Hereford girls closer to county title berth
Hereford’s girls lacrosse team knows the secret to success in a team sport – playing together and spreading the wealth.
“They like each other,” said coach Anne Ensor. “I’m never sure how to word it but they’re almost playing better than they are, because they don’t care who gets the points.”
Last week, the Bulls had nine players score in a 17-2 win over Catonsville and six players score in an 11-10 double-overtime win over Dulaney. Marta Randall scored the game winner against Dulaney and had three goals while Ellen Halle scored four.
"But other kids were the ones who said, ‘We’re going to swing the momentum,’ and they opened it up for Ellen and Marta,” said Ensor.
Trailing 4-1 at halftime, the Bulls (8-1) never led until Randall’s sudden-death goal. They also had strong performances from defenders Emily Dohony and Angela Stone, midfielder Courtney Haldeman and goalie Jordan Dempsey (eigth saves).
The Bulls can clinch a berth in Tuesday’s Baltimore County championship with a win over Loch Raven Wednesday.
