Seneca Valley Screaming Eagles vs. Walter Johnson 05/05/2008 - Jesse Irvin
Walker scores her 66th goal of the year.
Walter Johnson (WJ) spoiled Seneca’s senior day game by beating the Lady Eagles 18 – 7. WJ opened with a 4 – 1 run in the first 5 minutes and never looked back. The half time score was 11 – 3. The second half began where the first half ended with WJ scoring early and often.
Despite the score there were a couple bright spots. Julia von Heeringen played well on defense stymieing WJ’s offense with timely blocks and slides, especially in the second half. Coach Maloney said of Julia’s plays that she’s making remarkable progress especially when you consider she never held a lacrosse stick prior to March first. Sara Walker scored 6 goals giving her 66 for the year and 87 points overall. Molly Gillespie threw in the other goal giving her a balanced 35 goals and 35 assists for the season.
Next for the 2 and 10 girls’ varsity lacrosse team is the play-offs and a first round meeting with Northwood High School.
