Watchung Hills Falls to Pingry 18-3

The Watchung Hills Regional High School girls lacrosse team dropped their 2011 home opener against offensively talented Pingry High School at home on Monday evening, losing 18-3.

In Short

Watchung Hills struggled to keep up with the attack of Pingry, as they were able to create a constant offensive rhythm in the Watchung defensive end.  Pingry’s defense also denied a consistent attack from the Warrior offense.  Watchung did have a few chances late in the 1^st period, and momentum could have changed early in the 1^st when Watchung midfielder Kelsey Dreyer hit a post, which would have cut the Pingry lead to 3-1.

Warrior of the Game

Kelsey Dreyer – The junior midfielder netted all three goals for the Warrior attack.  Dreyer’s first 2 goals came from strong shots from the lower slot and capped off her day with a breakaway goal towards the end of regulation.

Other key performances – Seniors Jordanna Gregorio and Brittany Santos each added assists.
