Girls Lacrosse Ends Strong

Dunn Girls lacrosse traveled to Midland School on Friday the 29th and won, 15-13.  Dunn was down one coach, as Head Coach Susie Childs had to step in as the referee due to a scheduling conflict.  Christy Davidge took the position as head coach readily.  “The five Seniors led the team in good transitions from offense to defense, almost all of them scored a goal.  All of our shots are what kept us in the lead throughout the game.”

This game marked an end to the 2011 season, and the team agrees that although they had fewer girls on the team this year, they all improved dramatically throughout the season.  The Seniors this year were praised in front of the school assembly on Friday by the rest of the players.  The Seniors, Janaya Reid, Julia Jones, Nikole Layton, Mary Essa, and Sazan Pasori, will be missed.  Dunn will be looking to a solid Freshmen core. The team finished with an overall record in the Condor League of 3-3.  “I think we performed well even though most of our players were new this year,” said Janaya Reid when asked about the overall season.  Mary Essa agrees, “I think we had a great season overall.  I am going to miss bonding with my team mates.  I loved playing ‘hey cow’ with my whole team on the way back from Midland.”  The season has come to a close and the coaches are eagerly awaiting next season and hope that new girls will come and try out the sport.
