\u201cThey only have 15 guys in uniform,\u201d they might wonder. \u201cThis is the team that has been beating up on the Division 1 programs of the Dual County League?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Weston (17-1) will play at second-seeded Norwell (17-3) on Saturday at 5 p.m. for a chance to go to the Division 3 semifinals. Both programs shifted up from D4 last season after Norwell won the state title. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ideally, a strong lacrosse program will use six offensive midfielders, four defensive midfielders, five or six poles, and potentially rotate in players on attack to keep bodies fresh. Weston has one backup for each position group, so the Wildcats have to be strategic to avoid fatigue. <\/span><\/p>\n
