Usually when these two teams square off, it goes down to the last shot.

Five of the last six boys’ lacrosse meetings between Sussex Tech and Dover High have been decided by just one or two goals.

So Ravens coach Don Golacinski couldn’t help but feel pretty good after Sussex Tech cruised to a 19-6 victory over the Senators in a Henlopen Conference Northern Division matchup on Wednesday night.

The Ravens opened up an impressive 14-2 halftime advantage as they improved to 2-2 in the North, 5-3 overall.

“In 13 years as a head coach, I’ve never had a team play that well,” said Golacinski. “We can do anything we want to. If we played like this against some of the other teams, it might have been a little bit different.”

On Saturday, Sussex Tech suffered a particularly tough, 11-10 overtime loss to Sanford. The Ravens squandered a two-goal, fourth-quarter lead in the setback.

But Sussex Tech didn’t leave anything to chance on Wednesday. Junior Jason Whaley netted five of his six goals in the first half, Ian Carlisle scored four of his five goals with Matt Tull adding three goals before intermission.

The Ravens have added nonconference games against high-level programs like Tower Hill and Wilmington Friends to their schedule this spring. Golacinski said the goal is to raise Sussex Tech’s level of play.

“We’ve always been just a really good average team,” he said. “We just feel like maybe this is the turning point.”

Devaughn Williams scored three goals for Dover (2-3 North, 5-4) with goalie Kyle Potter making 12 saves.
