Sunday afternoon on Long Island saw a girls’ lacrosse game which is the closest thing the Empire State could stage as a Tournament of Champions. In the game, defending CHSAA champion South Huntington St. Anthony’s (N.Y.), defeated Victor (N.Y.), the four-time NYSPHSAA Class B state champion, by a score of 13-2. This keeps our No. 1 team in its place, but there are a number of changes afoot in upcoming weeks because of some mouth-watering games in the leadup to the Gains for Brains Showcase next month.
There are a couple of teams you need to keep an eye on. Tredyffrin Conestoga (Pa.) is playing fearless lacrosse and have a number of big-time victories in Southeastern Pensylvania thus far.
Another side to watch is Alexandria St. Stephen’s/St. Agnes (Va.). The Saints are not averse to playing interstate games, and will have a pair of interesting tests at this year’s Spring Fling, as they will take on Chantilly Paul VI (Va.) and Wilmette Loyola Academy (Ill.).
