With the way that this game transpired, St. Pierre and the Lawrenceville backline didn’t have to play a whole lot of defense. When they did, he excelled. A few minutes into the game, he threw a subtle poke check to jar the ball to help set the tone, then knocked down another pass later in the first quarter. He was especially effective in the well-oiled machine that is Lawrenceville’s 10-man ride, constantly intercepting long passes flung downfield by the Cardinals. With St. Pierre’s ranginess and top-flight stick skills, he’s a force in skip lanes while staying man-conscious, something he did impeccably a year ago as the Big Red’s No. 2 cover guy. By the looks of it, he’s beyond ready to start taking No. 1’s, but hopefully we’ll see him get tested more 1v1 than he was on Thursday.
