The boys’ postseason tournaments will not begin this week, but eligibility and positioning will be on the line this week on the lacrosse and baseball fields. The lacrosse regular season ends on Saturday, while baseball must be finished by May 21.
Lacrosse
Tuesday
A.I. duPont (2-10) at St. Elizabeth (5-7), 3:30 p.m. at Alapocas Run State Park
Archmere (10-3) at Tatnall (9-4), 3:45 p.m.
Ss. Peter and Paul at Archbishop Curley, 4 p.m.
Salesianum (10-3) at Caesar Rodney (13-1), 7 p.m. This is perhaps the game of the year between two Delaware teams. The Sals return to the state from Buffalo, N.Y., after two big wins over the weekend against highly regarded opponents. Caesar Rodney will be in a foul mood after suffering its first loss last week against Cape Henlopen. These teams are not strangers; they met in the regular season last year and again in the tournament semifinals.
Wednesday
St. Mark’s (5-7) at Polytech (6-7), 7 p.m.
Thursday
Sanford (7-6) at St. Mark’s, 3:45 p.m.
St. Elizabeth at Hodgson (6-7), 4 p.m.
Archmere at Tower Hill (5-8), 5:15 p.m.
Friday
Ss. Peter and Paul vs. opponent to be determined. Site and time TBA.
Saturday
Salesianum vs. Fairfield Prep (Ct.), 11 a.m. at Rutgers University, Piscataway, N.J.
Baseball
Monday
McKean (2-11) at St. Thomas More (0-8), 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday
Salesianum (10-6) at St. Elizabeth (8-8), 4 p.m. The Vikings need a win either today at home against the Sals or Thursday at Mount Pleasant to ensure they are eligible for the state tournament. They always play the Sals close, such as in a 1-0 loss a week ago.
Wednesday
Salesianum at Sussex Tech (9-7), 4 p.m.
Thursday
St. Elizabeth at Mount Pleasant (6-9), 4 p.m.
Archmere (11-6) at Polytech (9-7), 4 p.m. The Auks picked a fine time to go on a roll. They have won their last four and wrap up the regular season in Kent County against a Panthers team that is victorious in four of its last five and features some potent bats.
Delcastle (5-10) at St. Thomas More, 4 p.m.
Friday
St. Mark’s (14-3) at Cape Henlopen (14-2), 4:15 p.m. Lewes will be a good place to visit to start the weekend, and not because it’s home to a premier state park. The weekend’s opening attraction is taking place about a mile away, where the Spartans and Vikings meet in what could be a playoff preview. Both teams have thrown no-hitters this season – Cape has two.
Volleyball
Tuesday
Dickinson (3-10) at St. Mark’s (4-8), 3:30 p.m.
