On Tuesday, April 22nd, the Girls’ Varsity Lacrosse Team defeated Grand Island with a score of 12-8 improving their record so far this season to 5-0. At this point in the season, the girls are ranked #1 in E.C.I.C. Division II and also have three of the league’s top five goal-scorers on the team, Lauren Scanlan (27 goals), Lindsay John (13 goals) and Kelsey McKeown (8 goals).
Against Grand Island, the girls were able to overcome by maintaining possession of the ball on attack as the whole team had difficulty defensively. Lauren Scanlan led the way with Lake Shore’s scoring putting in 8 goals herself. That gives her 27 goals so far this season making her the league leading goal scorer. Lindsay John scored 2, giving her 13 this season and Shelby Will and Miranda Schultz each had 1. Assists were made by Lindsay John, Kelsey McKeown, Lauren Scanlan and Cat McCulle all with 2 and Shelby Will with 1. The attack was also made strong by Rose Russo, Brooke Gadomski and Jessica Tunis. The defense came together in the second half helping to keep the ball away from goalkeeper Ashley Garrasi, who made 10 saves. Defensive players included Brittany Mazzu, Destiny Sampson, Rachel Catalano, Katie Bacho and Amanda Thiel. The girls continue league play against two strong league rivals this week. On Thursday, April 24th the girls face West Seneca West at J.T. Waugh at 4:30 and on Saturday at 10:00 the girls face Hamburg at home. These teams have shown to be strong opponents in the past and are sure to bring challenging competition. Come out and support the Lady Eagles to help cheer them on to victory!
