Burlington Girls' Lax Loses to Lexington for Second Time this Season

The girls’ lacrosse team fell for the second time this season to Lexington High School, this time 17-6. The Red Devils were almost tripled Tuesday afternoon on the road at Lincoln Field against the strength of Lexington’s seniors during the Minutemen’s senior day.

Burlington was down three goals to none in the first two minutes as Lexington senior captain Diana Hines, senior Amanda Bouchard and senior captain Meghan McNabb sliced in shots in the crease. The three seniors rammed their way through Burlington’s defense as far as to practically stand in the net with their shots.

The Red Devils were only able to come within two goals, 3-1, during the entire game, from Burlington’s first score at 22:51 in the first.

Jean Hanafin and Carissa Healy each scored twice for Burlington, while Jodi Han and Kat Trahan had one goal apiece. Erin Clark and Rachel Joyce each recorded one assist.

It was a difficult match for the Red Devils, especially in the first half, as Lexington outscored Burlington 10-4 after the game’s first four goals.

Hines scored at 22:04 on a penalty shot, at 12:23, taking the ball from the center up the middle for the goal, and with 0:29 remaining in the first half.

McNabb threw in her second goal, Lexington’s fifth, at 20:44. At 14:06 she ran, once again, up the field weaving her way around Red Devils and into the crease for the shot. And at 13:11 she scored with a spinning move.

Bouchard netted in her second goal at 19:12 and senior Bridget Everett nabbed the Minutemen’s 10th goal at 11:36 on a penalty.

Lexington added its 11th and 12th goals at 7:16 and 4:26, respectively, putting the team up 13-5 going into the second half.

Burlington was playing with more force in the second, but the young team was struggling against Lexington’s veterans.

The Red Devils were able to get through Lexington’s goalie once in the final 25 minutes of play, scoring at 12:36. The Minutemen, however, slung in four.

Hines put in Lexington’s 14th goal at 15:54, the team’s 15th was went in the net at 15:01, senior captain Catherine Dugan made her first goal of the game at 8:53, increasing Lexington’s lead to 10 goals, and the Minutemen’s 17th and final goal was scored at 7:11 by senior Victoria Chan.
