Hey Dawg Fans!!
California was an amazing trip!! We played 4 games against Pittsburgh, UCLA, Michigan, and Santa Clara. Pittsburgh was a tough loss by two. We beat UCLA and Michigan, and we lost to Santa Clara by 1 in overtime. Highlights of the weekend were beating UCLA and the comeback in the Santa Clara game!! UCLA was a highlight due to the amazing play.. talk about Dawgs lacrosse! We held our own to the runner up in the national championship game last year. We came out strong and showed the West Coast Southern Lax!
Going into the half in the Santa Clara game we were down 1-10—a 9 goal deficit!!!! After an amazing half time speech by Melissa “Fetus” Moore, the team came together and pushed hard to the goal. At the end of the second half, the score was 11-11!!!! We went into overtime where each team scored a goal, then Santa Clara scored the final goal for the win, but it was overall an amazing comeback by the Dawgs.
Other shout outs go to Brooks Leavell for stepping up as a rookie and taking control of the UCLA game, our president- Kaitlin Shumate for planning the trip, and our captains- Taylor Lugash, Mary Cate McCue, and Michele Manis for leading the team every game!!
Other than lacrosse, we enjoyed team dinners, down time on the beach, pool, pier or shopping! On the way back to the airport we spent the day in Santa Monica where we got to shop, spend time on the beach and enjoy dinner! It was such an amazing trip!!!
GO DAWGS!!
Hey Dawg Fans!
Our first game of the season against Tech on March 3rd was a success! We won 19-9! We had one of the best crowds yet! Tons of parents and friends came for the game in Atlanta as well as some girls from the Mill Creek feeder program, and some ATL players and coaches, also we had tons of alumni come up for the game including Laura “Bean” and Sarah “Kane” from last season! The team played their first game together and started meshing immediately! Big plays on offense by Lisa “Avatar” Riondet and Kaitlin Shumate and Michele Manis held the defense together and had tons of checks throughout the game!
Saturday was a fun and cold day of lacrosse! We started the morning with a win over Auburn 20-3! Then Clemson played Auburn for a win, and at 4, we played Clemson and won 19-7! Jenna Dreyer was a huge impact all over the field completing tons of transitions, assists and goals. Emily Seidel was great in the goal stopping countless shots! We had tons of different girls making goals and worked together all over the field! We have had such a great start to the season!
The next time our team will be playing is out in SANTA BARBARA! We are all so excited to get out to California and play 4 top 20 teams! Not to mention the warmth, beaches, and whale watching! It should be an exciting weekend with great lacrosse! We now have the schedule for Santa Barbara & ATOWN on the website so check them out!
GO DAWGS!
