Lacrosse Teams Split Games

BOYS LACROSSE

Farmington 11, Berlin 5

On Saturday, April 7, the BHS boy's lacrosse team made its varsity debut away at Farmington. Although Farmington won the game, 11-5, Coach Scott Rossi took quite a few positives away from the loss:

"I was pleased with how our goalie, Matt Cote, played," Rossi said. "He made 12 stops, and most of those were at close range.  I also liked how hard our seniors Brandon Ralph and Ryan Wearne worked; it seemed like they were everywhere on the field. 

"Tyler Bouchard caused five turnovers on defense and cleared the ball well for us. We have a lot of new faces on this team, and as they continue to practice and play together they'll become much more competitive."

Berlin hosts their first varsity boys' lacrosse game against Rocky Hill on Tuesday, April 10 at 7 p.m.

GIRL'S LACROSSE

Berlin 15, Bunnell 6

Shannon Murphy and Robyn Riggott scored four goals each to lead the Berlin girl's lacrosse team to a big win over host Bunnell in Stratford Saturday.

Cassidy Goodwin, Bridget White and Bianca Jacques all scored two goals for Berlin while Jenn Straub added a solo goal. 

"Robyn Riggot had an amazing game controlling the entire field," said Berlin coach Laura Abbatemarco. "Both Shannon Murphy and Bridge White had excellent performances."

The junior varsity team also won, 12-3. Lauren Criniti scored three goals while Kaley Sokolowski and Kelly Shea added two and Olivia Jacques, Olivia Martino, Lindsey Stefens, Leah Pawelcyk and Caitlyn DiCioccio added a goal each. Berlin also got a strong performance from goalie Kas Colasanti.
