2026 MIAA Boys Lacrosse Championships: Scituate Prevails Again; Longmeadow Adds to Dynasty; BC High, Cohasset Back On Top

The 2026 MIAA Boys Lacrosse Championships found a new home at Worcester State College’s Coughlin Field, where four winners were crowned between Friday, June 12 and Saturday, June 13.

There was one repeat winner, another that added to a historic championship legacy, and two more teams got back to the top after falling short in recent years.

Boston College High School held off Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School for its first Division 1 Boys Lacrosse championship since 2018.

Division 1

After falling short in the title game four times in the previous five years, Boston College High School finally returned to the top.

The No. 6 seed Eagles capped their run through the tournament bracket by taking down a higher seed for the third straight game, this time holding off a huge rally from top-seeded Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School for a 10-9 victory.

Murphy Belvin and Nate Rogers had three goals apiece to lead the Eagles, who also got two goals apiece from Enzo Serio and Jackson Ketchen. TJ Emsing made 8 saves.

BC High jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first quarter and maintained its edge until the Warriors staged a furious late rally that fell just short. Brendan Dooley scored three of the six goals in the final quarter for L-S, which was chasing its eighth championship all time, but first since 2019.

The championship was the second in program history for BC High, which also won in 2018 after falling to Lincoln-Sudbury in their previous two championship meetings in 2016 and ’17.

Longmeadow High School added to its Boys Lacrosse state record by winning the program's 22nd championship.

Division 2

Longmeadow High School has been the epitome of championship excellence in boys’ lacrosse for decades, and the Lancers added another to their trophy case by rolling to a 10-5 victory over Mansfield High School.

Edward Hinshaw had three goals and an assist to spark the Lancers, who won the program’s 22nd state championship all-time and third in the last four seasons. Brady Labrie, Max Zichittella and Brady Stocks had a pair of goals apiece. Leigh Chapman made 12 saves for Longmeadow.

In contrast, Mansfield was making its first championship game appearance. The Hornets were in a 3-3 tie in the second quarter behind a pair of goals from Cole Hogencamp, but Longmeadow eventually pulled away.

The five-goal margin was significantly more comfortable than Longmeadow’s previous two title wins, both one-goal affairs against Billerica (2022) and Marshfield (2024 in 3 OTs).

Scituate High School toppled Dracut Senior High School for its second Division 3 crown in as many seasons.

Division 3

Despite not having nearly as extensive a resume, for Scituate High School it was a case of having more experience on the championship stage as the No. 3 seed Sailors grinded out a 7-4 victory over No. 1 seed Dracut Senior High School.

The Sailors, playing in the title game for the third straight year and sixth time overall, made it back-to-back titles after taking down Falmouth in 2025.

Luke Spaulding set the tone with a pair of goals in the first 1 minute and 1 second, and the Sailors never trailed after that. Spaulding finished with three goals, with Ace Smith and Jake Monahan adding two apiece to complete the scoring for Scituate.

Meanwhile, the Sailors defense did its job in shutting down Dracut in front of goalie AJ Reimels (6 saves).

James O’Brien scored twice for the Middies, who were playing in a state final for the first time.

Cohasset High School returned to the top of Division 4 Boys Lacrosse after falling just short the previous year.

Division 4

Gus Greene scored three goals, including the game-winner with 23 seconds to play, and No. 1 seed Cohasset High School pulled out a dramatic 7-6 victory over No. 2 seed Nantucket High School.

Greene’s tally allowed the Skippers to clinch the program’s second Division 4 championship in four seasons and the seventh overall in program history. Cohasset fell on this stage to Norwell in the 2025 title game.

Max Monahan also had three goals and Tim Donovan one for Cohasset, which scored three times in the first quarter but was never able to pull away from the Whalers. Jed Seita had eight saves in the win.

Noah Stringer, Nolen Mosscrop and Arann Hanlon shared the offense with two goals each for Nantucket, which was back in the state final after beating Sandwich in its only other appearance in 2024. Jeremy Jenkinson made nine saves.
