- Golden boys’ lacrosse recorded one of its biggest wins under head coach Kurt Ohlen, beating rival Green Mountain 6-5 in overtime Wednesday at Trailblazer Stadium.

The Demons got an all-time effort from junior Adam Kreller, and their sophomore goaltender Tanner McAdoo was a wall in Golden’s first league victory of the season.

Golden used their defense to keep the Rams in check for three quarters holding them scoreless at halftime and allowing only a single goal through three full quarters.

But Green Mountain refused to go away and even during a game where they weren’t at their best offensively they rallied to score four fourth quarter goals and somehow managed to send the game into overtime.

The Rams got a pair of goals from both junior Jack Day and senior Bryce Woodworth in the fourth quarter to force the overtime.

However, Kreller used four goals to beat Green Mountain, while McAdoo stopped 13 shots, keeping the Rams out of the back of the net when it mattered most.

Despite losing two days later, the victory for Golden confirms the growth in a program that was created just three years ago.

The Demons were beat 16-4 Friday at Steamboat Springs. The Colorado Springs’ team is powerhouse and owns a perfect 9-0 this season.

But coach Ohlen thought scheduling Steamboat Springs was a good opportunity to test themselves against one of the best.

The Rams loss is their fourth in a row after starting the season by winning two of their first three games.

However, Green Mountain certainly isn’t getting beat up. The Rams have scored at least five goals in each of their last four games, losing at St. Mary’s 9-7 before falling to Golden in overtime.

Green Mountain (2-5, 0-1 in 4A Jeffco) will play at Thompson Valley High School Friday at 6:30 p.m.

Golden (2-6, 1-0 in 4A Jeffco) will host Clear Creek Friday at Trailblazer Stadium at 4 p.m.
