The Rock Prevailed (FB)


It was a hard fought battle against the Rock.  The dragons started out strong with a goal right out of the gate, but Slipper Rock answered back with 3.  Though the hard work and consistent effort by the Dragons fell short and they were trumped 17-10.  Katie Clarke, freshmen mid fielder, dominated the draw controls with fifteen, but it wasn’t enough to keep the ball on the attacking end. 

The game boiled down to caused turn over’s.  The Dragons fell back into their own ways with a total of 27 turnovers to their 13 that really hurt the team.  Freshmen goalie Jessica Bombard had an outstanding game with 20 saves to add to her total current career of 206 saves, making her one of the top 10 goal keepers in DII for this 2012 season.

With two games left Lady TU LAX really wants to end strong, especially the seniors who will not be returning next year.  Heather Denaro, Anna Tong, Elyse Braun, & Kelley Miller will not be returning next season, all of whom are starters. 

“It’s my last year playing lacrosse at this level.  Its bitter sweet in the sense my body is ready to call it quits, but mentally I am ready to go and don’t want it to be over haha.  I will miss my teammates and wish them the best of luck in the future and I’ll be cheering them on from the stands.”  Senior Anna Tong stated on the bus ride back home from PA.
