Dylan Klusaritz scored five goals and contributed six assists to Parkland's lopsided 21-6 victory over Freedom on Tuesday in a Lehigh Valley Conference boys lacrosse contest. The performance individual and team appeared quite impressive.

The Trojans attacker was pleased with his and the team's effort. He, however, was hardly thrilled.

"We definitely need to tighten some things up on defense. That's usually our strong suit but today we weren't at our best," Klusaritz said flatly. "I played OK. But it wasn't my best game, not even close."

Reminded that his Trojans won with ease, invoking the mercy rule (a 13-goal lead) in the third quarter, Klusaritz smiled slightly.

"Yeah, that's a good thing," he admitted. "But the games are going to get harder and we need to be ready."

Parkland improved to 9-1 overall and 5-1 in the conference. Coach Brad Schifko's Trojans remained tied for first place in the LVC with five-time defending champion Emmaus.

Freedom, in its second season as a varsity program, fell to 6-4 overall and 2-3 in the conference.

This one was all Parkland from the opening faceoff until midway through the fourth quarter. The Trojans led 3-0 in the first three minutes, with Klusaritz and Josh Pope both registering a goal and an assist in the early going. The score was 7-2 after the first period and 13-3 at intermission.

Klusaritz was Parkland's scoring star, but he had plenty of help on offense.

Sophomore Steven Chenworth enjoyed his finest game in a Trojans uniform, scoring four goals and adding an assist. Pope, Jake Billera and Alex DiPasquale all netted three goals. Brett Kudlak had six assists.
