Mixed results provided ample coaching tape for the four Monroe County lacrosse squads to start the month.
The Lady Conchs fell to 3-4 after a pair of losses last week. On March 5, Key West lost to the Warriors of Westminster. Mavis Bishop scored four goals while Colbie Turner, Tegan Shea and Taylor Gibson added two apiece. Ashlyn Picco accounted for the final goal in the 20-11 loss. Two days later, Miami Country Day delivered the blow to the Conchs in an 8-7 loss.
The Lady ’Canes also suffered two losses last week, first to Coral Reef on March 4 in an evenly-matched contest that ended in a 9-7 stumble for Coral Shores. A game against American Heritage on March 6 proved to be a more lopsided matchup. The Hurricanes lost 15-3 to the Patriots at home to bring them to 4-3 on the season.
Key West’s boys split the week, with their loss coming on March 4 against Westminster Christian. The Warriors outscored the Conchs 11-8. A March 6 matchup against the Barracudas of Coral Reef proved more fruitful for Key West, who won 11-7. Key West stands at 6-2 with less than a month to go in the regular season.
The Hurricanes also split the week, losing to Gulliver Prep in an 11-10 heartbreaker on March 4. Coral Shores led until the fourth quarter, when the Raiders made good on their name, scoring four and stealing a win. Two days later, the Hurricanes were in top form, blowing by Miami Country Day in a 9-2 win. Brock Bynum saved 13 of 15 shots on goal to help seal the victory and bring the team’s record to 7-3.
Teams play this week, then take a rest while schools are closed for spring break. The first order of business after the break will be in-county clashes. The Conchs and ’Canes boys play one another in Tavernier on March 25 while the girls face off the following day in Key West.
