Four Losses for SLHS Girls Lacrosse

The South Lakes girls lacrosse team is winding down its regular season schedule. The past week saw four games against Liberty District foes. The Seahawks lost all four and are now 3-6, 1-4 Liberty District.

* The Seahawks were defeated by Madison, 17-6 on Monday.  The Warhawks rushed out to an early 12-0 lead, but the Seahawks came back with goals from Megan Greatorex (three), and one each by senior Maria Leith, junior Sarah Hawes, and senior Kenzie Hughes.  Senior Goalie Emily Lipscomb made numerous outstanding saves to keep the game competitive in the second half.   

* In a thrilling 13-12 loss to Thomas Jefferson, South Lakes jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, with goals from Hughes (2) and Greatorex.  South Lakes extended the lead to 5-2 with goals from Greatorex and Sadie Belt.

The Seahawks then gave up eight straight goals to trail by 12-5 midway through the second half.  However, the defensive unit of Leah Duffy, Lindsey Rook, Nicole and Kenna Salvatore, Caitlyn Maginnes, Josie Wnek and goalie Lipscomb provided the Seahawks with an opportunity to get back in the game.  

South Lakes came back with goals from Hughes (2), freshman midfielders Emma Rygiel and Kristina Woodward, Greatorex and two from senior Maria Leith to close within one goal of TJ.  But time ran out and the Seahawks lost.

The Seahawks fought hard, but ended up losing 18-10.  Seahawks goals were scored by Hughes (3), Greatorex (4), Belt, Leith, and Woodward.  Midfielders Ebony Mitchell Goodfellow, Gabrielle Parisi, and Katie Thomas hustled throughout scooping up ground balls and showing good speed in the midfield.

* Against Marshall, the Seahawks played hard, but were downed 16-8.   Seahawk goals were scored by Kenzie Hughes (2), Megan Greatorex (4), and two from senior Sadie Belt.
