Boys Lacrosse

The Huron Valley boys lacrosse team defeated the Knights of Walled Lake Northern in varsity action last night. The varsity team won 11-10, scoring the game winning goal with 4.1 seconds left in the game.

Girls Lacrosse

Team was evident as the Huron Valley varsity girls lacrosse team took the field after an all day tourney on Saturday. It was a great display of cooperation, communication and teamwork on the field, both offensively and defensively.

Within the first five minutes, Huron Valley had racked up five points and realized that this was a game to slow down and execute ball control and strategy on the attack. Defensively speaking, it was the team's greatest display of controlled coverage, keeping fouls to a minimum and keeping the goal free of shots.

The shots that did get through were stopped left and right by goalie, Kathleen Kruszewski-MHS Junior, who had her best game on Huron Valley ever! She held a record high of 79% saves. Huron Valley continued to control the ball and dominate the midfield, putting up scores consistently throughout the game with an end score of 13-4.

Dominating the offense was Caitlin Wojichowski-LHS Senior, with 4 goals, 1 assist and 11 ground balls. Following her was Dominique Zigo-LHS Sophomore with 3 goals and 2 assists and Nicole Laflamme-LHS Senior with 3 goals. A key player stepping up her game was Hannah Taylor-LHS Senior with 2 goals and 1 assist. Taylor Law-MHS Junior joined the scoring force with 1 goal. Rachel Wroblewski-IB Junior led the defense with 4 ground balls, 2 checks and 2 caused turnovers. This combination of efforts and determination is key to Huron Valley taking on their next opponent, KLAA partner Hartland on Wednesday.

Girls Tennis

The Lakeland girls tennis team improved to 4-0 in the KLAA North with a 9-0 victory over Waterford Kettering.

A win over WLC on Tuesday would earn them their 2nd KLAA North title in the past three seasons.

Baseball

Lakeland rode the arm of Andrew Laverenz to their first KLAA win of the season, defeating Pinckney 6-0. Laverenz struck out four while tossing six scoreless innings and walking none.

Josh Martin shut the door in the seventh striking out two of the three hitters he faced. Laverenz used a solid defensive performance behind him inducing ground ball out after ground ball out.

Offensively the Eagles were paced by Bobby Schumacher, Mikail Sizen, and Kevin Lechner each with two hits. Jack Flynn scored twice. Wes Beaumarchais picked up his first varsity hit.

Lakeland will host rival Walled Lake Northern on Wednesday at Eagle Park. The doubleheader is scheduled to start at 4 p.m.
