The
end of March brings the lacrosse regular season to its midway point with local
programs rounding into form.
The Milton girls’ lacrosse team, the defending state champion, has dropped only one contest this season highlighted by a 14-9 road win at Walton on March 10 in a rematch of last season’s state championship game. Jessi Masinko scored a team-high five goals and two assists while Sophie Baez had three goals and two assists in the victory. Sydney Catts won 13 draws.
“It took a while for our offense to get settled and execute,” Milton head coach Tim Godby said. “We were turning the ball over early in the game trying to force things. Once we settled down, we were able to make plays and score. We have a lot of tough games ahead of us and lots of things to work on to improve both offensively and defensively.”
Milton will return to action on Thursday at home against Lassiter.
Centennial sees its girls’ team playing well with a 7-3 mark overall and undefeated in area play. The Knights won at Lambert 15-14 on March 24. Senior captain Julia Couch has led Centennial’s offensive effort, scoring a team-high 55 goals along with 30 draw controls and 28 assists. Junior midfielder Abigail Bergman has a team-high nine caused turnovers and 11 goals while junior goalkeeper Celia Senerman has a 49-percent save percentage.
“The team has been doing really well this season and I’m proud at the improvement it’s shown so far,” Knights’ head coach Emily Perling said. “We focus on getting better each half we play and the girls have done a great job of achieving that goal. Julia’s determination and hustle are contagious while Abigail’s shifty moves on attack mixed with her amazing defensive footwork makes her a threat. Celia spent a lot of time this offseason preparing to take on the starting role and it’s shown.”
Centennial will face Creekside out of Jacksonville, Florida in a non-area contest on April 1.
Blessed Trinity is undefeated through nine contests including a 16-1 home win over Holy Innocents’ in an area contest on March 22. Junior Mary Markwordt leads the team in scoring followed by seniors Regan McGovern and Mary Deatrick. Senior Payton Fadem has the most assists while junior Sarah Flatt leads the team in groundballs.
“I’ve been very pleased with our team’s performance so far this season,” Blessed Trinity head coach Liz McFarland said. “They are working together as a unit and are very supportive of each other. We have a terrific group of seniors that are providing great leadership and we have quite a bit of depth. We have great expectations for this season as well as future years.”
The Titans will host Woodward Academy on Thursday.
