On Saturday, April 26th, the Girls' Varsity Lacrosse team faced Hamburg in what was sure to be their toughest game of the season so far. Hamburg defeated Lake Shore in overtime last season in the semi-final round of the play-offs. Lake Shore has been waiting for the chance to face Hamburg again and prove themselves a worthy and challenging opponent. After a tied score of 4-4 at halftime, Hamburg came on strong right away to put two quick goals in the net. Lake Shore had to come from behind to tie and finally go ahead of Hamburg. Hamburg scored one more goal to tie the game up again at 7-7. In the last two minutes of the game, with the hard work of the whole team, Lauren Scanlan was able to put the ball in the net one more time to put Lake Shore in the lead. With a strong defensive effort, Lake Shore was able to hold off Hamburg's attack and win the game with a final score of 8-7. This was Hamburg's first loss of the season. Lake Shore is now 7-0-0 overall with a 5-0-0 league record. Ashley Garrasi recorded the win in net making 13 saves on the day. Scoring was led by Lauren Scanlan with 4 goals and 1 assist.
