Colonials Bounced From State LAX Tournament

The Morristown High School girls lacrosse team's run in the NJSIAA tournament came to an end Monday with a 17-10 loss to Indian Hills. 

After elimnating Verona with a 14-9 victory on Thursday, the Colonials were matched up with the 18-1 Indian Hills Braves in the quarterfinals. 

"I really respect their coaches and their team. I wish them nothing but the best," said Morristown coach Evan Mager.

It was a physical game early on. Three Indian Hills players received yellow cards in the first half and there were a number of collisions that put players on their backs. 

As a result, Morristown was ahead 6-5 at the end of the first half.

"We knew they were going to come out hard in the second half and they did," said Mager.

Indian Hills scored six straight goals to start the second half. 

"We've got a young team and a very bright future. Our program has improved every year over the past few seasons and it will continute to improve next year."
