Dover-Sherborn cruised to its first-ever state title in boys’ lacrosse on Wednesday afternoon, knocking out North Reading, 16-6, in the first of three title games at Harvard Stadium.

The Raiders were playing in their third Division 3 championship game in the last four years, having fallen to Weston in 2011 and Scituate in 2009.

The Hornets (22-2) took a quick 2-0 lead in the first quarter, but D-S All-American senior Billy Polk discovered a little bit of magic on the faceoff in the second, winning the first 10 draws he took as D-S finished the game 18 for 24.

And once they established possession, the Raiders (18-5) were able put together a run with some slick ball movement that opened holes in the North Reading defense. D-S went into halftime with a 7-2 lead and never let up.

Senior attackman Jared Spence and junior attackman Brandon Jaeger each finished with four goals.
