The Summit High School varsity girls lacrosse team dropped to 0-2 on the season in a 14-4 home loss to Eagle Valley Tuesday, May 11.
The Tigers scored four goals on 14 shots in a game where they responded in the second half after the Devils dominated the first half. The Tigers struggled to win possession at the faceoff X, getting shutout at midfield through the first half. The lack of success on the draws enabled the Devils to build a lead with the vast majority of possession.
Tigers head coach Samantha Lonsway said the Tigers improved through the game, counterattacking with groundball recoveries. The coach said Summit’s best offense came from saves and clearances starting with senior goaltender Sydney Mullins. Those solid attacks started with the goaltender having the ball and clearing it to the side via passes to her teammates out of the net.
