Marshall Girls Lacrosse Makes History With Northern Region Playoff Win

The Marshall High School Girls Lacrosse team upset top Patriot District seed Woodson High School in a 12-11 win on Tuesday night.

Seven  statesmen added goals on the night: Katherine Van Winkle, Annie Greenwood, Allie Johnson, Kelly Brown, April Reinhart, Rachel Waldron and Jocelyn Golden.

Christine LaBarbara and Jessica Taylor led the defense with five ground balls and three caused turnovers a piece. Goalie Meredith Crizer had 5 saves on the night.

Marshall led the game 8-6 at halftime. They built their lead to 9 - 6 but Woodson's scrappy play brought the score to a 9 - 9 tie. 

The action was back and forth for the rest of the game with Golden and Van Winkle scoring goals 11 and 12.  Crizer had a huge save with just two minutes left in the game to protect the lead.  In the final two minutes the Statesmen were able to kill the clock with strong passing and balling handling.

The Statesmen are now 10-4 for the season and continue to the regional quarter finals at Chantilly on Thursday for a chance to move on to the regional semi-finals.
