Lacrosse

Lacrosse season has started and Elizabeth could not be happier.  Both girls are playing again this year, but this is really Elizabeth's sport.  She is playing for both the Juniors and Seniors teams and in their first two games of the season, they are 2-0.  This is quite the feat, as all Middletown girls lacrosse teams have only won two games over their first three seasons.  In the first game, Elizabeth played for the Seniors (mostly 7th and 8th graders) and she scored twice.  She's never taken a shot before - why, we don't know - and Lee and I have really been on her about shooting this year.  I guess it worked!  Her first game was the best we've ever seen her play, and her team as well.  We are really looking forward to watching the games this season.

Sprinting the length of the field in the Seniors game.  Elizabeth plays middie and recovered this ball in the defensive zone, which meant she needed to sprint from one end of the field to the other to set up a scoring opportunity.

In the second half of the first game, Elizabeth won every single draw.  It was awesome!
