Girls Lax Advances to Tournament Final!

While yesterday's downpours seemed suitable only for ducks, the Girls Lacrosse team showed how Hornets can still swarm under the conditions, as they defeated the Harvey School 16-11 in a semifinal match up in the inaugural Western New England Prep School Women's Lacrosse Association (WNEPSWLA) Class C Tournament played at the Ethel Walker School in Simsbury. The two teams battled each other and the weather to earn a 9-9 deadlock at halftime. However, the Hornets turned on the jets in the second frame to outscore the Hudson Valley Conference champions 7-2. The Hornet defense also held the Cavaliers' attack scoreless for the final 18 minutes and 25 seconds of the second half to nail down the victory. Senior Maisa DellaValle led all scorers with 7 goals, while Justyna Breuler had 4 goals, Karis Curtis had 3, and freshman Claire Shemo added 2. Karis Curtis also dominated the draw circle and collected a game high 13 draw controls. 
 
The Hornets will face Ethel Walker in the championship game on Sunday, May 20th, at 3 PM at the Ethel Walker. More inclement weather is expected, so hopefully the Hornets will continue to rain down goals this afternoon. Go Hornets!
