Five different Tigers score to defeat JPII in a region game.
It was a sloppy game from the start with lots of dropped passes and ground ball scrums. The Tigers were able to iron things out a bit and get on the scoreboard often, finishing the first half up 8-1. The second half was more of the same, working the ball around the 12m arc, looking to make meaningful and organized cuts through the 8m. We continue to work on building our lacrosse IQ and making better decisions with and without the ball.
Olivia Dossett '19 led our scoring efforts with four goals. Lia Payne '22 added three goals and two assists. Ellie Bowles '22, Maggie Robinson '19, and Rosalie Hinke '22 added three, two, and one goal, respectively.

Meanwhile, eight runners competed at the state track and field meet in Knoxville, where Griffin Davidson '27, Caleb Freifeld '28, Drew Zwerner '28, and Jack Fruin '27, sprinted to first in the 4x800m relay and Jack also placed first in the 800m dash.
