We’re on to the Sweet 16 in the boys and girls lacrosse tournaments!
With 21 area teams still alive, the South Shore seems primed to secure multiple state titles this spring.
The opening rounds of the tournament we’re filled with several star performances, and many top seeds flexed their might.
In a 19-3 romping of Malden Catholic, Hingham’s Caroline Connelly and Grace Maroney tallied five points each.
Scituate’s Katie Tarsala pushed her goal total over the century mark this season, netting five scores to help the Sailors stave off Algonquin’s upset bid in a 10-8 final.
Captain Hannah Geary notched her 100th point of the season in a three goal, three assist performance as Hanover romped 19-8 over Essex North Shore. Fellow captain Sophie Schiller had 10 points of her own in the contest.
On the boys side, Scituate was early to punch their ticket to the Elite 8, doing so with help from Army-bound Willy Robinson, who became the program’s all time leading goal scorer (284) in a six goal game against Dover-Sherborn.
Take a look below at all the Sweet 16 matchups on tap this week in the boys and girls lacrosse tournaments.
