NEEDHAM—Among the many mantras BC High coach Marcus Craigwell has instilled upon his team is ‘next man up.’
The sixth-seeded Eagles found themselves in a situation that required the phrase in the second quarter against No. 3 Needham on Wednesday afternoon at Memorial Park when starting goaltender Jamie Horton, a senior briefly left the Division 1 South quarterfinal matchup with a lower-body injury.

The Eagles (12-3) were in the midst of a 16-minute, 35-second stretch of holding the Rockets (13-3)
