By JUSTIN GODINO

HAILEY SCHNEIDER FOR THE WIZARD WEEKLY

This past Tuesday, May 16th, the Washingtonville girls’ lacrosse team had their senior game against the Middletown Middie Bears. The girls have six seniors graduating this year: Bella Cosentino, Hailey Schneider, Kate Annesi, Jaclyn Barillaro, Jill Donlon, and Aislinn Mcaleer.  

The Wizards were able to stay ahead for almost the entire game.  Bella Cosentino and Taylor Amato had a majority of the goals for the Wizards.   Nate Sorenson, a spectator and avid lacrosse fan, had this to say boy the girls’ performance.  “I think they are playing really well together. They are really moving the ball around proficiently.”   

The Wizards were playing very cohesively as a team and were able to move the ball around without an abundance of problems or turnovers.  They were also able to flawlessly create shot opportunities and their passing allowed them to obtain fast breaks.  The Wizards were able to win the game with a close score of 7-6.  

What makes this win special, is that it was the senior girls’ last home game.  Bella Cosentino, senior captain of the team, was pleased with the overall performance of her team.  She claimed, “It feels good to win the last home game of our high school careers in front of all of our supporters.”   

The girls are ranked high both nationally and on the state level. They have an away game on Wednesday, May 17th, against Newburgh Free Academy.  Come out and show your support.
