The Mason girls' lacrosse
team ended their tiring week with another win against the McLean School.
In the ladies’ fourth game of the week, six different players scored goals
in the 12-6 victory. On the same field, the Mason boys took on Sidwell
Friends and lost 11-5 despite an early lead.
The game was part of the annual Falls
Church Lacrosse Day, an event which typically features a number of games
by the various levels of lacrosse that exist here in the city. For the
varsity teams, it was also senior day, in which seniors Katy Aylor, Emily
Fellows, Sara Kaplow, Ricky Redick, Luis Falcon, and Clayton Goins were
honored. |
Prior to their 12-6 victory
over McLean School of
Maryland last Saturday, the Mason lacrosse team
cheered each other on for support. |
| In the past week, the
ladies are 2-1, their most successful stand of the season. "We’ve been
playing really well this past week, and our improvement is showing. Our
defense really stepped up this week, and our offense was unbelievable today,"
said captain Kaitlin Bottock.
The ladies’ team lost to Thomas Jefferson
on Thursday, contrary to what was printed in the Washington Post. The ladies
have two more games to look forword to in their first season as a varsity
team, including a rescheduled home game against Wakefield on Friday.
The boys are now 4-7, having beaten
AAA Yorktown last Friday. They also have two games remaining in the season
including a make up game against Wakefield, which has yet to be rescheduled. |
