It’s still early in the season, but the Marjory Stoneman Douglas boys and girls lacrosse teams honored their senior class on Thursday.
The girls had an exciting 11-8 win over Cypress Bay for their fourth victory in their seventh game. Their seniors include Ariella Barbati, Gianna Brier, Sara Dorfman, Skylar Gerena, Ofek Gur, Hannah Leon, Julianne LoFurno, Gigi Sgammato, and Zoe Zentefis. They all made a significant impact, with Gerena leading the team with four goals.
Sgammato had a pair of goals, recorded six draw controls, and Dorfman found the back of the net twice. Head Coach Kristina Stein also said LoFurno and Brier played great defense, forced turnovers, and picked up ground balls and interceptions.
The senior class has been with Coach Stein for four years and were all extremely happy to win on Senior Night.

“It’s a great group of girls,” said Coach Stein. “They are fun, loyal, great teammates and leaders. They will truly be missed by the team.”
The boy’s team followed with a 16-6 victory for their third straight while honoring 15 seniors. Those players include Ethan Grose, Anthony Perillo, Connor Greep, Jordan Sullivan, Ethan Rabess, Nathan Kavanaugh, Zack Stevens, Michael LeLack, Gabe MacKenzie, Matthew Burris, Ryan Patton, Ryan Deck, Quinn Kelly, Landon Reuter, and Jake Okulanis.
