Girls Lacrosse: Tigers lose indoors in Rochester


The weather hasn't allowed any games outside since the season opening loss to Lakeville South on Apr. 11, so the Tigers took their act indoors Thursday night, losing 11-4 to Rochester John Marshall/Lourdes at the Rochester Recreation Center.
"Well at least we got to play," Tiger coach Dan Pickens said. "The girls have been getting frustrated with all the postponed games and practicing in the gym. This game would have been postponed too if we had played outside because there was a storm."
The visitors made a game of it in the first half, trailing just 4-3 at intermission. But the Rochester co-operative outscored the Tigers 7-1 after the break to win going away.
Tia Jacoby accounted for two of the Tiger goals. Ally Midboe picked up her fifth score of the young season and Haley Bradshaw notched her third.
"Rochester made the right adjustments (at halftime) and used their team better than we did," Pickens said. "They caught us off guard and that won't happen again.
"We were too worried about if we were going to play and where we were going to play and not focused on the game. We beat ourselves....We will learn from it and get better."
