The Delaware Hayes boys lacrosse team got things going in a big way in the second half, outscoring visiting Hilliard Bradley 10-2 over the course of the final two quarters to cement a solid 12-4 win Tuesday in Delaware.

The game was tied 2-2 at halftime, but the Pacers changed that early in the third when Casey Eiland and Ryan Smudz scored a pair of quick goals to double their team’s advantage.

The Jaguars got one back, making it a 4-3 game with 6:11 left in the third, but Andrew Lyon’s third goal of the game made it 5-3 before Sam Lagando and Alex Schumacher added back-to-back tallies to give Hayes a 7-3 cushion late in the quarter.

Bradley found the back of the net to make it a 7-4 game after three, but the Pacers outscored the Jags 5-0 in the fourth to smooth out the scoring summary.

Eiland joined Lyon with a hat trick, with his third of the game capping the scoring with 2:09 left in the fourth.
