Girls’ Lacrosse Struggles in Second Half Vs. Lincoln

LINCOLN – The Narragansett girls’ lacrosse team almost overcome a large deficit, but faltered in the second half in an 18-9 loss to the Lions.

According to Narragansett coach Ken Andronowitz, the Mariners (9-6, 9-5 Division II-South) and the Lions (15-0, 14-0 Division II-North) played “neck and neck through much of the first half,” with Narragansett trailing 10-7 after 25 minutes.

In the second half, Andronowitz said the Mariners scored a pair of goals to pull within one, but unfortunately, the Lions scored the next eight for the 18-9 final.

According to a box score by The Providence Journal, junior Sam Sabetti lead Narragansett with five goals. Senior Kiani Carroll, who was averaging about six goals a game, was limited to one by the Lions.

Tess McNamara, Eliza DeCubellis and Kara Heatherton each had a goal for Narragansett. Caitlin Skenyon finished with 10 saves.

Andronowitz said that Carroll intends to play lacrosse in college at Division II Florida Southern. He said other seniors indicated they might continue with club lacrosse.

The Mariners finished the year with nine victories, their best mark since 2006, when Narragansett went 14-2 in league play, according to records maintained by the Rhode Island High School Sports website. For seniors Carroll, Skenyon, McNamara, Adelle Tetreault, Rachel Gouveia, Rachel Adronowitz and Jamie Swanberg, this was the only winning lacrosse season in their high school career.
