Girls Lacrosse: Garnet Valley falls to Conestoga in state title rematch

TREDYFFRIN >> When Garnet Valley and Conestoga met in the 2015 PIAA championship game, the Pioneers saw an early four-goal lead evaporate, leading to the Jaguars’ second-straight state title. In Tuesday’s regular-season rematch, Conestoga did not let the same mistake happen again. With the help of a five-goal run to start the game, the Pioneers were able to put away their Central League rival, 15-10, on a misty night at Teamer Field. With the victory, they also clinched the league crown for the second-straight year.

“We were ready for tonight’s game all day,” said Conestoga midfielder Liz Scott. “The Central League title wasn’t on our minds to be honest. We just wanted to go out there and play our game and come out with a victory.”

The Pioneers (13-0 overall, 9-0 league) were able to get off to the tremendous start thanks to attacker Monica Borzillo. After assisting on the first two goals by Scott and Hannah Ashton, Borzillo put the home team up 3-0 with a score of her own.

“The fast start was huge. We never trailed in this game and getting off to that quick lead helped us get in a rhythm,” said Borzillo, who ended the night with five goals and four assists.

Another goal by Scott, along with one from Paige Loose, opened the lead to 5-0. “They are a great team,” said Jaguars’ coach Jenny Purvis. “We had some communication issues in the first half and that hurt us. I thought we were able to make some adjustments that helped.”

Following a Garnet Valley (7-2, 12-2) timeout, the visitors responded with two quick goals from Kamryn McNeal and Emily Mathewson. However, Conestoga scored six of the next nine to help them establish an 11-5 lead at the halftime break.
