Despite improved play from the prior night, it wasn't enough to defeat the Eagles.
We kept the game close in the first half, only allowing trailing 5-3. The second half, we struggled to slow down their attackers and gave up several goals on the draw-and-dump near the crease.
Margaret McKay '25 did a lot for us last night -- scored goals, grabbed ground balls, transitioned the ball down the field, and grabbed four draw controls. Kate Vaughn '24 had a solid game in goal, particularly breaking up the attack of Independence -- she had 5 interceptions in addition to her 7 saves.
Tigers take a break from game play until after spring break when they'll face Webb School of Bell Buckle at home on Thursday, 3/21.
