Cavs Finish 6-1 in Patriot District

The Woodson girls lacrosse team ended their regular season Wednesday with a 6 – 1 record in the district. 

The Cavaliers girls lacrosse team traveled east down Little River Turnpike on Saturday morning to face local rival Annandale in a Patriot District match up.  After a tight first half Woodson eventually pulled away from the Atoms en route to a 16 – 10 win. 

The Atoms started strong, getting on the scoreboard quickly to take a 2 – 0 lead. The teams then battled back and forth to a 6 – 6 tie midway through the half. The game remained close before Woodson went on a scoring run to take a four goal lead at halftime, 10 - 6. 

The scoring pace slowed in the second half as both teams went scoreless deep into the period. Woodson finally found its offensive rhythm midway through the half and moved out to a comfortable lead, cruising to the 16 – 10 final. 

Woodson displayed a balanced scoring sheet with eight players tallying goals.  The Cavs’ staunch defense was led by Ali Kiviat, Morgan Willard, Katie Hayes, and goalie Victoria Vinall.  Annandale was led on offense by Paige Britton and Mackenzie Wright. On defense, Atoms’ goalie Kaitlin Martindale had a fine game turning back a number of Cavs’ scoring attempts.  

Woodson returned to action Monday night with a 10 – 14 loss against Lake Braddock. The Cavs fought back to finish the regular season with a Wednesday victory (14 – 1) against Robert E. Lee in Springfield.
