The Rye Girls Lacrosse Team moved to 3-0 in league play on Friday, May 2, defeating Bronxville 15-5 on home soil. The Garnets’ offense surged on a night where the final score was not the only important outcome.
“The night was extra special as both JV and varsity teams from both programs dedicated their games to Morgan’s Message,” Varsity Head Coach Michelle Mason told MyRye.com after the game. “May is Mental Health Awareness month and we were able to raise meaningful funds to donate to Morgan’s Message and support eliminating the stigma surrounding student-athlete mental health.”
Both Rye teams honored the occasion with huge offensive performances, as the JV Garnets won 16-8 and the varsity team 15-5. At the top level, Mason’s group led 7-2 after the first quarter and were able to cruise from there.
“The Garnets started fast and never looked back in our win over Bronxville,” Mason told MyRye.com. “The pace of play was outstanding and we were clicking throughout the entire field.”
All seven starters recorded at least one point for Rye as the Garnets piled up fifteen goals. On the other side, the defensive unit was just as impressive, holding the visiting Broncos to just five goals. Katherine Ebeling had a banner night in goal with a .667 save percentage and ten saves.
