Jody Brown Leads Georgetown Past
St. Michael's
Senior attackman Jody Brown registered a game-high
eight points on six goals and two assists to lead Georgetown to a 12-9
victory over St. Michael’s Academy in a Texas High School Lacrosse League
Central District Division II game Wednesday night.
Senior attackman Talor Wright added five points on three goals and two
assists, and junior middie Derek Sudderth finished with four points on
three goals and one assist to help the Eagles (2-2) snap a two-game losing
streak.
In a losing effort, senior middie Luke Loussau scored four goals and had
one assist for St. Michael’s (0-1), which lost its season opener.
The game was tied, 1-1, at the end of the first quarter before Georgetown
broke the game open with a seven-goal second quarter to take control. The
Eagles led 8-3 at halftime and 10-6 at the end of the third quarter.
St. Michael’s made a game of it in the fourth, getting as close as 11-9.
But Brown capped off the victory when he scored his sixth of the night
with 27 seconds remaining in regulation.
“We played our most complete game of the season so far,” Georgetown head
coach Scott Conrad said. “We were missing a couple key players tonight,
and our team stepped up as a whole to fill the void.”
Georgetown Girls Win First-Ever
Varsity Game, 6-4
Earlier this month, the Georgetown boys lacrosse
team won its first-ever varsity game. On Saturday, it was the girls’ turn
to make history.
Senior middie Bethany Wallace registered a game-high four points on two
goals and two assists to lead the Eagles to a 6-4 victory over Stony Point
in the first girls lacrosse varsity game in school history.
Junior attack Marija Stalevic added three goals, and junior defender Molly
Greenfield scored once to help Georgetown (1-0) get its first win in a
Texas Girls High School Lacrosse League Central District game.
Defensively, sophomore goalie Amy Castillo saved six shots.
Stony Point fell to 1-3.
It took Georgetown 25 minutes to get going. Stony Point led 2-0 at
halftime, but Georgetown used a 5-1 run in the second half to take
control.
Stalevic scored the go-ahead goal with 6:11 remaining in regulation to put
Georgetown ahead 4-3, and Wallace gave the Eagles a two-goal cushion when
she scored with 3:16 to play. Stony Point pulled a goal back 46 seconds
later, but it couldn’t get the equalizer, and Greenfield put the cherry on
top of the win when she scored with five seconds left.
“I was really excited about the way the team played,” Georgetown head
coach Terri Conrad said. “Although we started with some jitters at the
beginning, in the second half our center, Bethany Wallace, really took
over. I think our hard work really paid off.”
