Marin Catholic continues its Bay Area dominance
The game took place on a damp day in Marin County. The Wildcats jumped out fast, then pulled away after a four-goal run that put Tamalpais on its heels.
Marin Catholic leaned on a balanced group of scorers and relentless defense. Tam, missing key players and working with just three substitutes, fought hard but struggled to keep up.
Hawken Brier led with three goals, three assists, and three ground balls. Jack Day added three goals and four assists, showing off the kind of multi-threat play that keeps Marin County lacrosse interesting.
Auggie Chapman and Ramsey Peterson each chipped in three goals. Logan Mack scored twice, highlighting the Wildcats’ depth as they built a 10-2 lead before halftime in Mill Valley.
Tam’s juniors Cole Lawson and Dillion Edwards each scored twice. Still, the gap just felt too big to close.
The turning point? Mack forced a key turnover, and Peterson finished it off with a solo goal. That moment really captured Marin Catholic’s defensive intensity and quick transitions.
As the second half ticked by, the Wildcats kept piling on, stretching the lead to 18-4 and triggering a running clock in the third period. Tamalpais never managed a rally, and Marin Catholic locked up a decisive win on a day that showed off their depth and finishing touch.

Coach BJ Grill pointed out the team’s growing confidence and West Coast ambitions. He mentioned that Loyola still sets the standard on the coast, but Marin Catholic is making a real case as the Bay Area’s top lacrosse program.
The Mill Valley crowd could sense the shift. The Wildcats kept eyes on the road to De La Salle and whatever comes next.
Looking ahead: schedule, travel, and the Catholic Cup
