Girls lacrosse continues into the season with another win against Glendale High School. The girls played Glendale Wed. and continued to secure another win, 16-4.
The team is ranked seventh in Bay League with a current record of 10-2. Compared to other schools and teams in the South Bay, Costa is ranked extremely high. According to senior Madison Calder, this has encouraged the girls to work even harder so that they can continue their winning streak.
“We are currently placed very high in Bay League compared to how we’ve done in the past years,” Calder said. “This makes us work really hard so that we can beat and defeat the other teams that are currently ranked higher than us.”
Before ensuring the win against Glendale High School, the team was still playing incredibly strong. The girls defeated Culver City with an outstanding game and continue to bring that power into all their practices. The motivation from all the wins this season continues to make the team eager to challenge others and win more games.
“We are currently placed very high in Bay League compared to how we’ve done in the past years,” senior Madison Calder said. “This makes us work really hard so that we can beat and defeat the other teams that are currently ranked higher than us.”
The team is run by coaches Maddy Buss, Trenna Hill, and Laurel Vanthof. All three of these coaches put in a lot of time and effort to help better each and every player. The coaches help to transform the team and make this year the best one Costa has ever seen. Having strong practices and lessons is only the first step to ensuring a successful season.
“This year we have a great group of players that work well together offensively and defensively on the field as well as off the field,” senior Grace Stuart said. “I believe that this has given us a great start to the season and will help us end Bay League successfully as well as make it to CIF.”
Sophomore Kate Donnelley has continued to play incredibly in this season so far, according to Calder. Although she is only a sophomore, she has proved to the coaches and her teammates that she is an outstanding player, and this continues to show as the games progress, according to Calder.
“Kate Donnelley has been an amazing teammate to work with so far this season,” Calder said. “You can definitely tell that she is dedicated, and that comes hand in hand with performing on the field. She is one of our many top scorers on the team and will never play down to anyone’s level.”
The girls move on to play Agoura Hills on Monday April 10th. They plan to continue adding to their winning streak and hope to defeat Agoura Hills.
