Girls Varsity Lacrosse Team Secures First Win in Three Seasons

SABRINA BROWN ‘09

With the season coming to an end, the Girls Varsity Lacrosse team pulled off their first victory of the season with a win against Berwick Academy on Wednesday the 7th. With goals from Sabrina Fiori ‘08, Maddy Kiefer ‘08, Laura Bulkeley ‘08, and Sabrina Brown ‘09, the team put Berwick to shame, ending the game with a score of 8-5. One of Beaver’s key players in this game was senior Lindsey Yudkoff, who stepped in as goalie. Originally a starting defender, Lindsey volunteered to play goalie when no one else offered, and she has improved immensely since she began playing just a few weeks ago. Although this past Wednesday was only Lindsey’s second game in goal, she excelled in the position and led the team to victory, letting in only four goals and saving eight. With help from new coaches Kristen Chiusano and Sarah Anderson, the team was able to win their first in-league game in three years. The team hopes this is an indication that the program is developing and that the new coaches will lead the team to even more wins in the coming years.
