District lacrosse: Kennard-Dale, Susquehannock set scoring records
Two York County girls' lacrosse teams won their District 3 Class 2A tournament openers in record fashion Monday, posting the two highest single-game goal totals in the district's girls' playoff history.
Kennard-Dale set the record with 29 goals in its 29-2 home victory against Harrisburg Christian. The second-seeded Rams led 20-1 at the half. Emmie Dressel led the way for the Rams with three goals and 13 assists.
Top-seeded Susquehannock, meanwhile, would have had the record to itself if not for the Rams. The Warriors picked up a 28-4 win at home against West York, the second highest single playoff game total in District 3 girls' lacrosse history. The Warriors received five goals apiece from Gena Speights, Harley Mummert and Rachel Marshner.
