Caz girls lacrosse falls to Westhill, General Brown

By Phil BlACkwEll

A busy closing stretch of the regular season for the Cazenovia girls lacrosse team did not start on a good note.

Up against Westhill last Monday night, the Lakers found itself overwhelmed on both ends, leading to a 20-3 defeat.

Riley Knapp scored twice in the fist half and Julia Reff added a goal, with Katie Rajkowski, Maren Smith and Charlie

Prior each picking up assists.

Even with that, though, Westhill went up 11-3 by halftime and blanked Cazenovia the rest of the way. Olivia Lints had seven saves as, for Westhill, Adelaide Lowery scored five times, with Rosemary Mahoney, Kara Rosenb erger and Karly Dillobaugh getting three goals apiece.

Cazenovia rebounded on Wednesday night with a 12-9 victory over VernonVerona-Sherrill, the Lakers getting out in front 7-4 by halftime and then equaling everything the Red Devils produced in the late going.

Reff scored four times, contributing an assist, and the rest was spread around well as Rajkowski, Knapp, Prior and Madison DeAngelis each got two goals and Smith had two assists. Eliza Smith recorded five saves.

Playing one more time at home Friday night, Cazenovia welcomed General

Brown, and despite a solid offensive effort again found itself taking a defeat, 15-11, to the Lions.

Rajkowski and Knapp carried Cazenovia’s attack for long stretches, with Rajkowski scoring six times and Knapp three times. DeAngelis and Hayden Bubble both had one goal and one assist, while GB got five goals from Trinity Stowell, four goals from Alivia Cross and three goals from Ava Dupee.
