The Southern Lehigh girls’ lacrosse team recently began their spring season. The team, lead by senior captains Katelyn Ambrose, Lily Shields, Mariah Moyer and Cailyn Breski, is currently 7-2.
The girls started off the season rough with a loss to Upper Perkiomen and Baldwin School. But that did not slow them down; in their third game of the season, they came back from being down against Emmaus to win by one goal.
“[W]e were on a roll after Emmaus,” sophomore Kristin Kidd said. “It feels great to make such a strong comeback after out slow start.”
The team has continued on a winning streak beating Moravian, Easton and Nazareth. Nazareth was a big game since last year Nazareth beat the girls, knocking them out of playoffs. That loss gave them the motivation to go on and beat Nazareth 11-5 this season.
“It was awesome crushing Nazareth [because] they beat us in district finals last year,” sophomore Lizzy Lievendag said. “You could see they were getting upset with each other, and it was great because we really worked as a team.”
The team is working hard to prepare for one their toughest games this season against Wyoming Seminary on April 18th. Playoffs begin May 16th.
