Raiders Girls LAX Falls Short in County Tournament
Ridge tops Hillsborough to claim county title.
The Ridge High School girls lacrosse team launched this season's opening game with a win over Hillsborough, and on Tuesday night faced 'boro again in a high-energy contest for the Somerset County Tournament title, played at Bridgewater-Raritan's stadium.
This time, the buzzer ran with the Red Devils ahead by 19-14, giving the girls the county crown.
Although the Ridge girls broke past a tie of 2-2 to score goal after goal in the first half — at one point ahead by more than a half-dozen goals — Hillsborough wasn't about to hand the Red Devils the win on a silver platter.
