Chalut's four goals set rhythm for Fallbrook's 11-5 win over Olympian

FALLBROOK – The Warrior boys lacrosse team found their rhythm after facing a 0-3 deficit at the conclusion of the first quarter in the March 20 game against the visiting Eagles of Olympian High School, and went on to win the contest by an 11-5 score.

The 2-0 Warriors were led offensively by freshman Nathan Chalut with four goals along with senior Isaac Mattecheck who recorded three goals.

Coach Paul Morgan cited the veteran play of his underclassman as a contributing factor to the victory.

"Nathan Chalut has been given a lot of offensive responsibility; having a natural left-handed player on the field adds a significant dynamic to our offense. He has responded well to the increased pressure and I feel the best is yet to come with him," said Morgan.

The Warriors feature three freshmen and two sophomores who are major contributors and see significant playing time.

Although freshmen Arron Wies and Tyler Jenkin have not received as much attention as Chalut, Morgan commented on their play thus far.

"Arron and Tyler are two young players that have an immense amount of potential; they have both been major factors into our team’s success in these two games," said Morgan.

Wies is a starting attack man with Chalut and scored the first goals to gain momentum back from Olympian when the Warriors went down early against the Eagles.
