Ralston Valley sophomore Collin McLaughlin, left, tries to ward off the check by Monarch senior Fox Reichert during the first quarter April 19 at the North Area Athletic Complex. The Mustangs trailed 9-1 early in the second half, but six unanswered goals got Ralston Valley back into the game. McLaughlin had four goals in the conference game. However, Monarch finished the game with three straight tallies to take a 12-7 victory in boys lacrosse action.
