The Aspen High School boys lacrosse season came to an end on Tuesday with a 16-3 loss at No. 3 Cheyenne Mountain in the Class 4A state quarterfinal round in Colorado Springs.
The Red-Tailed Hawks, now 14-3, dominated the game and advance to play No. 2 seed Erie in the semifinals on Saturday. The other semifinal game will be between No. 1 Denver South and No. 4 Air Academy. The winners will play in the 4A championship game on Monday at the University of Denver.
