The Yorktown girls’ lacrosse team could not maintain their winning ways after earning the National District title, as they fell to the Robinson Rams 17-7 in the first round of the regional tournament. The Lady Patriots took an early 5-3 lead, but a scoring drought of over 15 minutes proved costly, as they were outscored 5-0 to end the first half, and 9-2 in the second en route to their first loss in ten games. Ella Richardson led Yorktown with a hat trick and Maddy Ernesto added a pair in defeat.
“I think they underestimated us at the start of the game,” Patriots head coach Crystal Morgan said. “We showed them early on that we could compete.”
