In a stunning display of teamwork and skill, the Blugold lacrosse team recently secured a remarkable 30-8 victory over the Southwestern University Pirates on April 12. Fans in attendance were treated to an exciting match that pulled them to the edge of their seats as the Blugolds showcased their talent on the field. However, despite the overwhelming success, Coach Michael Rhodovi had a mixed response to the massive goal differential, highlighting that it may influence playoff standings.
During the game, the Blugolds surged ahead, initially leading by six goals before the Pirates could score. This early momentum prompted the team to reevaluate their strategy following a timeout, demonstrating their adaptability and focus on the game. By the time the halftime whistle blew, the Blugolds had extended their lead to an impressive 18-5.
One of the standout moments of the match was the team’s incredible scoring streaks. They wowed the crowd with back-to-back scoring runs, netting an astounding 10 consecutive goals followed by 8 more, which left the Pirates struggling to keep up for much of the game.
Midfielder Reegan Werner praised the victory, attributing the large lead to the exceptional skills and collaboration of the entire team. It was also a historic day for third-year midfielder Devon Crews, who scored six points, reaching an exciting milestone of her 100th career point. She became the fifth Blugold lacrosse player to achieve this honor, adding an extra layer of celebration to the already successful outing.
As Crews approached her milestone, her teammate Alexandria Shea made the rest of the team aware, resulting in an enthusiastic response when Crews officially scored her 100th point. Such moments create lasting memories for the athletes and strengthen team camaraderie, which is essential in any competitive sport.
Post-game, the atmosphere remained celebratory as the team was greeted by a warm gesture from defense player Capri Hanson’s father, who surprised the athletes with delicious homemade banana bread. This thoughtful tradition has become a cherished part of Blugold lacrosse culture, showcasing the unwavering support from families and the community. Alexandria Shea noted that Hanson’s father has been known to deliver banana bread even at late hours, emphasizing his dedication to cheering on the team.
Sisters Alexandria and Victoria Shea, two prominent players on the team, recently shared their experiences on the “Rolling with the Golds” podcast. They discussed their close sisterly bond, which facilitates quick and effective communication during games. Victoria emphasized how their relationship contributes positively to the team’s dynamic, allowing for seamless collaboration on the field.
The Blugolds are not resting on their laurels; they have another significant matchup coming up against the College of Saint Benedict on April 14. Alexandria Shea anticipates this game will present tougher challenges, highlighting the importance of preparation. Coach Rhodovi plans to review footage from their previous game against the Ravens to devise strategies that will capitalize on favorable matchups for attack players, ensuring the Blugolds remain on the path to success as they look to continue their winning streak.
With spirits high and the bond among players growing stronger, the Blugold lacrosse team is ready to face the next challenge head-on. Fans and supporters are certainly excited to see what unfolds in the upcoming match!
