Check out the results for SOL girls’ lacrosse teams in action on Tuesday.
American Conference
UPPER DUBLIN 18, PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH 12
The Cardinals and Colonials found themselves deadlocked 8-8 at halftime of Tuesday’s conference battle. The game took a decidedly different turn in a second half that saw the Cardinals score 10 goals while limiting their visitors to just four.
“At halftime, I told them that PW knows how to win,” UD coach Dee Cross said. “They won the league last year, and field hockey, volleyball and basketball (won conference championships) this year.
“We challenged them to show mental toughness in the second half and show what we were made of. They responded with a nine-goal run to start the half.”
The Cardinals received huge performances from a trio of players. Jackie Rama had five goals, four assists and 10 draw controls. Mack Moore had four goals and five assists, and Lindsey Schreiber had a team-high six goals to go along with five draw controls and five ground balls.
Aly Breslin added two goals and one assist, and Caroline Wall had one goal and two assists. Hannah Reape had a pair of assists, and Shannon Reape had one assist.
Sara Herchenroder had seven saves in goal for the Cardinals.
For the Colonials, Ali Diamond (three goals, two assists) and Victoria Betterly (three goals, one assist) led the way. Lexi Petrakis and Olivia Andrews each had two goals while Sam Ward and Raquel Basken both had one goal.
