The girls lacrosse team took on Montrose last Wednesday  (4/25) on Collins Field. The game was all about improvements. First of all, the team improved attendance numbers by having everyone there! A first of the year! In the first 8 minutes, Montrose’s offense came out strong with 7 unanswered goals. A timeout was called, which refueled Landmark’s confidence, energy and positive attitudes. Rachel Smith put the team on the board with the first goal after the timeout which started an upswing for the girls. A.Holmes, K.O’Brien, M.Doolan, K.Aldrich and S.Scanlon improved their communication on defense which led to many caused turnovers and countless saves by M.Ferry continued the progress. Goals in the first half also came from S.Scanlon, M.Amigo, M.Barlow. You wouldn’t have known the second half was part of the same game. Defense allowed 3 goals the entire half, which was an immense improvement from the 12 in the first half. This was also thanks to hard work from S.Hartigan, M.Cataldo. On attack, D.Churchill, J.Ferris and C.Garrett moved the ball well and made great cuts. T. Clark popped in a goal followed by a pair added my R. Smith and another by M.Barlow to finish the game. Although the final score was 10-15, the girls should be complimented on the progress made in the game and also their ability to not give up and persevere.
