Despite disturbing rain and chilly weather, the JV girls’ lacrosse team fought the Austin High Maroons on Wednesday, April 3 and finished the game strong with a score of 9-6. With weeks of preparation and dedication towards this victory, the Lady Warriors have now opened up the possibility of competing at playoffs.

“It was really awesome. We got to try a lot of new plays that we haven’t done before in real action, and they succeeded which is really awesome. We worked really well which is awesome for a team where most of us are new players,” Riya Shah ’20. “The overall season was pretty cool. Apparently if we win our next game we’ll go to playoffs, which I did not see coming because we only have twelve girls on the team on a good day. We had to forfeit some of the games, but it’s really awesome that we’re doing so well for having such a disadvantage.”

Throughout the game, the Lady Warriors set a precedent in both effort and tactics, pushing them towards success. Moreover, especially in moments of stress, the junior varsity girls held a strong offensive game, allowing them to secure their score advantage.

Support the Lady Warriors at their last game of the season which has yet to be rescheduled due to weather conditions.
