Harvey and Wooster Split in Saturday Contests
It was win one, lose one for Harvey against Wooster Saturday.
The Harvey girls lacrosse team got back on track Saturday by defeating the Wooster School 14-10. The Lady Cavaliers started out fast and strong attacking the Wooster goalie and sustaining pressure in the offensive zone.
With Harvey up by six goals to start the second half, Wooster began to battle back, but goaltender Ariana Weaver helped the Lady Cavs hold the lead with 12 saves. Harvey was led by the relentless efforts of senior Brittany Smith who had six goals and an assist.
Coach Greg Janos gave kudos to Smith. “Brittany is a leader, a take control kind of player,” said the coach. “When the game is close, she wants the ball. She does not want to lose. You can't teach that type of attitude."

Senior Audrey Rowe continued to stay hot, scoring two goals. Coach Janos called Rowe “a game changer.” He said, “Audrey plays hard and most likely has the hardest shot in the league. Nobody wants to get in front of it."
Seventh-grader Sophia Scarsella, a newcomer to the team, had a standout performance, netting two goals and assisting in another. Coach Janos likes what Scarsella brings to the team. “Sophia comes to LAX every day ready to work and she’s a player to keep your eye on over the next few years."
