Millbrook @ IMS
The girls jv lacrosse team travelled on a picture
perfect day to Indian Mountain, a long time rival (and friend to
Millbrook!) This was the first game of the season for IMS but even so,
they hustled, connected well with passes, and shot with authority.
Although Millbrook prevailed 14-6, the game was closer than the score
indicates. IMS has some excellent stick skill and speed; when we meet
again in a few weeks, I'm sure we will have our hands full!
It's very gratifying when the goal scoring is spread out and in this case, 8 lady Mustangs scored: Annie, Wendy, Claire and Jesse each notched one goal while Georgia and Sophie scored 2 goals each and Taylor Nelson and Zoe scored hat tricks. Georgia, Sarah and Claire also had one assist each.
Millbrook's defense played with grit and determination. Because this was IMS' first outing, they decided to play modified checking rules, so that took us a bit out of our game, but the Mustang defense adjusted and exhibited excellent body positioning and shadowed sticks, working IMS attackers into double teams and thereby winning the ball. Caroline, Lauren, Maya, Cora, Claire, CeeCee and Tyra all played solid defense. Emma Hart in goal made and impressive 9 saves and showed marked improvement in her ability to clear to ball beyond the restraining line, giving our offense a nice jump start.
A nice game for the Mustangs!
