The Summit High School varsity girls lacrosse team will play an intense, aggressive style in its first year under head coach Samantha Lonsway.
The Maryland native took over the program ahead of the 2020 season that was ultimately canceled. With the 2021 team, Lonsway will coach a mixture of younger girls she’s previously coached with the Summit Stix club and more veteran players who’ve taken to the coach’s focus on fundamentals and emphasis on having fun.
“Most of us haven’t touched our stick much since the pandemic ended our last season,” senior midfielder Angel LeBaron said. “Coach Sam is great at giving everyone a chance at everything.”

The Summit High School varsity girls volleyball team saw increased contributions from more players in a 3-0 home loss Tuesday night in Breckenridge versus Glenwood Springs.
The Demons defeated the Tigers 25-22, 25-14 and 25-17 in a contest in which first-year head coach Lex Zangari opted to give more players a chance to contribute to the action than in Summit’s three previous losses to start the season.
“After Saturday, it just kind of seemed like we needed a bit of a reset,” Zangari said about the 0-4 side. “The day before I told the girls, we had a good conversation about the mental aspect to stay invested in the game. The word choice I used was to have the intention to push and keep playing despite making mistakes.”
