SAMMAMISH, Wash. – Lucy Williams scored with 1:01 remaining in double overtime to give Lakeside its fourth consecutive Girls Division I Washington state high school lacrosse title in a 14 – 13 thriller over Bainbridge Island, Saturday at Charlie Acosta Field on the campus of the Eastside Catholic School in Sammamish, Wash.
The victory was the seventh overall Girls Division I state championship for the Lions, tying them with Bainbridge who had held the edge since 2002.
In a game that came down to a final possession, Lakeside emerged victorious, consistently recovering from a relentless Bainbridge team and holding the Spartans to just their second lowest-point output of the season.
The winning goal came with time winding down in the second overtime, as Williams caught a crisp Emmy Armintrout pass in front of the net and fired a shot past Spartan goaltender Josefine Wallace for the go-ahead goal. “Emmy told me, ‘Lucy, you need to get open’, so I made a cut and was lucky she made a great pass.” The goal was just the second of the afternoon for the Second-Team All-State senior.
In the first, a stingy Bainbridge defense kept Lakeside in check for most of the half, before consecutive yellow cards forced Spartans’ coach Tami Tommila to replace two top line defenders. With Spartan midfielders now defending, Lakeside connected for two goals in the final minute to take a 6 – 4 halftime lead.
In the second, the Lions again controlled the ball early, scoring three unanswered goals to take a 9 – 4 lead with 16 minutes remaining.
But Bainbridge rallied, scoring five unanswered goals over the next five minutes to knot the game at 9 – 9. “Coming back from a five-goal deficit was quite a momentum changer. I’m proud of my girls for doing that,” said Tommila.
Lakeside then took the lead three separate times in the remaining 8:35 of the game, but Bainbridge responded to each with goals of their own including Jaclyn Biggers’ score on a free-possession shot with just 23 seconds remaining to force the overtime period.
“We knew this game was going down to one possession,” said Lakeside coach Jamie Asaka, who is in her fifth year at the helm of the Lions program. “The team that controls the game at the end and maintains possession was going to win it.” But the end never seemed to appear for the Lions.
In the first overtime, Lakeside’s Katrina Carlsen beat Wallace with just 44 seconds remaining, but Biggers again found the net, this time with just 5 seconds remaining, to force the second overtime. “At that point we needed to deny (Biggers) the ball,” said Asaka. “She’s very poised and has a great stick and great shot.”
In the second extra period, Lakeside won the opening draw and controlled play for most of the period before connecting for the game winner.
Morgan Merriman and Sarah Pollnow had three goals and Sarah Adler had 13 saves in goal for the Lions. In the loss Mariah Walk scored five for Bainbridge.
Scoring:
Lakeside 6 6 1 1 -- 14
Bainbridge 4 8 1 0 -- 13
Highlights: Morgan Merriman, L, 3 goals, 1 assist; Sarah Pollnow, L, 3 goals; Lucy Williams, L, 2 goals; Sylvia Warren, L, 1 goal, 8 draw controls; Katrina Carlsen, L, 1 goal, 2 assists; Sadie Mackay, L, 3 goals; Lauren Blake-Whitney, L, 1 goal; Sarah Adler, L, 13 saves; Mariah Walk, B, 5 goals, 1 assist; Jaclyn Biggers, B, 3 goals; Sally Baumgartner, B, 2 goals, 3 assists; Delaney Larkin, B, 1 goal, 2 assists; Sarah Shea, B, 1 goal; Sydney Whitaker, B, 1 goal; Josefine Wallace, B, 6 saves)

SAMMAMISH, Wash. -- Loreal Camp scored five goals and collected six ground balls to lead Mercer Island to a 14 – 8 win over Issaquah for the Islander’s first varsity girls state lacrosse championship, Saturday at Charlie Acosta Field on the campus of the Eastside Catholic School in Sammamish, Wash.
The Islander defense held Issaquah and the league’s second leading scorer Katie Mincin in check for most of the game to set the stage for its 14-goal blitz. Mincin, who averaged just over six goals per game in the regular season, beat Islander goaltender Helen Hansen just three times.
Mercer Island got down to business early as Camp took possession of a ground ball and drove deep into the Issaquah zone for the first of five unanswered goals by the Islanders. Issaquah finally got on the board with just 31 seconds remaining in the half to make it 5 – 1 at the intermission.
“We wanted to start the game fast and control the pace,” said Islander coach Tony D’Alessio, whose team launched 16 shots on Issaquah goaltender Teagan Cameron in the first half.
In the second, the Islanders again put the pressure on Cameron, as Camp grabbed the opening draw and marched in for the first of a four-goal Islander run to open the half.
“They’re hard to defend, it’s just tough to chase Loreal (Camp) and Sarah (Drucker) around the field,” said Issaquah midfielder Brittany Hogan.
At the mid-way point of the half, Issaquah finally took the Islanders off their game, scoring on five of eight shot attempts over the next six minutes to establish momentum.
“We got on a run. There was a drive to win,” said Hogan who had two of Issaquah’s five unanswered goals. The effort closed the gap to 11 – 7. But the Islanders held, netting three of the final four for a 9-goal half and the victory.
“My defense saved this game for me,” said MI goaltender Helen Hansen who recorded 25 saves – 17 in the second half. “They should get all of the credit.”
Scoring:
Issaquah 1 7 -- 8
Mercer Island 5 9 -- 14
Highlights: Loreal Camp, MI, 5 goals, 6 ground balls, 6 draw controls; Sarah Drucker, MI, 4 goals, 1 assist; Elizabeth Bachman, MI, 2 goals; Elena Skouras, MI, 2 goals; Ariana Lucia, MI, 1 goal; Clara Felker, MI, 6 caused turnovers; Helen Hanson, MI, 25 saves; Katie Mincin, IS, 3 goals; Brittany Hogan, IS, 2 goals, 7 ground balls; Brittany Hogan, IS, 2 goals; Meaghan Stratford, IS, 2 goals; Sidney Lee, IS, 1 goal; Teagan Cameron, IS, 14 saves)

SEATTLE – Corey Milinovich scored five goals and Mariko Carmichael scored four to lead Nathan Hale to a 14 – 12 Girls Division I high school lacrosse win over Tacoma, on seniors night Monday at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle.
The win evened Hale’s record at 6-6-0 and elevated the Raiders to a three-way tie with Tacoma and Snohomish for sixth place in Division I play. The top eight teams advance to the post season.
Hale opened scoring in the first as Hannah Gose found the net just 45 seconds into the game. The Raiders then went on to score three of the next four goals to take the early 4-1 lead. Tacoma then evened the game at four on two goals by Sadie Treleven and a solo shot by Elena Wimberger.
Following a three-goal run by Hale, Tacoma again came clawing back to tie the game at 7-7 on goals from Arijanna Zimmer at 5:40 and 3:39. Hale connected for two more take a two goal lead into the intermission.
In the second, Treleven brought the game within one twice, but Tacoma never got closer as the Raiders stayed just out of reach to secure the win.
“This was a huge win for Nathan Hale,” said Tacoma coach Courtney Stringer, whose team was dominated by 17 Nathan Hale draw controls including 6 by Lara Sidhu. “They were scrappy and fought for every ground ball and every draw control. They had huge energy from the get go.”
In the loss, Treleven had four goals for Tacoma and goaltender Charlie Cisacowski had nine saves.
