New England Showcase

On Sunday, Elizabeth played her final lacrosse games of the fall and of 2020.  The season ended less than twelve hours before Connecticut banned youth sports from playing in tournaments and from playing teams from out of state due to COVID19.  She played three consecutive games at the New England Showcase.  The players were required to wear masks and Elizabeth had a very difficult time in the first game with the mask and the 80 degree temps, but she eventually acclimated and had some great plays in the second game and played very well in the third game.  As things currently stand, she won't have the opportunity to play lacrosse again until late April 2021, at the earliest, so we are so glad that she was able to get in these last few months of play.

Defending in the first game.

The goalies at the last two tournaments were unbelievable.  Rather than watching offensive players for great goals, we watched the goalies all make unbelievable saves.  Here, it looks like Elizabeth literally shot into the goalie's net - I can assure you, she took a great shot - but the goalie was incredible and fast.  This was one of about 10 saves that materialized out of nowhere during this game.
