Lebanon County H.S. Highlights: March 24th


 

Game of the night

Cedar Crest girls lacrosse 12, Red Lion 7

Their season's goal and motto are the exact same: get tough.

But after Thursday night, these Falcons may needed to reassess. Just ask the Lions, recent Cedar Crest visitors, who were not only out-played but out-toughed in their shared home opener.

Down 3-0 in a matter of minutes, Cedar Crest stormed back to outscore visiting Red Lion by eight over the remainder of its 2016 debut. Junior Abbey Castor led all Falcons with four goals, two netted in each half, while fellow junior Riley Blatt recorded the lone other Cedar Crest hat trick.

"In the past we've been more of a second-half team, but the focus this year for the girls was to take control right away," Falcons coach Emma Lebo said. "And when we got down early, the girls didn't let it get in their heads, they regrouped.

"We have an awesome group of leaders this year, who took control and said let's get back in this. And then people started scoring."

Player of the night

Lexie Eberly, Cedar Crest senior

Eberly was charged with locking down Red Lion star Alyssa Adams, a Cincinnati women's lacrosse commit, who finished Thursday's showdown with just one score. Meanwhile, Eberly collected two goals of her own, as the Falcons dominated at both ends after intermission. She's returned with Sydney Laicha, Emma Peeler and Margaret Zug to lead a staunch Cedar Crest defense this spring.
