Middle School Girls Lacrosse

The middle school girls lacrosse Warriors ended the season with a 12-3 victory at Grace Christian Tuesday. Connor Lang led the scoring with three goals and a pair of assists. Margaret Scoggin and Ellie Stoltz scored twice, while Medlin Weddington, Grace Viera, Elizabeth Barnes, Elizabeth Williamson and Carolyn Ames scored once. “Our team really improved from the start of the season,” said coach Anne Barnes, whose Warriors finished 3-6. “Ball movement, flow of the game and field presence were central to our growth. We completed many long passes in the final game, which is something we’ve worked on all year. We were unselfish and grew in all areas.”

The middle school girls lacrosse Warriors rallied from a five goal halftime deficit, but lost to Durham Academy, 9-6, Wednesday at the Satellite Athletic Complex. “We played much better in the second half,” said coach Anne Barnes, whose team is 2-6. “We moved the ball better on offense and tightened up defensively.” Conner Lang and Ellie Stoltz led the scoring with two goals each, while Carolyn Ames and Medlin Weddington scored once.

The middle school girs lacrosse Warriors wiped out an early 4-1 deficit, then held off Durham Academy for an 8-7 victory Thursday in Durham. Connor Lang led the scoring with three goals, while Elizabeth Barnes scored twice. Medlin Weddington, Grace Viera and Carolyn Ames each scored once. “We were a little disappointed with the way we played in our last game (a loss to Mills Park), said coach Anne Barnes, whose team is  2-2. “We overcame a slow start with toughness and came out with a win. Emma Teague did a great job marking their best offensive player and Margaret Scoggin had 10 saves in goal. Lila Smith played tough defense and Kailyn Woodall secured numerous ground balls that started our offense. Everybody contributed and those are the best wins.”

We jumped out early, then played people at different positions that will help us later on. Our girls played well and we are always glad to win.” Connor Lang led the scoring with three goals and an assist. Medlin Weddington, Ellie Stolz and Dillon Stallings scored twice. Elizabeth Barnes, Grace Viera and Kailyn Woodall each scored a goal. Weddington also chipped in a pair of assists.
