Gonzaga's boys' lacrosse coaches and players stewed about their late overtime loss to Georgetown Prep on March 16 throughout last weekend in preparation for what was supposed to be a midweek game against Bishop Ireton.

After beating the Bulldogs, 11-8, aided by junior attack Kurt Bruun's game-winner with less than six minutes left, Gonzaga's players hollered in celebration on their run back to the locker room while Eagles Coach Casey O'Neill took a deep breath.
