St. Lawrence Central’s Adam Soller absorbs a stick check of Colton-Pierrepont’s Zach Regan (10).  The Colton-Pierrepont Colts lacrosse team, a team born out of controversy when the school's baseball team was folded in favor of lacrosse last fall , opened their first-ever season on Thursday at SUNY Potsdam. The Larries erupted for eight unanswered goals in the first period.  The Larries won their season opener in convincing fashion 17-1.  Thor Merrill scored the Colts' first and lone goal.
