Saturday girls lax postponed
Two girls lacrosse tournaments scheduled for Satuday – at Anne Arundel Community College and at Dulaney -- have been postponed due to rain.
The AACC Tournament, which included six ranked teams in the eight games that had been scheduled for Saturday, was called off after heavy rain in Arnold continued past 11:30 a.m.
Jim Griffiths, the AACC women’s lacrosse coach and tournament director, said he would try to find a make-up date for Saturday’s games, which included some intriguing matchups. Although most of the teams are from Anne Arundel County, the tournament features non-traditional opponents including No. 2 Severna Park vs. Severn, No. 10 Broadneck vs. No. 6 Archbishop Spalding and No. 11 South River vs. No. 12 Fallston. The rest of the lineup included No. 7 Annapolis vs. Catonsville, Chespeake-AA vs. Queen Anne’s, Old Mill vs. Urbana, Arundel vs. C. Milton Wright and Westminster vs. Towson.
Fortunately, this is a two-day round-robin event that continues on Monday when the weather forecast appears more cooperative. All these teams will get to play then but against different opponents.
It was also too wet at Dulaney to play the Baltimore Showcase, which featured No. 3 Notre Dame Prep, No. 13 Century and No. 15 Hereford.
Dulaney athletic director Mike Lafferty said he would try to reschedule some, if not all, of the games in some format even if it has to be over several days if that is possible within Maryland public school rules. Rescheduling, he said, could be a problem because public school teams have limits on how many games they can play in a single week and how many games they can play overall.
If games were to be played over several days that might no longer classify as a tournament and could put a team over its season limit. That could also be an issue for some of the teams in the AACC Tournament.
