After a terrific regular season, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas girls lacrosse team advanced to District Championship Game.
The Eagles, who went 7-5 in the regular season, defeated Coral Springs High School 21-3 in the quarterfinals. They then beat Spanish River Community High School Tuesday night in the semifinals 17-9.
“This team has been working hard all season,” said Head Coach Kristina Stein. “They are really coming together and getting stronger and stronger.”
The Eagles have received spectacular goaltending the past two games from Bree Rhodes, with Gigi Sgammato scoring three.
On Tuesday, Skylar Gerena led the team with five goals, and Taylor McGovern continued to set her teammates up.
