A great season for the girls lacrosse team ended with a loss of 16-6 in the Maryland 3A state semifinals against Howard County’s Marriotts Ridge. The game started evenly between both teams. After the first quarter ended, Marriott Ridge quickly took the lead and kept it throughout the entire game. The Warriors held their heads high, proudly recognizing their success and accomplishments throughout the season. “The girls fought to the end and we can not be prouder of what we have achieved this season,” said senior captain Abby Sorkin.
Added senior captain Avery Graham, “it was an amazing season with a great group of girls.” The Warriors went undefeated 16-0 during the regular season, followed by a dramatic 15-13 victory over Quince Orchard in the MCPS county finals.
Quince Orchard put up a fight, but Sherwood held their ground and secured the win to bring home the county title. The Warrior cruised through the opening rounds of the playoffs; after a bye, they crushed Guilford Park 16-0 in the second round. Sherwood then faced Reservoir and won 19-4 to bring home yet another regional title and solidify its status as one of the very best girls lacrosse programs in the area.
As the season concludes, they look forward working hard, performing their best, and finding ways to improve while forgoing weaknesses.
