rest of the way in a 6-2 win in the first game of the Section 4, Class D boys’ lacrosse playoffs.
Grant Crossley had a big game in net with 11 saves. Crossley’s 10th save of the night put him at 1,066 for his career, passing Jake Reynolds of Massachusetts for No. 10 all-time in the nation.

The offense was sparked by Franzese on a fast break as he put it past the Windsor goalie to start a 6-0 run.
