Double team. Triple team. It didn't really matter, Lincoln High School boys lacrosse attacker Zack Arnold was more than likely going to score.

The 6-foot-3, 250-pound senior plowed his way through the Skyline defense for a game-high six goals, leading the Railsplitters to a 10-6 home win Saturday afternoon.

"I was just putting my body into the littler guys," said Arnold. "Usually I'm bigger than most of the kids out here, so I use my size to my advantage."

"Nobody was big enough to stop him," admitted Skyline coach Nick Zoroya.

That has been the story for many teams Lincoln has faced this spring, a fact Lincoln coach Jeff Daniels doesn't mind.

"He's a big guy. He's pretty much had a size advantage over everybody he's played this year," said Daniels, whose team also had an experience edge over the freshmen- and sophomore-comprised Skyline team.

And, if Arnold's size wasn't enough ...

"The other thing is he's also a lefty," Daniels added. "Guys don't necessarily play him the right way. He obviously has a good power move to his left."

Nevertheless, it was Skyline that opened the scoring when Kevin Vasher ripped the net minutes into the contest.

It wasn't long, however, before Arnold christened his scoring clinic, netting a goal in the closing minutes for a 1-1 first-quarter tie.

The two teams traded goals in the second, capped off by a goal from Lincoln's Jarrett Pfeiffer and a counter from Skyline's John Crowley in the final seconds to end the half at 4-4.

"We had to tighten down on defense," Daniels said of his team's second-half adjustments. "Skyline moved the ball pretty well. We figured if we stayed tight defensively, good man-to-man defense, we'd give them a hard time scoring goals."

The Railsplitters' tactic proved effective, as they held the Eagles scoreless in the third. Meanwhile, Arnold and Justin Pfeiffer added goals to give Lincoln a 6-4 cushion.

Skyline trimmed the gap to 6-5 and again to 7-6 in the fourth quarter, but Lincoln pulled away with three unanswered goals down the stretch, including an own goal by the Eagles. Arnold and Pfeiffer rounded out the game's scoring with a goal each.

"I think we started moving the ball a little bit more at the end," noted Arnold. "I think that's what we needed to do at the beginning to take the lead. And we used our size and experience."

Skyline, meanwhile, can't do anything about its lack of girth and lacrosse-years, but is striving to make up for it.

"We have a lot of depth," said Zaroya. "We just have athletes and as we progress we'll get better at lacrosse."
