Tough Week

The Girl’s lacrosse team faced a tough couple of home games this week, losing to Gann Academy 16-10 on Wednesday and Chapel Hill 20-16 on Thursday.

Against Gann, the team kept up their energy throughout the game despite not having any subs available on the sidelines. It helped to have strict referees; the girls were able to catch their breath frequently when the whistle blew. K. Aldrich, filling in for our regular goaltender, faced a total of 26 shots on net. On offense, R. Smith initially had difficulty finding the net but then found the goalie’s weak spot down low. Smith scored 7 out of the 10 Landmark goals; other contributors were T. Clark and S. Scanlon in the first half, and M. Barlow in the second half. Clark also faced a two-minute penalty in the second half for a body check.

Against Chapel Hill, the girls went back-and-forth on many of the goals but could not stop the speed of two very quick Chapel Hill players. Together, these girls scored 16 out of Chapel Hill’s 20.  In net for Landmark, M. Ferry made 10 saves and faced many players who shot right on the crease. Defensively, C. Garrett did a particularly nice job running to stay with her mark from the midfield all the way to the goal.  On offense, Ferris had the first goal of the game from a free position shot. D. Churchill took a beautiful shot assisted by J. Ferris early in the second half. Other goals included Clark with four, Barlow with a hat trick, and R. Smith with a double hat trick. Barlow fought hard to win the draws and did so successfully five times.

The girls will play next Tuesday at Brimmer and May.
