Monticello’s girls lacrosse team is picking up steam, with the latest win coming Wednesday night in the form of a 21-4 blowout of E.C. Glass at home.
The Mustangs scored 14 first half goals to build a 14-2 advantage before halftime. Monticello controlled the ball early on, but it took them 10 shots to get on the board, with E.C. Glass goalie Haley Roeser saving seven of the first nine shots while the others sailed wide. A flurry of scoring from the Mustangs followed, with Bailey Mincer assisting twice and scoring once during the 25-second, three-goal explosion. Paige McGlothlin started the scoring off a Mincer assist, then Mincer scored unassisted off the draw. Mincer capped the run with an assist off another fast break, this time finding Summer Larese.
Larese piled up seven goals and four assists in the win while Mincer finished with five goals and four assists. McGlothlin scored three times and also notched a pair of assists. Eight different Mustangs finished with a goal and Monticello registered assists on 13 of 21 goals.
Monticello now takes a two week break before taking on Albemarle at Monticello April 14.
