BRUNSWICK — The Brunswick Junior High School girls ‘A’ lacrosse dream fought hard, but fell in three recent games. The first an 11-10 showing against North Yarmouth Academy, while the second was a 7-2 setback to Scarborough. The Huskies then hosted St. Dom’s in the third game, but a second-half comeback fell short, 7-5.
Against NYA, the Huskies managed to erase a 7-3 halftime deficit with Jenna Brooks leading the offense with five goals. Anna Nadeau tallied two goals of her own, while Jillian Giunti, Lila Solberg and Beth Labbe contributed with single markers.
Mikaela Aschbrenner had five saves in net for Brunswick, with defensive strengths from Emma Dorr, Maggie Folsom and Rian Sachs.
In the most recent game against Scarborough, Brooks tallied another goal with an assist from Labbe, while the second goal featured the same pair, but this time it was Labbe who got credit for the goal.
Aschbrenner was noted for her outstanding play in net, turning away eight shots. Bridget Smith, Harriet Peabody and Door all had standout performances on defense.
The Huskies saw two more goals by the credit of Brooks against St. Dom’s. Door, Labbe and Atti Shepherd all managed to put one in the back of the net as well. Aschbrenner saved six shots in net, but the aforementioned second-half comeback that featured strong offense and tough defense was not enough to top St. Dom’s.
