Last week in girls high school lacrosse was highlighted by some big games in the Tri-State area.
St. Anthonys (NY) had a huge week, going 2-0 while playing two of the top teams on Long Island. First on Wednesday, the Friars hosted Garden City (NY) and knocked off the previously undefeated Trojans in impressive fashion, winning 11-6.
Then on Friday, the Friars traveled to Manhasset (NY), where they took down the Indians in overtime, 11-9. After an early loss in Florida to Vero Beach (FL), the Friars have been dominant, amassing a 13-1 overall record.
It was also a big week for Moorestown (NJ), who went 2-0 to keep their undefeated season going at 17-0. The first of their two wins this week came last Tuesday over previously unbeaten Shawnee (NJ) by an 8-4 final. Then on Thursday, the Quakers took down Pennsylvania power Conestoga (PA), 15-10.
